HIGH PERFORMANCEWASTE DRAINAGE SYSTEM
LIV YORK STREET IS THE FIRST UK PROJECT TO INSTALL UNIQUE GEBERIT SUPERTUBE STREAMLINED DRAINAGE SYSTEM…
L eading European sanitary product manufacturer Geberit was asked to provide its Supertube drainage system for the LIV Student Accommodation at York Street, Belfast. Michael Nugent Ltd proposed using the innovative system, which eliminates the need for secondary venting in the high- rise student complex.
“The drainage for LIV York Street is a heavily loaded system,” explained Geberit Area Sales Manager Lucas Vogan. “There was very little space within the built environment. It has a relatively small footprint but is spread across 13 floors. The drainage needed to be a high performance solution that offered security, safety and efficiency for such a high-use facility. “Geberit Supertube was the best option they could choose in conjunction with the Geberit Sovent fitting. This meant the mechanical contractor could reduce the diameter of the drainage pipe installed from 160mm to 110m and subsequently the duct size. This system made the need for a secondary vent completely redundant.” Patented by Geberit, the Supertube and Sovent configuration at LIV is the most innovative drainage system in the whole
of Europe - the first of its kind installed in the UK. It embraces the Geberit HDPE high-density polyethylene and DB 20 Silent drainage system. “The DB 20 Silent drainage system was installed to ensure the drainage system would not pose a noise nuisance factor.” Geberit provided on-site training for installers. “This gave the main contractor and the client peace of mind, knowing the installers were fully trained by the manufacturer,” said Lucas. “It also ensured that the end installation was poetry in motion!” Lucas is full of praise for the completed project. “This is an absolutely amazing installation that showcases our latest technology and provides a state-of-the- art drainage system for a modern, high- use student facility.”
