Industrial Insulation

As an industrial insulation contractor, we provide cost-effective and energy efficient industrial insulation solutions to the Oil and Gas industry.

Damaged, wet, or aging insulation can result in dripping pipes, leaking valves, and heat-traced tubes. With Western Canada’s weather extremes, it’s not unusual for badly insulated pipes to freeze and crack. The subsequent cascade of events can put both employees and the environment at risk and lead to downtime and productivity losses while repairs are carried out.
Installing proper insulation, maintaining existing insulation, or replacing inadequate insulation not only protects piping systems, but also the products transported through them and the efficiency with which those products are carried.

Insulation panel installation is available for production tank meter controls, vessels, and storage tanks throughout Western Canada. Insulation panels for tanks and vessels come in various exterior finishes including:

• Galvalume
• Galvanized
• Pre-painted
• Aluminum

We offer cutting-edge installation of Glycol Heat Tracing systems and tubing.

Glycol Heat Tracing is a popular method of protecting pipes, boilers, pumps and other equipment, or maintaining water at specific temperatures during the extreme cold of Western Canada’s winters. The method involves strapping a series of closed loop tubing circuits to the equipment. Heated glycol is then circulated through the tubing dissipating its heat to the equipment being protected. This whole thermal balancing process of matching heat output with heat loss takes place under a layer of insulation.

Heat tracing systems are custom designed to the specific requirements of the equipment being protected and can be contoured to protect the many different types of valve work found in the oil and gas industry.

We install reusable, removable tracer wraps and insulation covers in all major Oil and Gas regions in Alberta and British Columbia.

Removable and reusable insulation is a great solution in situations where it needs to be removed frequently. Temporary insulation wraps are a breeze to remove and replace. They allow better access for workers while ensuring workplace safety and controlling general operating temperatures.

Our temporary covers and wraps are made from Calcium Silicate and are both flame-retardant and chemical-resistant. They tend to be less expensive than permanent insulation solutions, but just like more permanent solutions, our temporary covers boost energy efficiency by improving temperature regulation and reducing heat loss.

A Utilidor is the insulated bundle of pipes commonly used in Canada’s most northern communities. In these regions of extreme cold, the permafrost conditions mean that water and electricity need to be distributed above ground. Utilidors insulate these networks of pipes and cables, preventing them and their contents from freezing.

Utilidors are typically created using polyurethane foam insulation as wraps or panels. They minimize heat loss, maximize cost savings, and boost energy efficiency by insulating bundles of pipes rather than insulating each pipe individually.

Insulated building panels for building and skirting are similar to those used to insulate tanks, but since building panels don’t require flexibility, these panels are not scored. Well-chosen, properly installed insulation panels, particularly around such items as production tanks, meter controls, storage tanks and vessels, typically realize immediate cost savings by protecting both the equipment’s interior and exterior from extreme heat and cold.

Structures that can be built using polyurethane insulated panels include:

• Utilidors
• Storage units
• Portable offices
• Onsite Dorms
• Trailers
• Pump buildings
• Mud rooms
