There’s no rest for the wicked
The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) was able to stay operational while a compressed air system was installed, thanks to Geberit Mapress’ no hot works benefits. Installed to match the existing copper system in the LMB's £212m purpose-built building, Geberit Mapress was chosen to provide work where pipework was exposed.
The LMB remained functional and occupied while a compressed air system was being installed, so soldering could have posed a risk to building users.
Gary Smith, from GRS Mechanical, said: "We had to match an existing compressed air installation constructed from 22mm copper braised joints. Now a fully functioning building, it was hard to get a ‘hot works permit', so Geberit Mapress was the obvious choice.”
Smith added: “As ever with Geberit Mapress, the installation went smoothly and the customer is extremely happy with the end result."
