On Time Insulation was approached by an existing client to design, supply, and install a pipe insulation system suitable for underground use. Pre-insulated systems do exist that advertise underground suitability, however, in reality these systems are prohibitively expensive and still involve a level of site installation. Site installation of pre-insulated systems needs to completed by a competent insulation contractor.

Their Needs
Our client required a cost effective solution with quality of design to pass engineering consultant approval. On Time Insulation has experience in design and installation of suitable underground pipe insulation systems and provided a proposal that was subsequently approved.
Our Solution
The approved system involved slight modification of a system previously approved by Lend Lease at The University of Sydney Anderson Stuart Building. This system provided an insulation R-Value of R2.0, a rigid uPVC protection layer, and an outer watertight flexible uPVC layer.
Working side by side with the plumbing contractor, components were installed outside trench in large sections. These sections were dropped in and joined. Joints and bends were insulated and clad in trench to ensure insulation fully encapsulates the pipe and the PVC layer provides an impenetrable water seal.
Installation is quick and easy, taking no more time than a pre-insulated system as our system incorporated 2 stages of installation, outside and inside of trench.
As with any project, this work is backed by our 10 year warranty. Giving our clients peace of mind they can use On Time, every time.
