Aquatechnik safety fittings and fiber-reinforced pipes for Esselunga: quality meeting
Esselunga has also chosen Aquatechnik! In the store
located in Montecatini, safety systems were used for the distribution to services and
the FIBER-T/FIBER-COND faser pipes,
with our custom-made manifolds, for the technical rooms and risers.
Esselunga certainly needs no introduction: among the
main Italian chains in the large-scale distribution sector, it has over 160
superstores and supermarkets, in a history of success and growth that began in
1957. Esselunga stores are characterized by a company philosophy based on the offer
of value and quality. The details make the difference in the commercial
proposals aimed at Esselunga customers, but not only! The design choices of the
stores are also fundamental to guarantee comfort and energy efficiency.
Quality design choices for efficiency and speed of
installation
For the distribution to services systems, multi-calor
pipes with safety system were used while, for the technical rooms and risers,
the design choices fell on FIBER-T and FIBER-COND faser pipes. In addition, the
specific needs of the construction site have provided the use of custom-made
manifolds.
All the material was provided by TUBIPLAST S.r.l. ZANICA of Bergamo. The installation at the site was masterfully
performed by the company BOUYGUES S.p.a. Mr. Arnoldi Massimo, the site manager, supervised
the entire project which required multisectoral skills for the construction of
different types of plants with specific characteristics.
Safety innovation for safety and performance
Safety was born as an evolution of joining systems for
multilayer, to meet the new needs of the market. Particularly appreciated by
designers and installers for the absence of narrowing of the passage section,
the system guarantees an increased flow rate, avoiding the formation of
deposits and limestone. The junction between the pipe and the fitting takes
place by widening the heads of the pipe (Belling), made with special equipment
patented by Aquatechnik, which allows the fitting to be put on simply, quickly
and in total safety. The hydraulic seal is guaranteed by the O-rings,
while the pipe is positioned and blocked to the fitting through the cap which
eliminates any possibility of movement. These technical advantages become
effectively performing in terms of total flow, greater resistance and
durability over time as well as the cost-effectiveness guaranteed by the
processing speed and the possibility to recover the fittings.
Efficiency made to measure: Aquatechnik's on-demand manifolds
Aquatechnik is able to produce manifolds on demand,
studied and designed by our Technical Offices, to support customers in the
choice of the most suitable geometries and types of pipes. Plastic manifolds
offer various benefits compared to metal ones, including a duration of
over 50 years also determined by the absence of corrosion and the safety
guaranteed by the polyfusion joint.
The lightness and maneuverability of the polypropylene
manifolds facilitated transport, handling on site and installation. To these
advantages are added the cleanliness of the systems and the energy savings,
due to a reduced thermal conductivity value (? =
0.24 W / mK) of the polypropylene.
We thank all those who participated in this project:
like Esselunga, we try to offer the best to our partners and customers!
