Energy Audits
Insulation Survey
Thermal insulation surveys that identify heat loss on piping, vessels, and equipment across the plant.
Maps hidden heat loss plant-wide
Payback-prioritized recommendations
Covers piping, vessels, equipment
Recognise the Problem
You have hot piping or vessels where insulation looks damaged, missing, or was removed for a repair and never replaced.
Energy or fuel costs have losses that are hard to explain, and insulation condition has never been systematically checked.
Insulation across the plant was specified some time ago and hasn't been reviewed against current operating conditions.
You don't have a prioritized view of which insulation gaps matter most — a small gap on a high-temperature line can matter more than a larger gap on a cooler one.
Here's what that looks like in practice — what we investigate, how we assess it, and what you'd typically find:
What We Inspect
Piping, vessels, and equipment across the plant for damaged, missing, or under-specified thermal insulation.
What We Find
Every bare or degraded patch of insulation, and the continuous fuel-cost impact it's quietly creating.
How It Helps
Insulation investment goes exactly where it recovers its cost fastest.
Our Advantage
Findings are prioritized by payback period, not just by the size of the gap.
A bare patch of pipe doesn't look like money leaving the building — but it is, every hour of every day, running quietly in the background of a plant's energy bill long after the insulation that once covered it has been removed for a repair and never replaced.
Damaged, missing, or under-specified insulation on hot piping and vessels is a continuous, hidden energy loss. Our insulation survey maps heat loss across the plant and quantifies the fuel-cost impact of each gap, turning what would otherwise be an invisible, distributed loss into a concrete list of locations and numbers.
Recommendations are prioritized by payback period, so insulation investment goes where it recovers cost fastest — a small gap on a high-temperature line can often justify repair faster than a larger gap on a cooler one, and the survey is built to surface exactly that kind of practical distinction.
Recommended Next Step
Findings on where insulation is damaged, missing, or under-specified, quantified by fuel-cost impact and prioritized by payback period — information you can use to decide the next step.

Insulation Survey — Frequently Asked Questions
What is an insulation survey?
An insulation survey maps heat loss across a plant's piping, vessels, and equipment, identifying damaged, missing, or under-specified thermal insulation and quantifying the fuel-cost impact of each gap.
How does thermal insulation affect industrial energy efficiency?
A bare or degraded patch of insulated pipe is a continuous, hidden energy loss that runs every hour of every day, even though it isn't visually obvious.
How is an insulation survey performed?
Engineers inspect piping, vessels, and equipment across the plant for insulation gaps and quantify the fuel-cost impact of each one found.
Which industries use this service?
Insulation surveys are used wherever hot piping and vessels are common, including refineries, power generation, and steam-intensive process industries.
What information does the customer receive?
Recommendations are prioritized by payback period, so insulation investment goes where it recovers its cost fastest.
