Project Details
TST completed the installation of custom-made Removable Insulation Covers (RIC) for all steam piping and fittings in ten (10) vaults on the University of Maryland’s campus. These RICs were fabricated with a hydrophobic Pyrogel® XT-E insulation. Pyrogel® XT-E is a high-temperature insulation blanket that is formed of silica aerogel and is deal for manholes or vaults that are prone to flooding, as it repels liquid water and restores the thermal efficiency of steam piping. For more information about our innovative RICs designed to repel water in flood-prone confined spaces, click here.
