Tree Tops Houghton is a residential complex in Johannesburg between the suburbs of Houghton and Rosebank. Its 131 apartments surround a central panoramic garden with a clubhouse and pool; as the name suggests, the aesthetic draws on light filtering through tree branches.

For the building's drainage the HDPE range was selected, while water distribution uses the Pexal system with BravoPress fittings.

What it shows for a Finnish project

In a residential project the potable water pipe and the fitting are chosen together. 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. 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.
