After a building survey by the insurance company this client was required to address issues in certain areas. Their heating process used hot oil. The risk was any oil leaking at valves/flanges could be soaked up within the mineral fibre insulation which becomes a fire hazard. There was also a lack of fire stopping at fire rated walls within a tank area containing highly inflammable liquids.

The existing insulation had not been protected from bird attack and through the years the protection on the insulation had become damaged. It became sodden with water which prevented the insulation from trapping warm air and doing its job of insulating.

Soil, vent, and rainwater pipework to be insulated to prevent unwanted noise in apartments due to pipes passing through apartments.

A efficiency program the heating for these homes will be sourced from an incinerator plant three miles away though pre-insulated underground pipework which is routed to two vessels 4.2 meters in diameter and 10.5 meters high.
