Case Study: WHB achieves faster, safer office piping installation with Victaulic

WHB installs piping 10x faster with Victaulic in 2 months

WHB, a construction contractor with two decades of experience in north-west England, faced the challenge of installing the heating and chilled water systems for the Plot 9A First Street office complex on a compressed schedule while emphasizing safety and sustainability. They partnered with Victaulic to implement a flame-free mechanical pipe joining solution to meet these demands.

Victaulic's grooved pipe joining technology, including QuickVic couplings and fittings, enabled the rapid installation of the piping systems in just two months – a process up to ten times faster than traditional welding. This solution minimized on-site labor, eliminated hot work safety risks, and supported the project's net-zero carbon goals with products made from recycled materials. The efficiency of the Victaulic system was crucial in helping the project achieve its timeline and sustainability objectives, including an impressive 5.5-star NABERS rating.
