Q1 How long will it take to install the insulation cladding?

It really depends on the tank volume. For an example, use this as a rough guide: A 45KL (10KGallon) tank - Up to 3 can be clad per day. For the larger 280KL tanks (60KGallon), it usually takes one day to clad each tank.

Q2 What maintenance is required after installation?

The cladding is virtually maintenance free once installed. We normally recommend washing the cladding with soapy water every 6 months to prevent build up of weathering effects such as mould or staining. Of course, running into the tank with a forklift may require some further maintenance...

Q3 What is the expected life span of the insulation cladding?

With correct maintenance, indefinite. We are convinced that the cladding will last as long as the tank itself. Because this technology is relatively young, we don't have too much data regarding longevity. We do, however, know that the earliest installations from 1984 are still going strong today.
