With over one million square feet of insulated metal panels (IMP) 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, use our IMP Installation Services to 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 for IMPs, reducing long-term HVAC costs.

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

  • Durability – IMP construction consists of rigid steel skins and foam cores resist corrosion, impacts, and moisture.

  • Speed of Construction – Prefabricated and modular, IMP panels reduce AHJ inspections, accelerate project schedules and reduce labor costs.

  • Financial Benefits – Benefit from accelerated depreciation on your project designating IMP project costs as equipment. (Discuss details with your financial folks, of course!)

Our Nationwide IMP Install Process

TCG has refined a repeatable, scalable process for IMP Supply and Installation 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 – Engage the right Structural Engineer to produce load calculations, design, shop drawings to align structural tolerances, attachments, and sequencing.

  4. Precision Installation – TCGs expertly-trained Nationwide IMP Installation teams deliver installations efficiently with great attention to detail.

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