Comprehensive Industrial Piping Insulation Services

Forward Concept Construction is equipped to insulate even the most complex industrial applications. Our broad capabilities allow us to support projects of any scale with precision and consistency.

Heat Tracing / Electric Tracing / Glycol Tracing Insulation

Heat Tracing / Electric Tracing / Glycol Tracing Insulation

Heat tracing insulation presents unique challenges that require both electrical and insulation expertise. Our team installs insulation systems around electric heat tracing cables and glycol tracing lines, maintaining the delicate balance between heat retention and trace system accessibility. These installations prevent freeze-up in critical process lines while ensuring maintenance access when needed.
High Temp Pipe Insulation

High Temp Pipe Insulation

High-temperature pipe insulation represents one of our core competencies, where we regularly handle systems operating at extreme temperatures. Our team understands the unique thermal expansion challenges, material selection requirements, and installation techniques necessary for pipes carrying superheated fluids and other high-temperature processes. We select appropriate insulation materials and thickness calculations to maintain process temperatures while protecting surrounding equipment and personnel.
Snake Wrap or Soft Cover Insulation

Snake Wrap or Soft Cover Insulation

Snake wrap applications provide flexible insulation solutions for complex piping configurations, expansion joints, and areas where traditional rigid insulation proves impractical. Our snake wrap installations maintain thermal performance while accommodating pipe movement and providing easy access for maintenance activities.
Acoustic Insulation

Acoustic Insulation

Acoustic insulation solutions address noise control challenges in industrial environments where excessive pipe and exhaust noise can create unsafe working conditions or violate municipal noise ordinances. Our acoustic dampening techniques reduce vibration transmission and sound levels while maintaining thermal performance. This dual-purpose approach provides both noise control and energy efficiency in a single installation.
Fireproofing Insulation

Fireproofing Insulation

Fireproofing services protect critical piping systems from fire damage and help facilities meet stringent fire safety codes. Our fireproofing applications create barriers that maintain structural integrity during fire events, providing crucial time for emergency response and evacuation procedures. We work closely with facility safety managers to ensure all fireproofing installations meet or exceed applicable fire safety standards.
Cryo Line Insulation

Cryo Line Insulation

LNG and cryogenic line insulation requires specialized knowledge that our team has developed through years of experience in Western Canada’s energy sector. These ultra-low temperature applications demand precise material selection and installation techniques to prevent ice formation, maintain product quality, and ensure safe operation. Our cryogenic insulation solutions prevent heat gain that could cause product loss or create dangerous pressure situations in storage and transport systems.
Steam Pipe Insulation

Steam Pipe Insulation

Our steam pipe insulation services protect high-pressure steam distribution systems while maintaining optimal temperatures and preventing dangerous heat exposure. We work with facilities across Western Canada to ensure steam systems operate efficiently while meeting strict safety standards and regulatory requirements.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
