Welcome to the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators & Allied Workers, Local No. 118 Health and Wellness Trust Fund and Heat and Frost Local Union 118 Pension Plan.
What are Heat and Frost Insulators?
The primary work of the trade involves the application of various insulating materials to hot and cold surfaces. Heat and Frost Insulators cover exposed surfaces of pipes, steam generators, ducts, process vats and related equipment using a variety of insulating materials to reduce loss or absorption of heat, prevent moisture condensation and deaden sound. Insulation work is generally associated with larger industrial or commercial projects such as power plants, chemical plants, nuclear power houses, heavy manufacturing or processing installations including refrigeration. Smaller commercial work includes plumbing, heating and air conditioning insulation on such buildings as schools, churches, apartments, shopping centres, hospitals and “tunnel” or “ditch” work. In BC the 300 active members of Local 118 of the International Association of Heat and Frost Insulators & Allied Workers work around the province at refineries, pulp mills, gas plants, ice rinks, hospitals, commercial outlets and, also on boats and high rises.
A Health and Wellness Plan and a Pension Plan have been arranged by the respective Board of Trustees and administered by D.A. Townley.
