Industrial Insulation
The Best in Safety, Expertise & Efficiency
INTRODUCTION
United States
An aggressive 28-day schedule-which was already two
shifts behind-was projected, and required a 20,000 man-
hour expenditure to remove existing insulation from four coke
drums (each 22 ft x 85 ft tall), while they were in service, to
be replaced with a new floating panel system. This was an
implementation of unique technology. The new insulation
design was a floating ring, standing seam panel system,
designed to flex with the expansion and contraction of the
coke drums. The panel system consisted of prefabricated,
pre-insulated panels with a stainless steel jacket.
The main keys to success were safety and detailed
preplanning. On top of presenting the hazardous risk of
potential falling objects overhead. The existing insulation
system showed extensive deterioration, requiring a creative
dismantling approach.
Brand showcased their commitment to resources and
innovative use of technology, with the innovative flex insulation
system, along with their scaffold, designed to handle weight
loads, staging of materials and personnel access. The end
result was a successful quality-produced project, which was
both under-budget and schedule complaint, with zero injuries.
