At stand 3B121 Victaulic will highlight its strengths as a one-stop-shop solution provider for piping and flow control systems, including risers for high-rise buildings as well as prefabrication and modularisation for fast construction.
Victaulic, the US-headquartered expert in mechanical pipe joining systems, is set to exhibit its comprehensive solutions for piping and flow control systems at the Big 5 Construct Saudi exhibition in Riyadh from 26-29th February.
With Saudi Arabia experiencing a surge in construction across housing, infrastructure and tourism, Victaulic stands ready to offer seamless support throughout project lifecycles. From design and engineering with 3D modelling and BIM compatibility, through efficient product delivery and installation training, to inspection and quality control services, Victaulic ensures consistent, reliable quality within strict project deadlines and budgets.
Innovative solutions for high-rise construction
Given the notable rise in high-rise construction, particularly in Riyadh and Jeddah, Victaulic will feature its building riser solutions at stand 3B121. These solutions effectively accommodate thermal expansion and contraction while taking up as little room as possible, maximising sellable floorspace. Victaulic’s grooved system eliminates bulky flanges or threaded pipe ends, while the flexibility in alignment reduces the need for spaceconsuming elbows and fittings.
Prefabricated modules for faster installation Victaulic’s stand will also showcase a prefab skid display, highlighting how components can be prefabricated and delivered to construction sites as ready-to-install modular units. This approach accelerates the installation of pipe systems, especially in complex environments like high-rise buildings, and is highly beneficial considering the pressing timelines associated with Saudi Arabia’s current surge in construction projects.
Pipes can be pre-cut, grooved and joined with Victaulic couplings in a controlled factory environment and delivered to site in a planned sequence, optimising material handling and storage requirements. Components can also be pre-assembled into larger sections or even entire riser systems off-site, minimising the number of individual connections to be made on-site and, therefore, labour requirements and installation time.
Furthermore, prefabrication and modularisation reduce the risk of errors and rework on-site, which can lead to delays and unexpected costs.
More than a century of innovation
“Moving from welds to mechanical pipe couplings is a centuryold ‘new idea’ that brings the benefits of fast, reliable, and flexible installation to construction projects worldwide. Victaulic is excited to discuss with both current and potential new customers at Big 5 Saudi Construct how this innovation can contribute to the success of projects in Saudi Arabia, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and with high quality,” says Zeyd Ammoura, Division Manager for Middle East, Africa and Turkey at Victaulic.
