MC&I designed, manufactured and installed the RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel System at a power plant located in Plainfield, CT.

The biomass energy bolted storage tank was a 44.56′ in diameter x 49.69′ in height bolted tank with a double stringer spiral staircase. The storage tank insulation project was completed on May 23, 2013. Details of the Plainfield Renewable Energy project can be read about by clicking on this link:

The PRE project will generate 37.5 megawatts (net) of clean energy to power the equivalent of 37,000 homes. The project will consume wood readily available from various sources such as construction and demolition (C&D) debris, recycled wood pallets, and land clearing materials. Connecticut Light & Power will purchase power from the plant based on a 15-year off-take agreement, utilizing the plant’s status as a renewable power source. The PRE project has all necessary permits to construct the facility and anticipates completion in December 2013.

The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel Systemconsisted of 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing, in fawn, laminated to 2″ thick of polyisocyanurate insulation board. R-value of 13.1, using a straight panel roof system.

RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulated Panel Systems REDUCE temperature difference to provide a THERMAL barrier between the external temperatures and the internal tank contents. Insulation of storage tanks REDUCES routine maintenance and PREVENTS energy waste while LOWERING fuel costs.
