New heating network for Reaseheath College

New heating network for Reaseheath College

Reaseheath College had decided to expand and improve its teaching facilities, including adding to its accommodation for full-time students. They required a plumbing and heating network that was flexible in installation yet have expansion properties more comparable to copper. Uponor’s Multi-Layer Composite pipe, which has a unique layer of aluminium to thank for its distinctive properties was specified for the job.

Installed into first 48 of a planned 200 student accommodations. The curved nature of the building meant that the plumbing system needed to be flexible in application yet maintain minimal expansion.

Uponor's MLC pipe is recognised for being a market leader in the flexible plumbing market. The pipe possess a 100% oxygen tight construction (which prolongs the life of your pumps and other equipment sensitive to corrosion), form stable yet flexible plumbing technology (bends when you want and remains rigid when you need it to) and lastly limited expansion and smooth internal bore (allows the pipe to be used in hot and cold water, as well as heating applications without deterioration in the pipe's size or shape). The nature of the build meant that the installation was kept to an absolute minimum, with no risk of onsite hot work or material theft.
