MC&I sandblasted and painted the interior and the exterior of this fire protection tank with Sherwin Williams Epo-Phen paint. In addition, MC&I designed, manufactured and installed the RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel System on the welded ground storage tank, located in North Smithfield, RI.

The ground fire protection storage tank was a 40′ diameter x 24′ high welded tank. The tank insulation project was completed in September, 2012.

The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel System consisted of 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing, in a White color, laminated to 1.5″ of polyisocyanurate insulation board (R-value of 10), using a straight panel system on the cone roof.

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