>B< Press fittings from Conex Bänninger were selected by Thomas Hanna & Co Ltd as the pipework jointing solution for the domestic services installation on the £22m new-build Devenish College in Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh.
The new secondary school, built on a greenfield site, is a split-level design over three floors accommodating up to 800 pupils. The accommodation includes six science labs, home economics rooms, art rooms, IT suites, general teaching rooms, staff rooms, as well as toilet facilities for pupils and staff. There is also a standalone sports block comprising of a four-court multi-purpose sports hall, fitness suite, teaching and changing facilities – all with direct access to the four pitches at the lower end of the site.
M & E Contractors Thomas Hanna & Co Ltd were responsible for the entire Mechanical Installation throughout the project, with services including Underfloor Heating, Domestic Plumbing Services, Building Management Systems, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Soils & Wastes – all fed from two purpose-built plantrooms.
Conex Bänninger was procured as their preferred supplier on this project.
Company director Martin Hanna commented: “We were impressed with the quality of the >B< Press fittings which were ideally suited to the task and met with our requirements for the project.
“Using the right products for the job is vitally important. Conex Bänninger Regional Technical Sales Manager Tom Dickson visited us ‘on-site’ a couple of times to discuss the product and we were happy with the support he gave us.
“The fact that the >B< Press fittings are flame-free and provide a secure and leak-free joint was a crucial factor in using them for the pipework joints, and fitted on the domestic services for the hot, hot water return, and cold-water circuits.”
