Premier finishes insulation work at Yankee Stadium

According to the Insulation Contractors Association of New York City, Inc. (ICA), member contractor, Premier Insulation Services, Inc., has completed insulation work on three different levels of Yankee Stadium. The crew worked 12-hour shifts for 12 days to complete the project, which had a two week time-frame. Premier finished the job one day ahead of schedule.

Some other work that was completed by Premier were the irrigation water lines, eight inch thru 16" domestic water pipes, fittings and valves Premier also worked on other various locations throughout the entire Stadium that came up as punch list items.
