Industrial/Commercial Mechanical Insulation

Mechanical insulation has many uses and applications in the industrial sector.

Its primary purpose is used as a line of defense against energy loss. Oftentimes, heavy industrial processes require a large amount of energy, and Mechanical Insulation can help protect the process from energy loss, which ultimately saves money.

Mechanical Insulation can also be applied to a facility’s pipe system. Properly protected piping can improve system functionality and save money. Similarly, Mechanical Insulation can be applied to HVAC work in industrial settings. Preventing condensation and minimizing energy loss makes the HVAC system more efficient, as well.

Mechanical Insulation is beneficial to every sector, as it is a time-tested technology, which has been proven to offer a solid return on investment when properly installed.

Since Mechanical Insulation controls temperature and moisture, the men and women working inside a facility are protected from exposure to hot mechanical systems/piping, mold and bacteria.

Applying Mechanical Insulation to mechanical equipment or other industrial components ensures their longevity. By reducing moisture buildup and regulating temperature, Mechanical Insulation helps protect industrial equipment from rust while helping it run more efficiently. This, in turn, extends the life span of these units and their systems.

Proper installation and maintenance of Mechanical Insulation in an industrial facility offers a great monetary return. No other construction project can offer such a quick ROI, which can ultimately make a significant difference in the bottom line.

Mechanical Insulation can benefit commercial and institutional buildings. From temperature control to minimizing health and safety hazards, Mechanical Insulation is a proven, valuable investment.

Hospitals and medical buildings, colleges and universities, skyscrapers, office complexes and other similar buildings can save money by investing in properly installed mechanical insulation.

The proper installation and maintenance of Mechanical Insulation will regulate the temperature of the structure’s mechanical system and piping, helping to reduce energy consumption. This, in turn, will lower the cost of heating and cooling the building.

It will also prevent condensation from building up on the equipment and the pipes or ductwork. When these items condense, the water can lead to bacteria and mold growth, which can be harmful to many people.

Further, the insulation can prevent people from touching potentially hot pipes and injuring themselves. In these instances, spending some money on preventative measures generally outweighs the cost of a lawsuit.

The Mechanical Insulators Labor Management Cooperative Trust (LMCT) advocates for the use and upgrade of mechanical insulation in commercial buildings.

The ROI from the proper installation and maintenance of Mechanical Insulation will come through reduced energy consumption, which in turn will reduce the amount of emissions created by a facility. It will also help to protect lives and increase the life expectancy of mechanical equipment.

In a short time, the installation of Mechanical Insulation will put money back into the bottom line.

If your mechanical system lacks Mechanical Insulation, the best way to find out how much money you can save is through a Mechanical Insulation Energy Audit.

When performed by properly trained individuals, a Mechanical Insulation Energy Audit will show a property owner how much money they can save by investing in Mechanical Insulation. The audit reviews the data and provides actual information to show the savings that can be realized, both short- and long-term.

In addition to installing new, commercial mechanical insulation systems, LMCT-affiliated contractors can repair or replace damaged or missing Mechanical Insulation.
