A refinery with insulated process lines being worked on: scaffolding, a crew cladding pipes at height

Industrial insulation services, from site visit to handover

Ten services, one company. We keep the stock in Ahmedabad and Morbi, and the people who fit it are ours too.

What our industrial insulation services cover

Funny thing, hardly anybody phones us to order 50 mm rockwool. What we actually hear is that a steam line’s too hot to walk past, the cold store pipes have been dripping since April, or the floor under some tin roof is unbearable by lunch. We start from that complaint and work back to the material, the thickness and a finish that’ll still be holding together in ten years.

We’ve been at it since 1998, and the count is past 20,000 projects now. Some of those were one line lagged over a Sunday. Others were plant-wide scopes jammed into a shutdown with crews working nights. The thing that hasn’t changed is that the same company holds the stock, writes the specification and sends the crew. A lot of mechanical insulation contractors in India subcontract at least one of those three, and that’s usually where things start slipping.

Our insulation services

Pick the service for your duty, or send the line list and we will tell you which one fits.

  • Hot insulation

    Steam lines, boilers, vessels, reactors, ESP casings and kilns, done in rockwool, glass wool or ceramic fibre with an aluminium, GI or stainless jacket on top.

  • Cold insulation

    Chilled water, brine and refrigeration lines, where we fuss over every joint in the vapour barrier because that's what keeps the pipe dry.

    Read more
  • HVAC insulation

    Duct wrap, AHU casings, chilled water headers and drain lines in offices, clean rooms and process air systems.

    Read more
  • Acoustic insulation

    DG rooms, compressor houses, blowers and enclosures, built with something heavy to block the noise and something soft to soak it up.

    Read more
  • Building insulation

    Walls, partitions, ceilings and facades in commercial and industrial buildings, picked for heat, sound and fire all at once.

    Read more
  • PEB insulation

    Roof and wall insulation for pre-engineered metal sheds, laid under the sheeting with a facing that stops the roof from dripping.

    Read more
  • Overdeck insulation

    Boards laid on top of a roof deck or terrace and covered over, so the heat never reaches the slab in the first place.

    Read more
  • Thermal insulation

    Our thermal insulation services for tanks, equipment and buildings, worked out from the operating temperature rather than guesswork.

Supply only, or supply and install

Plenty of our customers don't need our crew at all. EPC contractors and in-house maintenance teams often have their own applicators and just need the right material on site by Thursday. For them we're a supplier, working out of about 40,000 sq ft of stock split between Vatva GIDC in Ahmedabad and our Morbi warehouse. That covers 14 material groups, rockwool and nitrile through to cladding sheet, tapes and fasteners, from brands like Rockwool, Saint-Gobain, Armacell, K-Flex and Morgan.

Material supply

For EPC contractors and maintenance teams with their own applicators.

  • Rockwool, glass wool, ceramic fibre, nitrile, XLPE and more
  • Cladding, tapes, adhesives and ancillary items
  • Brand, density and thickness named on the quote

Supply and installation

When we supply and install, the spec and the rate come off the same desk. So if something fails there's no back and forth about whose layer it was. It was ours, and we fix it.

  • Site visit, line list and written specification
  • Our own crews, supervised shift by shift, including shutdowns
  • Joint measurement, photographs and warranty on closing

Specification before price. Density, thickness and finish, then a rate.

How we work, the same four steps on a single line or a plant-wide shutdown.

  1. Site visit and measurement

    Someone from our side comes out, takes the line list, sizes, areas and operating temperatures, and notes what access and shutdown limits we're dealing with.

  2. Specification and quote

    You get material, density, thickness and finish in writing, plus a rate and a start date you can actually plan around.

  3. Supply and installation

    Material goes out from our own stock and our own insulation installers fit it, with a supervisor on every shift and night work if it's a shutdown.

  4. Handover and support

    At the end we measure jointly with your engineer, hand over photos of the finished work and give you the warranty on paper.

How to choose between insulation contractors

Comparing rates is the easy bit, whether you’re talking to industrial insulation contractors for a plant or commercial insulation contractors for an office block. What’s behind the rate is where quotes really differ, so before you sign with anybody (and yes, that includes us) it’s worth asking a few blunt questions:

  • Does the quote actually say the thickness and density, or just a rate per metre?
  • Whose material is it, and will the brand and batch be visible on site?
  • Who's supervising, and are they going to be there every shift or just the first day?
  • On cold work, how exactly do they seal and check the vapour barrier joints?
  • When it's finished, who measures it, and do you both sign off on the numbers?
  • Is the warranty on paper, and does it cover anything beyond the material?

If a quote can’t answer those, there’s a reason it’s cheaper. Most of the failed insulation we get called in to redo traces straight back to one of those six.

Why plants across Gujarat give us the repeat order.

  • Our own stock in Ahmedabad and Morbi means a short delivery rarely holds up your site.
  • You get a written spec for your temperature and duty before we put a rate on anything.
  • Supply and fitting under one roof, so one person answers for the whole job.
  • Our crews have done shutdowns in refineries, power plants and pharma units, and it shows.
  • Joint measurement, photos and a warranty come with every handover, not just the big ones.
  • We're certified to ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015 and 45001:2018, and our site supervisors actually follow them.

Insulation services, questions answered.

Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp and an estimator will reply.

Do you provide insulation services outside Gujarat?

Yes. We're based in Ahmedabad and Morbi but we supply and install all over India, so if you found us looking for insulation contractors near me from another state, it's still worth a call. For bigger jobs outside Gujarat we usually send a supervisor for the site visit first and plan the crew and material from what he finds.

Can I buy insulation material without installation?

Of course, a big chunk of our business is supply only. Send over the item list or the line list and we'll quote from stock, with the brand, density and thickness spelt out on the quote.

How is insulation work measured and billed?

Pipe work normally goes by running metre, split by pipe size and thickness. Equipment, ducts and roofs go by square metre. At handover we measure together with your engineer, so the bill matches what both of you counted on site.

Do you work during plant shutdowns?

All the time, especially on hot insulation. We stage the material before the shutdown starts, roster the crew hour by hour and run nights so the scope is closed before the plant restarts.

Which certifications does SGPL hold?

Three ISO certificates, 9001:2015 on quality, 14001:2015 on environment and 45001:2018 on site safety. Copies are on our certifications page if your vendor team needs them.

How fast will I get a quote?

Get it to us before 4 pm and you'll normally hear back that same working day. The proper written quote takes a bit longer, since we need sizes and temperatures first, but a line list, a drawing or even a few phone photos usually gets us there.

Send the line list. We will send back a specification.

Sizes, temperatures and a handful of site photos on WhatsApp or through the form are enough. What you get back is a written spec and a rate, not a ballpark.
