Medical University of Wroclaw

The new Pharmacy complex of the Medial University of Wroclaw, Poland, has six floors and 900 rooms. The total usable floor space of all buildings is about 12,600 m².

On schedule with Viega press technology

The Integrated Education and Innovation Centre of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the Medical University of Wroclaw, Poland, consists of six floors and 900 rooms. The total usable floor space of all buildings with investment costs of more than 38 million euros is about 12,600 m². The new complex’s water and heating installation were realised using Viega press systems.

Fast-paced work

The key selection criterion for the installation solutions was time. The contractor had only three months to complete the project, and the use of Viega’s press connecting technology made it far easier to meet the deadline.

The entire drinking water system was fitted out using the Sanpress system. Gunmetal connectors with the full range of diameters from 15 to 108 mm were used together with a total of 7,500 metres of stainless steel pipes. Viega press connectors made of gunmetal ensure prolonged trouble-free operation, and installation times are up to 50% shorter than with soldering or welding. In addition, the SC-Contur of each connector allows immediate detection of joints that have inadvertently left unpressed by means of a leak test.

Cost-effective solution for the heating installation

Prestabo, the proven and cost-effective Viega system of pipes and fittings made of galvanized steel, was used for the heating installation. Here too, components with diameters ranging from 15 to 108 mm were used in combination with over 20,000 metres of pipes. Given the sheer size of the installation, an important factor was the attractive overall price of the Viega system thanks to shortened installation times made possible by press connecting technology.
