Diamond Controls Supports TICA in Training Future Professionals
Trace Heating Supplies, part of the Diamond Controls group, is proud to collaborate with the Thermal Insulation Contractors Association (TICA) to support the development of future industry professionals.
To support TICA’s training initiatives, Trace Heating Supplies installed a self-regulating trace heating system on a training rig at TICA’s headquarters. This setup offers trainees hands-on experience with trace heating technology, helping them understand its applications and management within their training programmes.
As part of this effort, Paul Davis, Senior Estimator & Project Manager at Diamond Controls, provided practical training to TICA’s team. This ensures that instructors gain a solid grasp of the system, enabling them to effectively train apprentices. “We’re excited about the impact of this partnership and look forward to supporting TICA in promoting energy efficiency and sustainability,” said Paul Davis.
He further emphasized, “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 in-depth expertise, Trace Heating Supplies also offers specialized training covering project specifications and installation techniques.
The installation at TICA HQ features high-quality RAYCHEM equipment, including:
- XL Trace self-regulating heating cable for frost protection
- RAYCLICs for easy on-site cable connections
- AT-TS-14 13 thermostat for temperature monitoring
Beyond training, Trace Heating Supplies supports clients with system design, installation, commissioning, and servicing. This collaboration provides insulation contractors with an opportunity to expand their services by incorporating trace heating solutions, enhancing both energy efficiency and system performance.
