Geberit Mapress' no hot works benefits allowed the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), one of the world's leading research institutions, to stay operational while a new compressed air system was installed.
Installed to match the existing copper system in the LMB's £212 million purpose-built building, Geberit Mapress was chosen to provide a neater finish where pipework was exposed.
The LMB remained functional and occupied while the new 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. As ever with Geberit Mapress, the installation went smoothly and the customer is extremely happy with the end result."
Scientists at LMB are responsible for many pioneering techniques, working to advance the understanding of biological processes at a molecular level, in order to solve key problems in human health.
The laboratory is located in the hub of one of the largest and most internationally competitive concentrations of healthcare-related talent and enterprise in Europe.
