Madurodam miniature park

The Madurodam miniature park in Den Haag, the Netherlands, has benefited from the many advantages offered by Megapress from Viega.

Working quickly and cleanly with Megapress

Madurodam is a miniature park in Den Haag, the Netherlands, that shows more than 300 model replicas of famous Dutch landmarks, typical landscapes and technical achievements on a scale of 1:25. The park is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Netherlands. When contractor Unica Installatietechniek renewed and enhanced the cooling system of teaching rooms and event halls in 2015, they decided to use Viega’s Megapress system for thick-walled steel pipe.

To meet the increased demand for cooling, the decision was taken to replace the existing cooling unit with a more powerful type. The challenge facing the contractor was the pipework which partly had to be installed in fully fitted rooms with wooden floors. That is why quick and clean installation without the risk of fire was crucial.

The solution is Megapress

This was guaranteed by the cold press system Megapress for thick-walled steel pipes. Unica’s Jurgen Gerritsen explains how the system works: “A Megapress connection is simple and takes just a few steps to make.” Saw the pipe to length, deburr, remove any loose rust and dirt, position the connector, press, and that’s it! Speed was of essence as the work had to be completed in the hot summer months. “It’s great when you can work fast and not be bothered by heat from welding. The cleanness of the method is an added bonus of the press system, whereas welding always leaves contamination on the inside of the pipes which then have to be flushed out. We can now avoid all that with Megapress.”
