Complete Industrial Insulation Services

Our insulation division specializes in two critical areas of industrial mechanical insulation, each requiring distinct expertise and specialized approaches. For industrial piping systems, we provide cut-and-fitted insulation solutions for steam pipes, high-temperature applications, LNG systems, and cryogenic lines. Our technicians excel in acoustic insulation for noise control, fireproofing applications for safety compliance, and heat tracing insulation for both electric and glycol tracing systems. The precision snake wrap techniques we employ ensure optimal coverage around complex piping configurations, while our metal jacketing systems provide long-lasting protection against environmental factors.

In the oil and gas sector, our expertise extends to critical equipment insulation including pressure vessels, storage tanks, heat exchangers, and pipeline systems. We use industrial grade techniques for insulating exhaust manifolds and associated piping systems, bleed lines that require precise temperature control, utility corridors (utilidors) that demand weather-resistant solutions, and compressed air lines where condensation control is essential. Each application receives customized treatment based on operating temperatures, environmental conditions, and specific performance requirements.

Our approach to every project begins with thorough assessment and planning, ensuring that material selection and installation techniques align optimally with your operational needs. We work closely with facility managers and operations teams to develop solutions that minimize downtime while maximizing long-term performance. The flexibility of our service delivery means we can adapt to your scheduling requirements, whether that involves working around production schedules, coordinating with other contractors, or executing projects in remote locations where logistics present unique challenges.

Advanced Insulation Materials and Technical Expertise for Any Project

Our insulation approach centers on selecting the right material for each application, balancing performance, durability, and environmental demands. Drawing on a broad range of advanced insulation options—from high-temperature and high-efficiency systems to flexible and protective solutions—we tailor each project to its operational needs without relying on a single material type. Backed by extensive experience across Western Canada’s challenging climates and remote installations, we understand how regional conditions affect performance and longevity. This expertise ensures every project receives a carefully chosen insulation strategy and a professional installation that delivers long-term reliability.

Jackets and Coverings

Protective jackets and coverings shield insulation systems from mechanical damage, weather, UV exposure, and chemical contact. Available in a range of options, these coverings extend system life, improve safety, and maintain the integrity of the underlying insulation.

Styrene

Styrene-based insulation systems are commonly used for buried pipelines and industrial applications where compressive strength, moisture resistance, and long-term stability are essential. Their rigid structure helps maintain thermal performance under soil loads and environmental stress, making them ideal for underground installations.

Mineral Fibre

Mineral fibre insulation delivers reliable high-temperature performance and excellent fire resistance for a wide range of industrial applications. Commonly used on piping, vessels, and ducting, it provides strong thermal efficiency, sound reduction, and durability while maintaining accessibility for maintenance.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass insulation is a versatile and cost-effective solution for industrial piping, tanks, and equipment operating at moderate to high temperatures. It provides strong thermal resistance, ease of installation, and compatibility with protective jackets and coverings, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Ceramic

Ceramic fibre insulation provides extremely high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for exhaust manifolds, refractory systems, and other demanding industrial applications. Its lightweight design, low thermal conductivity, and rapid-heat tolerance help protect equipment and personnel in elevated-temperature environments.

Calcium Silicate

Calcium silicate insulation is engineered for high-temperature industrial environments, providing outstanding compressive strength and thermal stability. Commonly used on steam lines, vessels, and high-heat process equipment, it withstands physical abuse and maintains structural integrity during long-term service.

Urethane

Urethane insulation offers high thermal efficiency and strong mechanical durability, making it well-suited for pipelines, tanks, and cold-service applications. Its closed-cell structure resists moisture ingress and maintains energy efficiency, even under extreme temperature cycling.

Polyurethane

Polyurethane panels offer high thermal efficiency and consistent manufacturing quality, making them ideal for industrial buildings, utilidors, and modular enclosures. Their rigid construction provides excellent insulation performance, moisture resistance, and structural support while simplifying installation and long-term maintenance.

Aerogel

Aerogel insulation delivers industry-leading thermal performance in a lightweight, flexible form. Ideal for tight clearances and high-temperature systems, aerogel products minimize heat loss while reducing insulation thickness, offering exceptional performance where space, weight, and efficiency are critical.

Foam Glass Insulation

Foam glass insulation offers exceptional moisture resistance and dimensional stability, making it ideal for piping and equipment exposed to harsh industrial or below-grade conditions. Its non-combustible, closed-cell structure prevents water absorption and maintains consistent thermal performance, even in corrosive or chemically aggressive environments.
