Polypipe Building Services joined industry leaders at this year’s Tall Buildings Summit, highlighting the growing need for more efficient approaches to specifying and installing water management systems in new high-rise building projects.

At the event, which took place in London on 9th-10th June, Polypipe Building Services showcased how modern materials and advanced water installation systems can help address some of the sector’s most pressing delivery challenges in new-build projects.

In residential high-rise projects where water systems must accommodate high occupancy rates, installing effective water management systems as efficiently as possible is key. Methods that incorporate prefabrication are increasingly being specified to ensure fast but safe installation.

Simon Russell, Sales & Marketing Director at Polypipe Building Services, said: “There is increasing recognition across the industry that the design of high-rise projects needs to balance speed of installation, safety and long-term performance to support the need for longevity but also efficient delivery. Choosing the right water management system will directly impact the overall resilience, maintainability and operational performance of buildings for decades to come. That’s why conversations around prefabrication, modern materials and smarter installation methods are becoming so important across the built environment.”
