Trace Heating Supplies, a part of Diamond Controls group, is proud to support the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association (TICA) in its endeavours, which plays a crucial role in developing future professionals in the industry.
To support TICA’s training and development programmes, Trace Heating Supplies installed a self-regulating trace heating system on a training rig at TICA HQ. This installation provides trainees with an invaluable opportunity to understand trace heating, its applications, and how to manage it during their courses.
As part of this initiative, Paul Davis, Senior Estimator & Project Manager at Diamond Controls, also provided hands-on training to TICA’s employees. This ensures that instructors have a solid understanding of the system, allowing them to deliver overview training to apprentices. “We are excited to see the positive impact of this partnership and to work alongside TICA toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future,” said Paul Davis.
He continued, “The installation of trace heating on a training rig at the facility is designed to enhance workforce development, ensuring that the trainee insulation contractors who attend the TICA programmes are equipped with the knowledge and awareness of how to integrate trace heating solutions effectively.”
For those seeking a deeper understanding, Trace Heating Supplies offers a dedicated training course covering project specifications and installation techniques.
The installation at TICA HQ included market leading RAYCHEM specification equipment:
- XL Trace self-regulating trace heating cable for frost protection
- RAYCLICs for easy on-site cable connections
- AT-TS-14 13 thermostat for temperature monitoring
Beyond training support, Trace Heating Supplies also assists their clients with design, installation, commissioning, and servicing of trace heating systems. This collaboration presents an excellent opportunity for insulation contractors to offer trace heating solutions as an additional service to their clients, helping them improve energy efficiency and system reliability.
