SEITec (www.seitecinc.com) is a California corporation established in 2014 with focus on water and the environment. SEITec provides engineering and construction services in the areas of water infrastructure, stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), and sustainability. Our goal is to implement the most effective and environmentally sustainable solutions.

SEITec is actively involved in the development of innovative technologies that address the challenges of our changing planet. One such solution is SEITec FireGuard (www.fireguard.us), a wildfire protection system for structures and vehicles. The system uses “Aluminized Structure Wrap” (ASW); a fire-resistant composite fabric made from woven fiberglass fibers coated with aluminum foil. The aluminized surface reflects the intense radiant heat while the underlying fiberglass fabric provides thermal insulation. This is the same material that firefighters use to protect historic buildings and old-growth trees from wildfire, and as personal shelters.

SEITec FireGuard supplies ASW and provides installation support services for emergency deployment and permanent installation. Our ASW products are available in three grades: light weight, medium weight, and heavy weight. All grades may be used for emergency wrapping: heavier weight ASW makes for a sturdier wrap providing higher tensile strength, more tear and wind resistance, and higher heat conduction resistance and is also suitable as heat shield in industrial applications. Lighter weight ASW provides for easier transportation and handling during wrapping. Both the light weight and medium weight products are breathable fabrics, also suitable for permanent installation.

SEITec FireGuard also offers CarShield, a protective cover for cars, trucks, and SUVs. CarShield is Emergency Preparedness Equipment for vehicle owners in wildfire prone areas. It can be deployed rapidly to protect the vehicle, either at home or during evacuation. It is made from the same double-coated ASW that firefighters use as personal shelter. Therefore, it could also serve as an emergency shelter.
