About
We launched MSCP Heat Management Solutions with the sole purpose of transforming the energy sector’s heat trace and insulation processes into a single heat management solution.
We continue to develop innovative, tech-based solutions that make heat management easier and more efficient for our clients.

North America’s leading heat trace and insulation product and service providers since 2011
The MSCP Difference
Our services encompass electrical heat tracing, insulation, control panel assembly, and rope access – all available in-house. Moreover, we supply all the materials required for the initial build, installation, repair and maintenance.
This eliminates the need for clients to shuffle multiple contracts, contractors, invoices, and communications.
MSCP is the only company that offers heat management materials along with the engineering and technical services to design, create, audit, maintain, and commission your heat management system.
A Unique Approach
When you choose MSCP for a heat management solution, we go beyond just providing a project quote. Our team asks all the right questions, conducts a thorough examination of how your entire system functions, and offers a comprehensive list of recommendations. These suggestions are designed to not only address your current issues but also safeguard your system for the future.
We achieve this through our distinctive interpretation of the Theory of Constraints methodology. By pinpointing bottlenecks in the system and utilizing them for substantial process improvements, we go the extra mile to assist you in reducing long-term maintenance and repair expenses.
MSCP’s Beginnings
In our first project, we tackled the transformation of heat management systems in the Alberta oil sands. This involved addressing challenges by seasonal temperature fluctuations that impact the continuous flow of natural resources. Our team responded by developing a documented, repeatable program aimed at mitigating operational disruptions caused by subpar insulation installations and heat tracing failures. Notably, this program has proven highly successful across various SAGD and upgrading facilities, with capacities ranging from 40,000 to 200,000 bpd. Despite being a young company, we were already making a significant impact—signaling the beginning of our journey.
Our Evolution
In the current historical juncture, nothing short of excellence is deemed acceptable. However, achieving excellence has been hindered by the industry’s reliance on fragmented services.
MSCP has spent the past three years investing in a new approach to significantly enhance our client service. We conducted an extensive analysis of the major challenges in providing reliable thermal management. Leading to a systemic breakthrough, this marks the first instance in our industry where heat management is provided as a cohesive solution. This step change is delivered through a whole system approach that permeates our thinking, planning, and operational management.
Guided by the quality principles of W. Edwards Deming and the Theory of Constraints, we have evolved into a distinctive single-source provider of thermal management solutions. Upholding these principles, we are dedicated to the continuous improvement of every aspect of our operations.
The key to providing comprehensive heat management solutions lies in ensuring that electricians, insulators, and engineers possess a thorough understanding of the integrated system. We established the MSCP School, a training program that integrates both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, covering all aspects of heat management. This includes engineering, installation, commissioning, communication systems, and repairs.
Innovative Product Development
Our hands-on field experience gave us insight into how our clients can get the best results for their heat management investment. We recognize their need for reduced material costs, shorter MI cable lead times, and engineering services with the lowest overall ownership cost. With these needs firmly in mind, we developed a full heat trace product line that includes mineral insulated cables, self-regulating cables, junction boxes and accessories.
We tailored our engineering services to implement these new innovative products, allowing us to provide a faster turnaround on systems design.
MSCP is committed to ongoing transformation that provides our clients with the most innovative heat management on the market today and into the future.
Investing in People
MSCP is a Canadian company that takes pride in investing not only in our people but also in our nation. We are committed to setting an example by mentoring the next generation of skilled electricians, insulators, and engineers. Our goal is to foster a workplace culture that encourages professional growth, rewards commitment, and promotes equality for every member of our expanding team.
You can always count on honesty, courtesy, and respect when interacting with a MSCP team member. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
