The Right System for Every Part of the Job.
Project: CEC Repair and Materials Facility
Location: Christchurch
System: Mayer Stainless Steel, Aquatherm Green and Blue PP-R, Mayer PEX-a Sliding Sleeve and Cofix
Application: Potable hot and cold water, chilled water systems
Hydraulic Design: GHD
Installer: DBC Building Services
On projects like this, every system has a job to do.
The new Christchurch Engine Centre Repair and Materials Facility brings together multiple USCO piping systems across its hot water, cold water, rainwater recovery and in-wall water services.
Rather than relying on one material throughout, each system was selected around the needs of the application.
The Challenge
A specialist Aeronautical repair and materials facility includes a wide range of building services, each with different performance and installation requirements.
The project needed piping systems suited to hot water reticulation, cold water distribution, rainwater recovery and flexible in-wall services. The complete installation also needed reliable pipe support across the facility.
The challenge was to bring those systems together in a way that remained straightforward to install and dependable over the long term.

The Solution
Working alongside the project team, USCO supplied a combination of systems selected for the role each needed to perform:
Mayer Stainless Steel for the hot water system
Aquatherm Green PP-R Piping System for cold water
Aquatherm Blue PP-R Piping System for rainwater recovery
Mayer PEX-a Sliding Sleeve Piping System for in-wall run-outs
Cofix pipe clips for secure system support.
The stainless steel system provided a robust solution for hot water services. Aquatherm PP-R offered corrosion-free performance across the cold water and recovered rainwater systems, while Mayer PEX-a provided the flexibility required for in-wall distribution.

The Outcome
Fit-for-purpose piping systems across each water service
A coordinated combination of stainless steel, PP-R and PEX-a
Flexible and efficient in-wall installation
Corrosion-free cold water and rainwater recovery systems
Reliable pipe support using Cofix clips
One coordinated supply and support approach across the complete system
A strong project is not always built around one product. Sometimes, the better outcome comes from understanding what each part of the installation needs to do and selecting the right system for the job.
