Noise is a common problem among piping systems. Wavin's SiTech+ provided Melia Hotels International's Ho Tram Hotel contractors with acoustic-imaging tools that help to measure the amount of noise the pipes would make. This helps them to accurately install Wavin SiTech+ with the least noise possible.

 Its entire wastewater discharge system uses Wavin Sitech+ and is installed in all its 156 rooms with its collection point at the basement level. Wavin SiTech+ guarantees efficient and noiseless wastewater management. The thick, ribbed pipe material handles high and turbulent amounts of sewage with minimal vibration thanks to its density. This eases the noise of running water so that guests can enjoy a more comfortable and peaceful sleep at night.

Wavin SiTech+ mineral reinforced polypropylene (PP) material is also much faster and easier to install and handle on side than PVC material. With minimal extra equipment needed to install the water system, Melia's construction contractors improved the water system's construction at a significant rate. 

On 11^th July 2018, Smartpipe (SPT) completed their pilot testing of Wavin Compact Pipe in Malaysia. More than 30 managers and engineers from Air Selangor, a water authority, witnessed how easy it was to use Wavin pipes in pulling a d250mm pipe for 210 metres to rehabilitate an existing and aging DN250 AC water main pipe in the city area. Once the restoration was completed, a steaming process commenced successfully.

The success of Wavin Compact Pipe’s pilot testing has prompted another demonstration in Penang, Malaysia that will happen in September – October 2018. Over 15 water companies and related authorities will be invited to participate in this upcoming event.

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.

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. 



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.

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. 

Tigris K1's efficient technology has greatly helped accelerate the development of the Watercove project and increased productivity to meet its tight deadline.
