Key Responsibilities
✅ Installation & Fabrication
*
Apply insulation materials (e.g., mineral wool, calcium silicate, PIR foam, aerogel) to pipes, boilers, ductwork, and tanks.
*
Fabricate custom sheet metal cladding (stainless steel, aluminum) for weather/impact protection.
*
Prevent cold bridging and condensation through precision fitting.
🔧 Maintenance & Repair
*
Inspect and replace damaged insulation in hazardous areas (ATEX zones, chemical plants).
*
Conduct thermal imaging surveys to identify heat loss/faults.
*
Remove/reinstall insulation for equipment maintenance (e.g., valve access).
🛡️ Safety & Compliance
*
Adhere to COSHH for handling insulation fibres/dust (e.g., silica, asbestos legacy risks).
*
Follow working at height (IPAF/PASMA) and confined space protocols.
*
Ensure fire-stopping integrity for penetrations (BS 476-20/22)
