Infrastructure – For Bridge Projects, Durability and R-Value Reign Supreme

When it comes to the health, safety and environmental (HSE) impact of water and wastewater pipeline management, bursting pipes are problematic, to say the least. When those pipes are suspended over a river, the problems only compound. In order to avoid contaminating waterways and creating a public health hazard, water and sewer pipes, particularly ones that are not in constant use, require insulation to keep them from freezing.

Dragon Jacket Insulation Protects Water Main Pipeline On Northern Idaho Bridge

Government officials in the city of Kellogg, Idaho needed an insulation solution to protect a water main spanning across the Elizabeth Park Bridge. The one-hundred feet of pipeline operates under the stress of vibration from vehicle traffic and required a durable insulation solution that could withstand constant movement, while also providing protective benefits against the freezing temperatures of harsh Northern Idaho winters.

Dragon Jacket Insulation First to Pass Sabra’s In-House Sanitization Test

Sabra needed a reusable insulation option that was easy to sanitize for the garlic paste line at their South Chesterfield processing facility. Dragon Jacket supplied three hundred linear feet of pipe insulation, along with a number of custom fittings and components designed for tight spaces.

Pipe Covers and Safety

Insulation pipe covers provide the hazard protection industries need to protect workers from exposure, accidents, and injury. The trick is finding the right product for the job.

Thermal Resistance

Keeping hot pipes hot and cold pipes cold. Thermal resistance is the fundamental point of insulation – but most insulation is really terrible at it – so, what gives?

Is Insulation Sabotaging Your Heat Trace System?

If you’re going to invest in a heat trace system, be sure to support its functionality with insulation that will deliver consistent support over the lifespan of the system…and beyond.

Why Reusability is So Important When It Comes to Insulation Products

Managing insulation waste is an area of operations that can drain resources on multiple fronts. From management and disposal to replacement and installation, traditional insulation is easily damaged, prone to failure, difficult to work with, and a source of enormous waste. Dealing with continually failing insulation is expensive, time-intensive, inefficient and, at times, dangerous. In short, it is often a chronic expense that saps away profits, disrupts operations and contributes significantly to a company’s carbon and waste footprint.

Dragon Jacket Insulation – Box Truck Challenge

To prove the durability and strength of Dragon Jacket insulation, we ran over half of a 90° elbow with a box truck, and guess what happened? Nothing! More than 10,000 pounds of pressure couldn’t touch the durability of Dragon Jacket. That’s because Dragon Jacket is engineered to be superhero strong, protecting pipes from damage, weather, people and animals.
