The project is the eleven-storey Mary Newman Building of new student accommodation, which is part of a £31m series of University projects planned for Plymouth. Upon securing the mechanical and electrical services contract, Mitie are charged with supplying air conditioning, heating and ventilation. Mitie Engineering has installed XPress copper for the first time on site and has been particularly impressed with the heat-free jointing system the product provides. The Mary Newman Building is being converted from academic space to residential accommodation and will provide an extra 157 rooms. The University of Plymouth is a long-standing client of Mitie and as such it was essential to have the finest products installed. Richard Bell, Mitie’s Senior Engineer said, “Our relationship with Pegler Yorkshire is excellent and has developed as the project has continued. The primary reason for choosing XPress Copper was the ease of use and speed of installation the product provides and we have not been disappointed. ” Pegler Yorkshire’s Sales Engineer Grahame Morton said, “We are delighted to have supplied Mitie with XPress Copper on this project. The Mary Newman Building is part of a series of University Halls projects in Plymouth and the first to use XPress Copper, but more examples of its use are coming through all the time as the benefits of the product are realised.” For a professional installation, clients need to be confident that the product they choose will do the job and will be easy to use and Pegler Yorkshire products have always enjoyed this reputation. Richard Bell again, “This is the first time XPress Copper has been used by our installation team and we have been very impressed with the results. The fact that this is a heat free product has been a particular advantage to our engineers who have been using the product in the plant room.” Pegler Yorkshire products are renowned for their excellence and the low maintenance qualities of the portfolio is a feature relied on by many clients. While the primary concern when specifying this product is quality and speed of installation, this must go hand in hand with low maintenance and reliability and when XPress Copper is used as a system it benefits from a 30-year system guarantee. Looking to the future, Pegler Yorkshire will continue to work in partnership with high profile companies like Mitie to deliver the products they need and the service their clients deserve. With obvious benefits for professional installers, XPress Copper is one of the first choices when heat-free jointing is required. |
