Eco Insulate Ltd has secured insulation work at two schools in Orkney.

The work follows on from a successful pilot project completed for Orkney Islands Council (OIC) three years ago.

Following a formal tender process, the latest work will see Eco Insulate carry out spray foam insulation work at Papdale Primary School and Stromness Academy. The firm will work alongside the main contractor, but application of the foam insulation will be started ahead of the main contract, thereby taking advantage of local school holidays.

However, the scope of the treatment means a majority of the work will be carried out during normal school hours when staff and pupils are present.

The work will see the underfloor areas of the school sprayed with BASF Enertite. The open cell foam will be applied to depths up to 100mm to provide underfloor insulation with the additional benefit of preventing heat loss through air leakage.

Colin Davidson, Surveying and Estimating Manager, commented: "The award of this contract further enhances our reputation for working under critical conditions where the needs of the client and end user are paramount to achieving what is required."
