MC&I designed, manufactured and installed the RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel System on a fire protection storage tank, located in Andover, NJ.

The fire protection water storage tank was a 21.5′ diameter x 18′ high chimed bolted tank. The storage tank insulation project was completed in May, 2012.

The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel System consisted of 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing, in Fawn color, laminated to 3″ of polyisocyanurate insulation board on the shell and 2″ of polyisocyanurate insulation board on the roof. (R-value of 20.3 on the shell and 13.1 on the roof), using a straight panel roof system.

The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel 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 Insulated Panel System provides energy savings by reducing the amount of electricity needed to heat the fire water storage tank.
