Case Studies
Smoother Ride on The New Tube for London with Armacell Rail Insulation
As part of The New Tube for London project, trains, stations and tracks of the London Underground Network are being modernised to increase each line’s capacity and passenger comfort. That’s why our distributor of Armaflex Rail SD insulation materials in the UK, CB Frost, was specified on the project. CB Frost has had a strong partnership with Armacell UK since 2018. Supplying Armacell’s Rail technology to be used on The New Tube, CB Frost guaranteed that the strict material specifications of project would be met.
The Gold Standard of Pipe Lagging
In the summer of 2022, Installer Alan Marcon of Green and Reliable Plumbing and Heating used Armacell's toolbox to install an out-of-the-box insulation at a private mansion in Harrogate. In his own words, the project he created was "The gold standard of pipe lagging. I wanted this new client to have the best from ArmaFlex, but with an added top layer of thermalite gold insulation. The client was so happy, he invited his neighbours round to show off. His neighbour now wants me to help save them more energy, as they’re using too much oil.”

The new neighbourhood is one of the last remaining sites for a new town to be developed within London.
ArmaFlex and Arma-Chek supplied on the Halley VI Antarctic Research Station
The Halley Research Station, run by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is built on the Brunt Ice Shelf floating on the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. With snow, ice, gale-force winds and temperatures at -55 °C – conditions can hardly get tougher. A crack along the ice-shelf meant the station had to be moved 23 km across the ice and as part of the re-location new pipework is being insulated with ArmaFlex and Arma-Chek to prevent pipes from freezing.
