Project Spotlight: Water Facility
A municipal water facility in Paincourtville needed insulation to help protect its interior environment and equipment from Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and temperature fluctuations.
The pumping facility required a durable insulation system that could provide thermal protection while also helping control air movement and moisture around the building envelope.
Project Challenge
The pumping facility needed to maintain a more controlled interior environment while reducing heat transfer through the building's walls and roofline. Because the facility is located in Louisiana's hot, humid climate, protection against condensation and moisture concerns was also an important consideration.
Thermo-Guard Solution
Thermo-Guard installed an average of 2" of closed-cell spray foam insulation throughout the designated walls and roofline. The foam was applied directly to the building surfaces to create a continuous insulated envelope that improves thermal performance and air sealing while minimizing gaps and thermal breaks.
Results
- Reduces heat transfer through the building envelope.
- Improves temperature control inside the facility.
- Helps control air infiltration and condensation around the insulated surfaces.
- Adds a durable insulation system designed to perform in Louisiana’s demanding climate.
Technical Note
Closed-cell spray foam provides approximately R-7 per inch while also functioning as an air barrier and moisture-resistant insulation. At an average 2" thickness, the installed foam provides approximately R-14 of insulation value, helping improve thermal performance in a high-humidity environment.
Quick Takeaway
Closed-cell spray foam provides durable thermal and moisture control for critical utility and industrial spaces where maintaining a more stable interior environment matters.
