Drinking water installation for hospital in Ohio
The plumbers of Nelson Stark used Viega’s Profipress and Sanpress Inox systems (both US standard) to install the drinking water system of Mercy Health West Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The Nelson Stark Company, founded in 1940 as Stark Plumbing, specializes in commercial and industrial plumbing. The company is known for using innovative technologies and has a reputation for completing projects on or ahead of schedule.
Nelson Stark plumbers worked side-by-side with other utility installers in a warehouse near the construction site, mapping out the materials for the utilities in each hospital corridor on large racks. The pre-fabricated racks were then transported to the site and installed. Nelson Stark had two plumbers pre-fabricating and 60 plumbers on site in the individual rooms and public restrooms at the new 250-bed medical facility.
Stainless steel and copper press systems
Overall, more than 3,800 feet of large-diameter 316 stainless steel pipe and approximately 900 Viega Sanpress Inox fittings as well as approximately 7,500 Viega Profipress fittings were installed.
“We’ve installed thousands of Viega Profipress and Sanpress Inox fittings and we’ve had a really good experience,” said Todd Elliot, Project Executive at Nelson Stark. “We also appreciate the huge safety advantage that the Viega systems provide. There are no risks of fire when using press technology.”
