Using Pre-Insulation
to improve
Schedule, Constructability and
Construction Costs
And reduce Maintenance
costs
A. FibaRoll – UV curing GRP Insulation Cladding
Specified in Shell DEP and CINI -160 to
+120°C

B. FibaClad – ready cured straight sections and

fittings

C. FibaShield – pre-insulated pipe system

- PIR foam developed with Duna-Corradini
FTI are also suppliers of important services:

• Design and drawings

• Load testing and modelling using Finite Element
Analysis
• Training of contractors in the use of all products
• Quality Control and Inspection services to support
contractors and client

 Pre-Insulated Pipes: FibaShield
• Operating temperatures -190 to +250°C
• Continuous PIR insulation
• Machine applied Pyrogel/Cryogel
• Tough GRP outer cladding
• 4” to 48” pipe 25mm to 200mm insulation
• 5 to 18m pipes
• Mobile equipment

Improve Integrity & Schedule by
Pre-Insulation
 Eliminate damage to coatings
 Reduce manhours onsite by 80% - improve H&S
 Improve quality of work
 Improve insulation performance
 Improve schedule by insulating alongside other
construction
 Reduce scaffolding costs
 Simplify pipe support design and reduce construction
time and costs
 Pipe supports - FibaShield
No High Density PUR for Guide Supports
• Perfect fit even when pipe is out of round
• Quick installation
• Improved insulation performance due to >75% reduction
of high density PU (which has inferior insulation value)
• Stress analysis using FEA to assess safety margin
• Major cost saving
• Reduced maintenance
 Fieldwork with FibaRoll/FibaClad
• Supported by FTI’s training squad
• Faster to apply than metal sheet
• Sealed terminations
• Strong to withstand foot traffic
• Chosen by leading companies to prevent
water ingress, heat gain and CUI
 Risk Factors

• Mechanical completion delays

• Quality problems
• Delayed handover
• Financial loss
 Fire and Smoke
IMO – smoke and toxicity
IMO, BS, ASTM, NFP and DIN – fire standards
 Confirm excellent low flammability and self
extinguishing
 No hazardous gases
 Low smoke density
 No melting/softening
 Jet Fire certification and IMO A753 with
Chartek

 Review of Objectives

 Use Pre-Insulation to reduce risks of

construction – H&S/Schedule/Cost

 Lowest Life Cycle Costs with sealed

insulation systems
