Flexenergy’s pipe technology chosen for housing development in Glasgow

cumbersome tooling and the large coil availability were all key factors in our choice, as well as the offsite support with sizing and design. “Our on-site resources were able to collaborate with our sister civil engineering business, Deans Civil Engineering, to get the pipe installed within tight timeframes as access became available in each area. We will certainly look to utilise the same system on future projects.” Flexenergy’s is claimed to be the only pre-insulated plastic pipe in the UK that can be fully welded, securing the integrity of the network while minimising heat losses, and also uses exclusively recyclable materials.

A district heating scheme for a new housing development in Glasgow, UK, has been optimised by pre-insulated pipe supplier Flexenergy. Flexenergy supplied 500m of pre- insulated polybutylene pipe for the project, improving the thermal efficiency and minimising the thermal losses of heated water being transported to the housing development at Ibroxholm Oval. Jamie Stephen, managing director of CHAPS (GB) Ltd, the mechanical contractor for the Glasgow project, commented: “From the first point of contact with Flexenergy, then during the tender process and creating the network, we knew that this pipe technology was the correct product for this project; the pipe could be electrofusion welded, there was no
