- Reading Technical Documentation: Interpreting blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications to determine the precise requirements and scope of insulation work.
- Material Selection and Preparation: Selecting appropriate insulation materials (e.g., mineral wool, fiberglass, foam glass, calcium silicate) and preparing surfaces for application by brushing on adhesives or performing necessary cleaning.
- Measuring, Cutting, and Fitting: Accurately measuring, cutting, shaping, and fitting insulation materials around complex obstructions like valves, pumps, and manifolds using specialized hand and power tools.
- Installation: Applying and securing insulation using methods such as wiring, strapping, taping, bonding, or using industrial staples.
- Cladding/Jacketing: Installing protective outer layers, often aluminum or other sheet metal jacketing, to weatherproof the insulation and provide mechanical protection. This involves fabricating simple sheet metal parts to fit.
- Sealing and Finishing: Sealing joints and seams using tapes, mastic, or other finishing materials to create vapor barriers, prevent moisture accumulation, and ensure weatherproofing.
