Reliable pipework solution for major Berkeley development in Oval
As part of a close collaboration with Berkeley and Malcolm Building Services, Uponor has supplied its Uni- Pipe PLUS multilayer composite pipe (MLCP) and S-Press PLUS fittings to the Oval Village development in central London. The Uponor system was selected over copper due to its ease of installation, reliability of testing and the technical support provided by Uponor
O
val Village is a multi-phase mixed use development by Berkeley in the Oval area of Lambeth in central London. When completed,
Oval Village will provide 1,360 homes including 35% affordable homes, 2.5 acres of public realm and 170,000 sq ft of commercial space. Uponor Uni-Pipe PLUS multilayer composite pipe
(MLCP) and S-Press PLUS press fittings have been used extensively in the first phase of the residential development, known as Phoenix Court. The versatile Uponor MLCP has been used for all the domestic hot and cold water supply and heating pipework installed in the apartments. The Uponor MLCP and press fittings were also integrated into the off-site
constructed modular bathroom pods that the project utilises. MLCP is constructed from an aluminium core with internal and external layers of polyethylene. This construction gives the pipework strength and durability as well as flexibility. Uponor Uni-Pipe PLUS MLCP is available in coils of up to 500 metres, making it highly suitable for large-scale projects. During the planning stages of the project, the
Berkeley team undertook an evaluation of the different options for the pipework, including traditional copper with press fittings and the Uponor MLCP. During this process, Uponor provided a demonstration of the product and installation process to showcase the benefits. This demonstration
combined with the successful use of Uponor MLCP on previous Berkeley projects resulted in Uni-Pipe PLUS and S-Press PLUS fittings being specified.
