Synopsis of talk

Installation of insulated structures – Cold/Freezer Rooms

This presentation will be the first of two technical talks, the first session is to assist contractors and the second session is for project managers and engineers who ensure quality control, or are responsible for onsite inspections and approval of works.

The installation process is a logic sequence of events but one that is increasingly being neglected because of poor workmanship and a lack of effective onsite inspections. The presentation will cover practical examples and photos of installations, planning, site preparation, inspection of panels before installation, recessed floors and concrete works, examples with photos of incorrect installations and the effect this has on insulation and floors over a period of months or years.

Please note that your entry is muted (video and sound) for the sake of keeping the online traffic as low as possible. We will open this for discussion regarding the topic after the presentation. Feel free to ask questions in the chat section during the presentation. We will have a Q&A session at the end of the meeting to cover related questions you might have.
