“Guaranteed never again!”, says Winfried Lülfs, technical manager of the “Bauverein Rheinhausen” housing cooperative. Three very simple words for an almost one-year project, which is now facing completion: the large-scale modernisation of a seven-storey high-rise with 97 residential units from the 1960s – in a completely inhabited state.
Winfried Lülfs attributes the fact that the impact on the tenants was kept to a minimum and that the schedule did not deviate too far from the plan during the heating and sanitation installations completely to the compound system from Viega.
“While elsewhere, the famous interface problems lead to aggravating delays again and again, we were able to rely on one-hundred percent coordinated components in every respect from the building’s connecting station to the most isolated tap in the bathrooms. Above all, this was because the bathrooms were also equipped with a pre-wall system from the manufacturer. And that was good because there are enough unpleasant surprises that normally occur during the building phases in a project of this magnitude.”
