TST Completes VISN 15 Removable Insulation Cover Project
WICHITA, KS – With oversight from US2, Inc., TST has successfully completed a project for the Dept. of Veterans Affairs which involved nine (9) different VA Medical Centers throughout Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. Over a period of eleven months, 4,000 custom-made Removable Insulation Covers were manufactured and installed on boilers, heat exchangers, valves, strainers, elbows, tees, flanges and other miscellaneous piping/equipment in an effort to reduce heat losses and save energy. TST performed insulation assessments at each hospital to identify all bare or poorly insulated pipe fittings in power plants, boiler houses, mechanical rooms, manholes, pits, vaults and underground tunnels. Once the targets were identified and approved by the VA, custom-made RICs were designed, manufactured and installed.
