It ’s the moments that stick with you : visitinga grower in a small , older , detached straw and plaster greenhouse , and doing isolating employment there . Raymond Kruijs with RKI Isolation still sees those around from fourth dimension to time , jobs where the ex - raiser , sometimes far after his pension , comes to depend at the craft with which the tube system is neatly covered and isolated . " These contacts give you vigor , while in the meantime you see special new projects which are awesome to be a part of " , recite Raymond .
unlike line of workRaymond get into the creation of isolating in 1995 , with a specialization in the greenhouse gardening - ' that ’s a different line of oeuvre , not at all the same as industrial work ' - and still visits agriculturalist every day . Since January 1 , 2008 under the name RKI Isolatie , which refers to his own name since he is a one - man business . " I finished schooling and my pa said I had to ferment , so via an employment agency I got into the horticultural closing off . I memorise the foxiness from real craftsmen . It was a hatful of handcraft , and I still profit from that . "
Bringing expertise to CanadaWith the modern new building task nowadays , too . For representative , Raymond was at a modern undertaking in Canada for 2.5 week . " I was forced to come back betimes due to Corona . It would have been possible that there would not be anymore flight of steps back to the Netherlands for the next few month . My fellowship would n’t have wish that . "
On median , he ’s two to three months a twelvemonth , four hebdomad in a row , afield . Canada was the last . " So much is being build there now , that is in no comparison to the Netherlands . For the last project I was hired because it ’s very specialist oeuvre what I do , and they do n’t have that expertness in Canada . "
Crafts skillsA plenty might be data processor - controlled nowadays , but the quondam ' crafts skill ' , that Raymond learned before he started his own business still come in ready to hand . " In old boiler rooms where everything is very minute , you need to deliver good work , too . Or when overseas some materials are missing , and you could use a fresh trick to cover the pipework up nicely . "
addition of alternative heat sourcesEarth heat project came up to , with the yr . " I ’m very active in that , too . I worked on the Trias undertaking , for instance . I work for Altisol Isolatie too .
Ten , fifteen years ago , cogeneration units were rise like crazy , and now you see the same with dry land warmth and other alternate estrus author . "
The most beautiful colour in theboiler roomThe trick of isolating stays more or less the same . " I isolate a pipe with rock- or Methedrine wool , and the sheet metal is aluminium or coloured blade . The latter you see a lot in Canada , where almost always the manifold paper is scarlet and the return tobacco pipe is blue . That gives a nice contrast in the boiler room and makes it a material optic - backstop . Canadians find that of import more than Dutch people . Dutchies require functionality , but in Canada you see the most beautiful color . That ’s nice , although the main goal always stays the same , a refined finish and good isolating . "
