TECHNICAL CALCULATION AND ESTIMATOR'S MAN-HOUR MANUAL

THERMAL INSULATION

• 1. THERMAL INSULATION FOR PIPING
• 2. THERMAL INSULATION OF VESSELS AND KILNS

Generally, specialized companies make calculations for insulation. This rule also applies if insulation accounts for a large portion of a project. When the scope of insulation is not so great or the bidding time is very tight, an estimator for the mechanical works should also provide the calculation elements for the insulation. That is why I worked out the manhour rates for insulation based on the manhour rates of several specialized German insulation contractors.

THERMAL INSULATION FOR PIPING Prefabrication of the insulation holders, sheet cutting, placing mineral wool, aluminium foil cladding, installation of sheets and sealing with durable elastic compound.
