Domestic hot water requirements were covered by the installation of 2No Mikrofill ‘Extreme’ 500 litre loading cylinders. The Extreme is a hot water generator that combines the advantages of both an instantaneous hot water heater and a storage system, creating perfect harmony between a condensing boiler and a hot water cylinder. Each stainless steel
unvented loading cylinder can produce in excess of 2500 litres per hour and 845 litres in a 10 minute peak period at 60°C. In addition, a Mikrofill 1000/2 pressurisation package was installed to unvent the indirect LPHW circuits.

www.mikrofill.com Viega’s Megapress steals the show
new Rockvilla centre in Glasgow, Scotland. Specified by design consultant and engineering company Atelier Ten, the technically advanced system was an ideal solution, allowing the contractor team to quickly, easily and reliably install the thick walled steel tube heating system. The £6.5 million development

of the Rockvilla centre will be the headquarters of the National Theatre Scotland (NTS), allowing the theatre group for the first time to have its rehearsal and production activities under one roof. The Rockvilla centre required
the installation of a new heating system within the 3,700 square metre space. Having seen the Viega Megapress system used on another project, the team from Atelier Ten were impressed by its quality and reliability and as such selected the system for use at the development of the Rockvilla centre. Installed by Moffat Mechanical in just five months, the system
iega has supplied its Megapress press connection system for the
saves up to 60% of assembly time compared to traditional tube connection methods such as welding or threading. The Megapress system also provides a clean connection due to its pressing function, meaning there is no excess cutting oil, metal swarf, hemp residue or jointing compound that would be used with traditional methods. Therefore valuable time was saved as the system did not require flushing to remove any residual installation debris. The installation at the
Rockvilla centre required 500 connections of the thickwalled steel fittings ranging from 15mm to 54mm, which was easy to achieve from Viega’s comprehensive selection of fittings ranging from ½” to 2”. William Giplin, Mechanical
Project Engineer at Moffat Mechanical commented on the installation: “Having worked with the system before, we knew just how easy the Megapress would be to use. Using a single press gun, the connections can be achieved in the most confined spaces – completing a full seal in
International Air Conditioning’s Headquarters, Leeds, due to its wide operating temperature envelope which suited the capabilities of their R&D centre. It was also selected for its exceptional fire performance. BAM Construction used BIM at the design stage along with making the decision to have the industrial development as a turnkey project to help save time and resources. Kingspan Kooltherm FM Pipe Insulation was specified and is available as a BIM object from the BIMStore and from

Get the right size hot water heating unit to fit the site Rinnai
ew from Rinnai, a UK leader in continuous flow hot water heating, is a Site
Sizing Service designed to give the right amount of hot water delivery to meet existing and planned needs. The service is available over email, iPhone and site visit to give contractors and users the right mix of products and system which fit the needs of the site, rather than a 'one size fits all approach' seen with traditional hot water heating systems. "Every site is different, as all
installers know, and the tradition of oversizing a system 'just in case' is a very costly way for a site to have hot water on demand. The very basis of our product concept is that the end user only pays for the fuel to heat the hot water at the point of use. There are very few sites that might need a stored hot water facility but this is very expensive its rather like keeping a car's engine running just in case you want to drive it. It is as simple as that," says Rinnai head of Operations, Chris Goggin. He adds, "We are inviting
contractors, designers, installers, endusers and consultants to
contact us to discuss their new installations so that we can recommend the right system specific to the site. Our product can cope with virtually any size of commercial site hotels, hospitals, schools, office blocks and larger residential properties right through to Government departments such as the Welsh Office or 350 plus bed hotels. The complete, bespoke, personalised system is designed for the specific need of the site or user and we have a proven record of adding significant value to our customers.” For more information on the RINNAI product range visit
