One System, 19 different applications at Max Planck Florida Institute
The new Max Planck Florida Institute in Jupiter, USA, consists of a three-storey, 100,000-square-foot scientific research facility with more than 115,000 feet of plumbing, including 30,000 feet of copper joined with Viega Profipress fittings (US standard).
The Max Planck Florida Institute is the first Max Planck facility outside of Europe. In this prestigious facility Right Way Plumbing used the Profipress system for 19 different applications, which include the air conditioner condensate lines, lab air ventilation, gas ventilation, vacuum lines, temperate water returns, and hot water recirculation among others.
Profipress was "the best choice"
"Being able to use Viega Profipress in here helped us to not only achieve the schedule but beat the schedule and not have to worry about reworking stuff because of leaks," said Daniel Rourke, Senior Vice President of Right Way Plumbing.
Founded in Miami in 1931, Right Way Plumbing builds lasting relationships with customers by providing superior service at competitive prices without compromising quality.
"Viega Profipress is the cleanest system that you can install," said Jeff Wilson, Project Manager at Right Way Plumbing Company. "With a solder or welded system, we may have to flush for a week before we get to our chlorination point. With Profipress, you’re clean. It’s done immediately."
Rourke believes that Viega Profipress also was the best choice for the Max Planck project because of the sheer number of connections that had to be made in the short amount of time allotted. "We probably saved 50% of the time over other systems," Rourke said.
