Profipress piping system selected for luxury apartments


Selected for its high quality, quick installation and reduced risk of leaks, Viega’s Profipress range has been installed at The Lexington apartment complex – a new high-rise residential building being constructed by luxury residential developer Moda Living, at the Princes Dock in Liverpool


L


ocated on the city’s waterfront, The Lexington will become an icon of the Liverpool skyline. Part of Liverpool Water’s £5.6 billion re-


generation project, the New York style building will include 325 luxury apartments, a sky lounge, gym and rooftop garden. Upon completion, it will become the third tallest building in Liverpool at 112.5 metres. Having previously worked with Viega on multiple


projects, the installer, Briggs & Forrester Living, specified Viega’s Profipress system for its quality


and safety features of the system. Over 17,000 Profipress copper fittings for the hot and cold water supply were installed in sizes ranging from 15 to 54mm. Given the luxury specification of the apartments, reducing the risk of any leaks that could cause damage to the building was a pre- requisite of the system design. The Profipress system features Viega’s SC-Contur technology, which is designed to deliver a 100% positive leak if the fitting is inadvertently unpressed – clearly


discernible during leakage testing or when the system is filled for the first time. This provides a reliable method of detecting any issues early in the process to avoid costly and time-consuming remedial work. “Having recently completed a successful


installation for Moda Living in which we specified Viega’s Profipress system, we found it to be a well- engineered, high-quality product. It was therefore an obvious choice to utilise the system again for this project.” said Peter Noble, regional pre- contract manager at Briggs and Forrester Living. “For luxury high-rise apartments, such as the


Lexington, it is crucial that quality and assured piping systems are used to prevent any system failures. We know from our previous experience of working with Viega’s Profipress system that it is the ideal fit for this building and for us.”
