RAUTITAN chosen for luxury Edinburgh apartment development
Consultant engineering firm Blackwood Partnership Ltd, were tasked with designing and specifying a development in Edinburgh and needed every aspect of the building to be of the highest quality to match the exacting standards of the apartments’ purchasers. Added to this, all contractors involved along with the developer,AMANewtown Ltd, had to finish the ambitious development within the allotted time schedule. Made up of 15 high-specification luxury apartments and located in a prestigious area surrounded by green spaces,The Pavilion on Kinnear Road in Edinburgh is the latest impressive development fromrenowned developer and was completed in January 2020. In this development the components under the surface, such as heating and water supply systems, had to be just as high specification as the visible aspects.With this in mind Blackwood specified a high quality multilayer composite pipe (MCLP) frompolymer plumbing solutions specialists REHAUto be installed byM&EContractors Platinum (Plumbing Scotland) Ltd.
Detailed design for the highest specification
Throughout the year and a half long design process, Blackwood specified every aspect of the complex downto the fine details,working closely with thehomeowners to create their
dreamapartment.The bespoke element of the design process didn’t comewithout its challenges; however, it did ensure the satisfaction of purchasers that theirnewhomewould be exactly to their requirements and high standards. “The detailed design started back in summer 2017 and finished in December 2018,”said AlvaroMarin, Project Engineer at Blackwood Partnership Ltd.“The properties themselveswere being sold throughout the design stage so the purchasers could be involved in design of their apartment, providing a bespoke aspect of the finish of these apartments.

“The specification of the kitchens and the bathrooms only came through to us about halfway through the design
process.This was quite a challenge becausewe had to design the services around these individual kitchen and bathroomdesigns for each residence in the development. The time-consuming nature of this process meant individual units and fixtures had to be fitted whilst still accessing valves and risers during the construction process, aswell as for future
maintenance.To complete the project within the timeframe, a solution that could quickly overcomethese challenges with little disturbance to the design or end result of the developmentwas required.
