VIEGA’S PRESS CONNECTION TECHNOLOGY
PROVIDES SOLUTION FOR TRAINING FACILITY
Viega has supplied its German engineered press connection technology to the
development of a new state-of-the-art
engineering centre at Coleg Menai’s
Llangefni campus. The construction
of the new facility, which will help
train the next generation of engineers
has utilised Viega’s Profipress copper
piping connections as well as the
industry first Megapress solution for
thick-walled steel tube across the hot
and cold water and heating systems.
Viega’s Profipress connections for copper pipe were used across the centre’s
domestic hot and cold water and drinking water systems. Specialist M&E
contractor AJ Field selected the Viega system in consultation with Capita who
provided M&E consultancy on the project and merchant Smith Brothers Stores
Merseyside.
The SC-Contur feature was a major factor in the selection of the system.
Viega’s patented SC-Contur technology, included in press connections across
its range, is designed to deliver a 100% positive leak if the fitting is inadvertently
unpressed.
In addition to the copper pipework, thick-walled steel tube was specified
to provide enhanced durability for the new building’s heating system. Viega’s
Megapress system allows press connections to be used on thick-walled steel
and provides between a 60% and 80% time saving compared with alternatives.
A range of Megapress fittings were used during the installation of the low
pressure hot water heating system, including the latest addition, Megapress S.

HEATHROW - “WATERBLADED”
We sent Mitie samples
for a washroom trial.
They measured a drop in
water consumption from
7,000 litres per week to
2,500 litres per week. A
reduction of 65%. This
was for a washroom
of 12 basins. The taps
were non concussive
separate hot and cold
manufactured by Swan.
We are pleased to say
Waterblade is now being
rolled out to further
Washrooms.
Nigel at Waterblade
says: ‘‘Its really
straightforward, firstly,
we send you a sample to
fit (in minutes), establish
compatibility and assess.
Secondly, we provide you
with whatever product
and case study data is required to complete your business case. (A ROI of
under 6 months.)
Thirdly; Fit to all the washroom basins.’’
The Waterblade is easy to fit and WRAS approved.
