Mayes Coatings & Insulation designed, manufactured, and installed the RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System on a bolted tank located in Michigammee, MI.
The tanks are utilized to hold water for fire protection for a mining facility. The chimed bolted tanks were 18.5′ diameter x 16.1′ in height, 32.7′ diameter x 32.2′ in height, and 32.75′ diameter x 40.25′ in height. The project was completed on December 7, 2011.
The RIDGLOK® Insulated Panel System consisted of 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing), in Fawn, laminated to 3” thickness of polyisocyanurate insulation board. R-value of 20.3, using a standard straight roof system.
MC&I is the proud manufacturer of the RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System for ground storage tanks. RIDGLOK® insulation systems are engineered to be energy efficient, durable, and cost-effective. RIDGLOK® can be used for both heated and cold storage applications without the need to take the tank out of service. This tank insulation system can be applied to all types of tanks, including flat bolted, chimed bolted, glass-lined, fiberglass, welded, stainless steel, and concrete.
ADVANTAGES
The RIDGLOK® vertical standing seam panel insulation system is a smart and efficient thermal barrier, helping save money on utility costs of heating or cooling the tank. Insulate your tank with RIDGLOK®
FIRE PROTECTION
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.
