Project Overview：
This project is located at a core industrial park in Eastern Africa, covering the fireproof and thermal insulation construction of the park’s process pipelines, high-temperature steam pipelines and other piping systems, with the total pipeline length reaching about 5,000 meters. It serves the production and operation of multiple business types such as chemical engineering and manufacturing in the park. Situated in a tropical savanna climate zone, the project site features high temperatures, abundant rainfall and large temperature differences between day and night. Moreover, the park imposes stringent requirements on the fire safety, thermal insulation and energy efficiency, as well as weather resistance of industrial facilities. It is a key industrial supporting project in the local area.
Project Materials Introduction
Rock wool pipes are adopted as the core main material for pipeline thermal insulation in this project. Due to the high-temperature and high-humidity climatic characteristics in local Africa, industrial pipelines are prone to condensation and excessive heat loss caused by temperature differences. In addition, the dense production layout of the industrial park sets high demands for fire resistance rating. Rock wool materials, however, boast the properties of A1-grade non-combustibility, excellent thermal insulation performance, strong weather resistance and adaptability to the working conditions of high-temperature pipelines. They can effectively reduce pipeline heat loss, prevent fire risks and adapt to the complex local construction and service environment, making them the optimal choice for industrial pipeline thermal insulation.
Project Implementation and Execution
1. As a rock wool material supplier, we conduct an in-depth investigation into the project’s working conditions and requirements for material specifications, fire resistance and delivery cycles, supply goods in a rational manner, and provide customers with auxiliary parts and tools matched for the materials.
2. We stock up goods in accordance with the project schedule, exercise strict control over product quality, formulate a phased logistics distribution plan with proper packaging and protection measures, cooperate with on-site acceptance, keep the customer updated on the supply progress in real time, and respond promptly to such demands as emergency replenishment and minor specification adjustments.
3. We provide on-site construction technical guidance as required, establish a rapid after-sales response mechanism to address product and application-related problems, complete the final payment settlement and project filing, and further deepen long-term cooperation.
Project Difficulties and Solutions
Affected by the local high-temperature and rainy weather, rock wool is prone to moisture absorption during construction, which impairs the thermal insulation effect. In addition, outdoor construction is greatly disturbed by weather conditions.
Faced with such extreme weather and special circumstances, the Chinese technical person in charge stated that immediate rectification measures must be taken in the park. A rainproof and moisture-proof material storage warehouse was built in the park, where rock wool materials are taken for use on demand to avoid open-air stacking; outdoor construction is carried out intensively in fine weather, with emergency facilities such as rainproof tarpaulins provided; after the completion of construction, the sealing and outer-layer protection of rock wool pipes are completed immediately, blocking the contact of water vapor in the entire process from storage to construction.
Our company has accumulated rich cases and experience in rock wool material projects across various regions in Africa, including the curtain wall thermal insulation and fireproof project for the new headquarters building of a bank in North Africa, the industrial thermal insulation project for oilfield refining and pipeline systems in Central Africa, and the high-temperature equipment thermal insulation project for a power station in South Africa, to name but a few.
In summary, our company is capable of providing comprehensive solutions for rock wool thermal insulation materials to meet the diverse needs of different customers. For inquiries, please contact us via the contact information provided by our company.
