First Quality is a diversified family of companies manufacturing a variety of products for Adult Care, Infant Care, Feminine Care, Consumer Paper Products, Bottled Water, and Engineered Non-woven Roll Goods. First Quality serves the Retail, Institutional, and Commercial channels throughout the world.

The facility had a 250,000-gallon fire water storage tank, which required insulation per NFPA (National Fire Protection Association).

This RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System was installed on a fire water storage tank for First Quality located in Lock Haven, PA. The tank was utilized to hold fire water for fire protection at the manufacturing facility. RIDGLOK® Insulation Systems are being used 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 tank was a 33.5’ diameter x 26’ in height, welded tank. The project was completed in September 2015.

The RIDGLOK® Insulated Panel System consisted of 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing in Fawn laminated to 1.5” polyisocyanurate insulation board with an R-value of 9.6 using a straight cone roof system.
