Industrial thermal, fire protection and cold insulation

The duration depends heavily on the scope and complexity of the project. Smaller measures such as repairs or partial insulation can often be completed within a few days, while insulating complete installations, tanks or pipework systems can take several weeks to months. At IVS we follow a clear five-step process (enquiry, analysis & consultation, planning, execution and acceptance) and give you a binding schedule after the site inspection. Even very tight deadlines are met reliably thanks to well-practised installation teams and our own prefabrication in our production halls.

IVS delivers technical insulation in eight core industries: plant engineering, the beverage industry and breweries, dairy processing, food processing (fish, meat, potatoes, industrial bakeries), fuel installations in modular construction, logistics and cold storage centres, biogas plants and the chemical industry. Historically we also handle special projects in shipbuilding (fishing trawlers and cruise ships) and in energy generation. If your industry is not listed, please get in touch anyway: the range of our work extends from industry to public buildings.

Yes. A large part of our projects is carried out while the installation stays in operation, for example refurbishments of heating plants, modernisations in food production or hygienic cold insulation in 24/7 operations. Our installation teams are trained to plan and carry out the work in such a way that downtime is avoided or limited to the necessary minimum. Safety and hygiene requirements are strictly observed and agreed with your plant management.

Technical insulation makes sense — and is frequently mandatory — wherever installations lose energy, condensation or ice forms, fire protection is required or noise emissions have to be reduced. In concrete terms that means: heating and cooling lines as well as vessels for energy saving, fire protection cladding of steel structures and penetrations, sound insulation on noisy units, and prevention of ice and condensation on cold surfaces. Legal requirements such as the German Buildings Energy Act (GEG) and occupational noise limits make professional insulation mandatory in many cases.

Costs cannot be stated as a flat rate, because they depend on the size of the installation, the insulation material, the cladding material (e.g. stainless steel V2A/V4A), accessibility, the fire protection class and time pressure. What also matters is whether the work has to be carried out during ongoing operation and which preparatory or follow-up work is involved. After a free on-site inspection and survey we prepare a detailed, transparently calculated quotation for you. That way you know exactly what investment lies ahead and which energy and follow-up costs you will save in the long run.

IVS has been owner-managed since 1984 and is now in its second generation. Four areas of technical insulation (cold, thermal, fire protection and acoustic) as well as PUR high-pressure foaming come from a single source. That saves you interfaces between several trades, coordination effort and scheduling risks. In two of our own production halls we manufacture claddings and formed parts, since 2014 also exclusively stainless steel in V2A and V4A for the food industry. Based in Malchin in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, with installation throughout Germany as well as in Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. Currently rated 5.0 stars on Google.

Four reasons our clients name again and again: HSE compliance: strict observance of all occupational safety and security guidelines on your site. Process reliability: reduced downtime thanks to durable, robust high-performance materials. Large-project experience: scalable teams of certified industrial insulators for planned shutdowns and turnarounds. Documentation: complete provision of all material certificates, data sheets and declarations of conformity.

Our insulation systems cover medium temperatures from −196 °C to +1000 °C, from cryogenic and refrigeration technology through to high-temperature installations. We specify the insulation material, insulation thickness and cladding according to the temperature range and the application.

Through precise, professional planning and execution of our insulation projects, our customers achieve considerable savings in energy costs and at the same time reduce their CO₂ emissions significantly.
