Kingspan supports birmingham regeneration pipeline

Kingspan in action

Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation and Insulated Pipe Support Inserts have been installed as part of the community heating scheme for a new apartment block.

Work on the block will provide much needed extra care housing provision with 268 one- and two-bedroom apartments. With the city committed to reaching Net Zero Carbon by 2030, ensuring efficient operation of the network was crucial. To support this, Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation and Insulated Pipe Supports were fitted across all low temperature hot water (LTHW) and domestic hot water services (DHWS) pipework within the building by specialist contractors Insulation & Cladding Services Limited.

Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation offers one of the most thermally efficient pipework insulation solutions, allowing the M&E team to minimise losses from secondary pipework with a slim insulation thickness.
