Commercial & Industrial
Insulation Systems

Large-scale mechanical insulation for operating industrial facilities. We work on live systems, meet production schedules, and deliver insulation that performs for decades.

Industrial Facilities Require a Different Kind of Contractor

Commercial and industrial insulation isn't just about energy efficiency — it's about process control, personnel safety, equipment protection, and regulatory compliance. The stakes are higher, the systems are more complex, and the tolerance for error is lower.

GISCO Corp has been working in industrial environments since 1985. We understand how to work on operating systems without disrupting production, how to coordinate with facility managers and maintenance teams, and how to deliver insulation that meets the technical specifications of demanding mechanical systems.

Our industrial client list includes Peerless Distillery, the University of Louisville, Winston Industries, and Jeff Boat (now Falls of the Ohio Shipbuilding). These aren't clients you earn with the cheapest bid.

Full-Scope Mechanical Insulation

Process Piping Systems

Hot and cold process lines, steam distribution, condensate return, and chemical process piping. We select the correct insulation type and thickness for each operating temperature and service condition.

Boilers & Steam Systems

Boiler insulation, steam header jacketing, and expansion joint covers. Proper insulation of steam systems can reduce energy losses by 30–50% and improve system efficiency significantly.

Chillers & Refrigeration

Cold pipe insulation, chiller barrel insulation, and condensate control. Vapor retarder selection is critical on cold systems — we get it right to prevent condensation and corrosion.

Tanks & Vessels

Storage tanks, process vessels, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels. We fabricate custom insulation covers for irregular shapes and provide aluminum jacketing for weather protection.

HVAC & Mechanical Rooms

Ductwork insulation, air handling unit insulation, and mechanical room piping. We work in occupied buildings and coordinate with facility operations to minimize disruption.

Distilleries & Breweries

Process temperature control is critical in distilling and brewing. We have direct experience with Kentucky distillery operations and understand the specific requirements of these facilities.

The Business Case for Proper Industrial Insulation

Uninsulated or poorly insulated industrial systems don't just waste energy — they create safety hazards, accelerate equipment wear, and create compliance issues.

A properly insulated steam system can reduce heat loss by 90% compared to bare pipe. On a facility running 24/7, that's a significant operating cost reduction that pays back the insulation investment quickly.

Beyond energy: insulation protects personnel from contact burns, reduces condensation-related corrosion, controls process temperatures for product quality, and reduces noise from mechanical systems.

The question isn't whether to insulate — it's whether it's done correctly.
