Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) Installation Services

At Terrapin Construction Group (TCG), insulated metal panel installation is one of our signature strengths. With over one million square feet of IMPs installed in 38 states coast to coast, we’ve delivered high-performance environments for clients in nearly every industry. Whether you’re building a cold storage warehouse, a pharmaceutical cleanroom, CEA Facility, or a large-scale production plant, we help you build smarter, faster, and stronger.

Why Owners and Developers Choose IMPs

Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) outperform conventional wall systems by delivering superior energy savings, durability, and compliance.

  • Thermal Performance – Up to R-8.5 per inch, reducing long-term HVAC costs.

  • Regulatory Compliance – Seamless, non-porous surfaces that meet FDA, USDA, and cGMP standards.

  • Durability – Rigid steel skins and foam cores resist corrosion, impacts, and moisture.

  • Speed of Construction – Prefabricated modular panels reduce schedule and labor costs.

Our Nationwide IMP Installation Process

TCG has refined a repeatable, scalable process for IMP delivery that ensures quality across diverse projects:

  1. Project Discovery – Define goals for energy, sanitation, and regulatory performance.

  2. Engineering & Selection – Source the right panels for your needs from leading national manufacturers.

  3. Pre-Construction Integration – Align structural tolerances, attachments, and sequencing.

  4. Precision Installation – Union-trained teams deliver airtight, compliant installations.

  5. Performance Validation – Final inspections confirm that panels meet project and regulatory requirements.

Case Study Highlights

Southeast Cold Storage Facility – 87,000 SF
In 2025, we delivered a 90,000 square foot cold storage warehouse in the Southeast, helping the client recover three weeks on the project schedule through expert sequencing and panel installation.

Midwest Food Processing Plant – 120,000 SF
In 2025, at a 120,000 square foot food production facility in the Midwest, our IMP installation enabled the client to achieve USDA and FDA certification on first inspection, while also reducing construction costs compared to conventional multi-trade wall assemblies.

Northeast Pharmaceutical Cleanroom – 65,000 SF
In 2024, for a major pharmaceutical client in the Northeast, we installed 65,000 square feet of cleanroom IMPs designed to meet cGMP and ISO cleanroom standards. Our team coordinated closely with mechanical and process trades to ensure zero schedule conflicts.

West Coast Manufacturing Facility – 114,000 SF
In 2024, at a 150,000 square foot manufacturing expansion on the West Coast, our team’s efficient IMP installation helped the owner achieve substantial energy savings through reduced HVAC loads, supporting long-term operational efficiency.
