Uponor specialist installation service is helping customers in the water and gas industries make significant cost savings.

Uponor's specialist installation service is helping customers in the water and gas industries make significant cost savings, through innovative techniques that shorten installation times and reduce disruption to road traffic.

As part of this service, Uponor is providing fully pressure tested, welded, high performing fabricated fittings that can be delivered direct to site, ready for immediate installation.

For United Utilities water mains projects in the North West, Uponor has supplied specially fabricated fittings including branch saddles that can be connected while the main is under pressure, reducing environmental impact by avoiding the need to mains flush and making a small excavation footprint.

For National Grid contractor AMEC, Uponor developed completely new pipe sizes in 225 and 268mm and appropriate fittings for replacement gas mains projects in Sheffield and Nottingham.

A comprehensive range of under-pressure connections for polyethylene pipes from 32mm to 630mm in diameter is available, all fully approved to industry and national standards.
