Requirement
Specialist installer Gas World Ltd needed a plumbing and drainage solution for a development in Bristol, and Wavin was asked to provide a complete solution for the project using high-quality, reliable products. The development site – Factory No. 1 in Bedminster – is a multi-million-pound project on the site of the old Wills Tobacco factory.The installer had previously worked with Wavin products, and decided to use the manufacturer’s portfolio of solutions to service the whole site.
Solution
Working alongside Wavin, Gas World opted to use Osma products throughout the apartments for the foul water drainage scheme, with Wavin’s Hep2O push-fit system being used for the plumbing needs of the residential space.
The challenge Gas World faced with the project was finding a drainage solution appropriate to for the buildings as drainage noise would need to be kept to a minimum to avoid disruption to any residents above. Wavin's Acoustic Soil low-noise drainage system was chosen as its wall thickness and density provides superior noise insulation. With the plastic solution being lighter and easier to install than traditional cast iron alternatives, it was the ideal choice for the development in Bristol.
Testimonial
"We’ve used Wavin products for years and we continue to use them because of the premium quality. The technical team at Wavin are always happy to help us, too, they provided the take offs – the design and drawings – that we needed to get work started quickly, and it helped to have that included in the package when we pitched to the client. It makes life easier to work with a brand a product you know and trust."
