The tank was utilized to hold water for a fire protection Equinix NY6 Data Center facility.

This RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System was installed on a Fire Protection Tank at the Equinix NY6 Data Center located in Secaucus, NJ. The tank was a 25.18’ diameter x 19.94’ Flat Bolted Tank. The project was completed on September 29, 2014.

The RIDGLOK® Insulated Panel System consisted of type of metal, 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing, in 29 Gauge Galv, laminated to 2.0” of polyisocyanurate insulation board. R-value of 13.1, using a cone roof system.

RIDGLOK® Insulation Systems are utilized for freeze protection on fire water supply for wet sprinkler systems. Fire protection water storage tanks that are in colder regions are required to have tank heaters and permitted to be insulated to CONSERVE energy per NFPA 22 codes section 16.1-16.5.

The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation system is used for freeze protection in fire protection tanks. The panels can be applied to all types of tanks, including flat bolted, chimed bolted, glass lined, fiberglass, welded, stainless steel and concrete. The tank does not need to be taken out of service to install the system. Insulating fire protection tanks with RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulation provides energy savings by reducing the amount of electricity needed to heat the tank.
