Job Description

The John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse at Fan Pier in Boston was a unique project that needed a special team of contractors. Our work on the project comprised of the insulation on the HVAC system. Insulation on piping, including the hot water and chilled water systems; gas and liquid systems in both refrigerated and air conditioned spaces; and tower drain and overflow piping was insulated with fiberglass in necessary thicknesses. The Ice Storage System, which produces ice off peak electricity hours and through heat exchangers provides chilled water all day, was a particular challenge. Large victaulic fittings were used which added to difficulty of this system. The ductwork on the project was insulated with heavy density FSK flexible fiberglass insulation. Much of the insulation required an aluminium or PVC jacket, which was necessary to increase durability and to ensure a long life product.
