The new residential complex close to important green areas of the city, such as the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, rises in a strategic location with access to shops, services, bars and restaurants, and improves the connection between the traditional and developing parts of the neighbourhood with a new square, cycle lanes and new roads.

Green spaces, sustainability and energy-efficient building solutions are key to the project. Many Valsir solutions were chosen: the HDPE drainage systems and Winner S flush cisterns, Pexal multilayer pipes with Pexal Brass and Bravopress fittings for water supply, and the Mixal range for the underfloor heating.

What it shows for a Finnish project

In a residential block the water supply, heating and toilet technology come from one supplier, and the fitting type is chosen by the requirement at each point. PEXAL is the PE-X/Al/PE-X composite pipe system for potable water with a 50-year service life under the defined conditions of EN ISO 21003; Pexal XL covers mains and riser lines up to Ø 110 mm. PEXAL BRASS is the Pexal composite pipe system with brass press fittings for projects that require a metal fitting; a polymer ring prevents contact between the pipe's aluminium layer and the brass. BRAVOPRESS is the PPSU press-fitting range for the composite pipe system: the fittings do not corrode and the stainless steel press sleeve gives a fast and reliable joint. MIXAL is Valsir's composite pipe system for potable water and heating distribution: multilayer PE-Xb/Al/HDPE structure, drinking-water-approved PE-Xb inner layer and thermal expansion about 8 times lower than plastic pipes. WINNER S is among the lowest in-wall cisterns on the market, from 800 mm above finished floor, with fill and flush valves certified best in class for low noise emissions (ISO EN 3822 class I at 3 and 5 bar).
