Redesigned website
launched
New Section 104 guide
Xylem Water Solutions UK's latest line of its dewatering
pump range is the Flygt BIBO, which incorporates a number
of new features including an air valve to further aid dry running capabilities, whilst maintaining the original range of
innovative features.
It also features a "unique" closed impeller and suction
cover with Dura-Pump grooves to sweep abrasive particles
away from the impeller neck, which is enclosed within a
tough aluminium outer casing. This makes the hydraulics
at least three times as resistant to wear compared to
pumps with open impellers.
Magnetrol International, a manufacturer of level and flow
process control instrumentation, has launched its new, redesigned corporate website.
Users will enjoy the improved functionality and simplified
navigation. The streamlined product offering enables the
company to focus to a greater degree on customer's and
representative's needs.
The new site enables the company to more efficiently
promote new products and initiatives, as well as quickly
direct traffic to the content they are looking for.
Not only is its website new, so is the corporate headquarters! In august, the U.S. headquarters relocated from
Downers Grove to Aurora, Illinois. Magnetrol's headquarters move accommodates the need for increased capacity
by the company. The relocation to a new 20.530m³ facility
in the Meridian Business Campus more than doubles its
production capacity, while housing Magnetrol's headquarters operation under one roof.
Also the build will double production capacity of Magnetrol's regional headquarters for Europe, Middle East, Africa
and India markets.
Polypipe, a leading manufacturer of
plastic sustainable drainage and
water management products, has
devised a useful guide to help developers deliver Section 104 compliant
attenuation and sewer systems.
The free brochure sets out what
is expected from developers under
the proposed changes to the Floods
and Water Management Act 2010,
along with a whole host of useful
early stage design considerations The brochures sets
for generating valuable time and out the proposed
changes
cost savings.
The guide, entitled Water Management Solutions; Pipe Attenuation Solutions for Section 104
Adoption is packed with interesting case studies, key facts
to consider at the early design stage and the product benefits plastic systems bring to projects. One such system that
has been successfully used in a number of recent Section
104 compliant systems is Polypipe's Ridgistorm-XL large
diameter plastic piping system. Polypipe's team is able to
create engineered drainage solutions using Ridgistorm-XL
pipes that are fabricated under factory conditions to meet
clients exact specifications.

Enviro designed for
re-usable water supplies
Thermostat with the
personal touch
GPS PE Pipe Systems has launched Enviro-Line, a PE pipe
designed specifically for re-usable water supplies. The high
performance PE pipe is suitable for rainwater harvesting,
grey water and irrigation applications, and features the distinctive green stripe recommended by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) and the National Joint Utilities Group (NJUG).
It has been launched to help specification of sustainable
commercial and residential developments, providing a flexible and durable re-useable water infrastructure that avoids
the risk of cross contamination with potable water supplies
thanks to its black with green stripe colour coding.
Enviro-Line is supplied in a wide range of sizes to suit
any re-useable water pipe installation and provides a lightweight, corrosion-free option that is easy to install, easy to
maintain and ensures a leak-free solution.
Compatible with GPS's extensive range of electrofusion,
butt fusion and spigot fittings, Enviro-Line is supplied in
coils (up to 180mm) or sticks (up to 355mm) and available
in SDR11 (25mm to 355mm) and SDR17 (90mm-355mm),
with other SDRs being available.
Hi-Velocity UK has developed the new Nest Learning Thermostat, a personalised schedule based on a person's routines.
The system can be used for a few days and within a
week, setting the temperatures when needed automatically. With Auto-Away technology, Nest automatically turns
to an energy-efficient 'Away' temperature when it senses
no movement within the building. Nest not only enhances
comfort, but saves
on energy bills too as
the system will not be
heating or cooling the
premises unnecessarily while it is empty.
With its stylish good
looks, the real beauty
of the Nest controller
is that it will pay for
itself in the savings
made on energy bills.

TT-UK designs suction excavator for SGN
Teekay couplings used in
'Walkie Talkie' building
TT-UK has been working in conjunction with SGN to design
and deliver two bespoke TT-UK / RSP ESE 26/6 Suction
Excavators to two of SGN's operating centres in Scotland;
one in Edinburgh and the other one in Glasgow.
TT-UK / RSP supplied the ESE 26/6 Suction Excavators
that are fitted with a high speed single fan and a 4.1m
power arm. The units have a 6³ container and are also
fitted with an on board gas detection system and a safety
hand rail system to allow safe access on to the roof of the
6³ container.
Teekay pipe couplings have been used by Fitzpatick Mechanical Services as part of the drainage package at 20
Fenchurch Street − The Walkie Talkie − in London EC3.
The couplings were used for key connections on cast iron,
galvanized steel and copper pipework.
This involved joining pipework of different pipe OD sizes.
The Teekay Stepped pipe coupling was selected for its
proven reliability and excellent reputation within the industry. Teekay supplied couplings and flange adaptors that
were made bespoke for the project.
