Polypipe Building Services has secured an order for more than 4,000 prefabricated drainage stacks to help transform an historic London site which is being redeveloped by Telford Homes.
Mechanical and electrical contractor I-MEX (M&E) selected Terrain FUZE Stax for the Alperton Bus Depot site, a mixed-use development in Brent comprising of three high-rise blocks of commercial, residential and affordable housing providing 461 homes. The development is due to be completed by June 2025.
Terrain FUZE Stax significantly reduces installation times in large-scale drainage stack projects. This is because as a prefabricated solution covering the most common configurations of kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms, it removes the time spent on repetitive cutting and welding jobs or assembling loose components.
Being available to order through distributors meant I-MEX (M&E) was able to order product and have it delivered within a month of starting work on-site.
To give the installation team complete peace of mind Polypipe Building Services was able to conduct a site visit to check the standard of the drainage product installation and produce a report for I-MEX (M&E) to present to Telford Homes. This is increasingly being requested by responsible contractors from construction product manufacturers following the implementation of the Building Safety Act.
