Durapipe helps British Museum
Durapipe UK has been called upon to help keep cool record numbers of visitors attending "The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army Exhibition" at the British Museum in London.
Its durability is also reflected in its corrosion resistant properties.
Due to the large amount of heat generated by the computer systems it houses, the SuperFLO pipework system helps to keep the data centre building cool.
Andy Coles, CW Partnership, said: "We often specify Durapipe products because we know they are reliable and easy to install.
The pipes are lightweight, making them easy to handle, and the process doesn't require any hot works, which helps save a lot of time and reduces safety worries on site.
"In addition, Durapipe SuperFLO is limescale resistant and ductile at very low temperatures, which are important factors to consider for a system that will be carrying cold water constantly".
Mitchell Holmes, Marketing Manager, Durapipe UK, said: "With a 50 year design life, and the installation benefits of the pipework, Durapipe SuperFLO provides a complete package for chilled and cold water applications.".
