Mechanical Insulation Roles and Responsibilities
Following are typical roles and responsibilities needed to achieve successful projects with respect to mechanical insulation objectives. These roles and responsibilities will vary somewhat by project and jurisdiction, and are not intended to replace roles and responsibilities that are required through regulation; rather they are intended to highlight the elements generally needed for good mechanical insulation practice throughout all phases of a project.
