Consonni Strade industrial building

The new Consonni Strade industrial building in Arosio, Italy, is an area ideal for the application of the Fonterra Industry system – a surface heating and cooling system designed for industrial buildings where the floors are subjected to heavy loads.

Surface tempering for special demands  

Facades clad in natural stone and full height glazing, punctuated by visual cement columns are characteristic of the Consonni Strade industrial building. The building in Arosio, Italy, is the ideal application of Viega Fonterra Industry. The surface tempering system is designed for industrial buildings where the floors are subjected to heavy loads. In addition to a surface area of 220 m2 fitted with Fonterra Industry and accessible to heavy industrial vehicles, the building has an elevated office area and a basement warehouse, both fitted with Fonterra Base surface tempering systems.

Fonterra Industry: high load resistance

Fonterra Industry is designed for thick cement blocks used in floors subjected to heavy static or moving loads up to 5 kN/m2. For laying out the pipework, Fonterra Industry combines two solutions: in order to overcome the large straight distances, a large grooved pipe rail has been used, which can be applied directly onto the insulation layer. To lay out the curves, the pipework, in this case version PE-Xc 20x2.0 mm, is fixed with clips by means of an intuitive-use tool.

Given the construction specifications of the building, the pipework is laid on 30 mm thick EPS insulation sheeting supplied as 1x0.5 m tiles. A humidity barrier, in the form of polyethylene sheeting, has also been applied. The Fonterra Industry system is connected to an industrial pipe manifold with 11 connections.

Office and warehouse premises: Fonterra Base 30-2

In the offices as well as in the basement warehouse, both of which have a standard floor loading, the Fonterra Base 30-2 surface tempering system with studded panels has been used. Polybutene pipework with a diameter of 15 mm, connected to a manifold with 12 connections, has been selected for both floors, with dimensions of 120 and 140 m2 respectively.
