The Insulation Technology group is based out of CB&I’s Insulation Betterment Center in Plainfield, Illinois, USA. The facility has 6000+ square feet under one roof to evaluate and develop insulation systems and maintain equipment, including a 60 ft. diameter test tank.
Project Design and Execution
Insulation Technology is involved from the beginning of the project working with Engineering to achieve the best designs for the quality and longevity of the insulation system. Our 50+ years of experience with self-performing installation techniques allow for the shortest field schedules and better control of safety, quality, and costs.
