Described by installer, Ross McClelland, as "the best food manufacturing facility you’re likely to see", the development will complete over a three year period.
Why Geberit?
With state-of-the-art at the core of their new food manufacturing premises, Graze chose Geberit’s easy-to-fit pipe solutions and other plumbing essentials to fulfil all of the factory’s building services, however compressed air, process water and nitrogen gas lines also used Geberit Mapress as part of the production process.
Geberit’s pipework was specified after Graze team members, Neil Thompson and Jason Low took part in a ‘pressing’ initiative, through merchants, BSS, in Reading. Armed with a set of Mapress fittings and tools, the duo never looked back thanks to the simple process of fitting Geberit’s press-fit solution together; in fact, they went on to win first place in the Geberit Challenge 2012 – a competition to find the fastest and most efficient installer.
Fitting Mapress together is like child’s play," said Ross, responsible for all plumbing installation works. "Simply cut, debur, mark insertion depth, press and join, with zero leaks – with the right training anyone can be a plumber! Using Mapress is clean, quick and tidy, with no mess, perfect for a factory as sleek as Graze’s."
Beyond Geberit Mapress, Geberit HDPE is used for all drainage on site, with Geberit’s Duofix frames used for wall-hung WCs and urinals.
"Fitting Mapress together is like child’s play."
