This major project was to be finished by 2018 and its contractors needed to find a solution that would help speed up development to meet its tight deadlines in the face of labour shortage. Wavin’s Tigris K1 was the chosen solution as its press-fit technology allowed contractors to install the entire potable and heated water system 40% faster by doing away with welding joints and fusion in exchange for secure and reliable joint crimping even for huge pipe sizes such as 63mm and 75mm pipes.   ![](https://blog.wavin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wavin-tigris.jpg?width=1188&height=792&name=wavin-tigris.jpg) The project is currently underway and plumbing work is slated to finish before 2018. The Tigris K1 system is proving a powerful and efficient tool thus far in this project. The multi-layer piping system for potable and heating water systems has given the contractors enough variety to use for the different waterways into the properties. With multiple sizes ranging from 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, and 50mm, contractors could maximize their system's flow using the best fit.  ![](https://blog.wavin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wavin-tigris-2.jpg?width=1429&height=1905&name=wavin-tigris-2.jpg) It is made from high-quality polyphenyl sulphone and stainless steel sleeves for multi-connection joints and couplers, making it a durable and corrosion-resistant compared to copper & PPR piping. Installation was made quick and easy as contractors only needed to simply cut the pipe, de-burr the edges for a smooth finish and slide in the fitting, using the hexagonal ring as a guide for a minimum-effort installation. ![](https://blog.wavin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wavin-tigris-3.jpg?width=1429&height=1905&name=wavin-tigris-3.jpg) The entire piping system does not require any heating element to fuse the joints and connections together. It does away with welding equipment and maintains the working area's temperature, effectively reducing the risk of employee hazards.  ![](https://blog.wavin.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wavin-tigris-4.jpg?width=1430&height=1073&name=wavin-tigris-4.jpg) Tigris K1's efficient technology has greatly helped accelerate the development of the Watercove project and increased productivity to meet its tight deadline.      #### Share this page  ## Our solutions [![Wavin Drinking Water Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Hand%20holding%20a%20glass%20that%20is%20being%20filled%20with%20drinking%20water_1024x1024px_E_NR-18865%20copy.jpg) ### Drinking water Delivering clean water efficiently and safely has become a world-wide problem. Water is lost due to leakages and ageing networks. We need to improve the distribution of clean drinking water from source to tap. We will work towards these goals by raising the quality and performance of high-pressure water distribution networks, improving safety levels of indoor drinking water supply, and building towards a new (smarter) ways of managing drinking water. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-drinking-water) [![Wavin solutions for heating and cooling](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Gulvvarme_overgansperiode%20copy.jpg) ### Heating & Cooling People require increased comfort and well-being in the places they live and work. We need to design, build and use comfortable living environments in the most efficient and sustainable way. With the Wavin Indoor Climate solutions we aim to make a positive contribution in many different ways. We contribute to lowering energy usage when heating or cooling our homes, offices, hospitals, and more. Clean and fresh air has so many health and wellbeing benefits. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-heating-cooling) [![Wavin Solutions for Rainwater](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Rainwater%20on%20ground%20_1280x857px_E_NR-2564.jpg) ### Rainwater Climate change with massive rainfall, extreme heats and droughts put pressure on cities. Growing populations increasingly ask for greener living space. We need to (re)act to climate change and build livable and loveable cities. We will work towards these goals by creating integrated rainwater management solutions, countering the risk of flooded streets, avoid urban heat stress, and support greenification of cities. Our Wavin solutions already contribute. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-rainwater) [![Wavin Sewer Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Denmark/DK%20-%20blog/Wavin%20kloak%20br%C3%B8nd.jpg) ### Sewer Millions of people have no or limited access to sanitation facilities. Simultaneously, ageing and poorly designed sewer systems contaminate groundwater resources. We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone. We will work towards these goals by building sewer systems with modern technology, preventing leakages, corrosion and clogging of sewer systems, and boosting renewal of sewer infrastructure. ](https://www.wavin.com/en-en/solutions/solutions-for-sewer) [![Wavin Waste Water Solutions](https://blog.wavin.com/hubfs/Czechia/Blog-migrace/AS%20plus%20Wavin%20NL.jpg) ### Waste Water We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone. Although drainage pipes may sound like a simple form of construction, there are many considerations behind a good and solid drainage system in buildings. We offer a range of market-leading and BIM-supported waste-water solutions incl. low-noise.
