RAAC issues impact beyond building structure

RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) issues have been the height of news recently. RAAC was used in the construction of some public buildings between the 1950s and 1990s.

Recently, more than 140 schools containing this cheap concrete that can collapse without warning were told to close. Universities, theatres, and other government and privately owned buildings are affected too.

Unfortunately, this means that other areas of the buildings will be affected, like plumbing and heating.

These buildings with RAAC issues are over 30 years old and the heating solutions used then were efficient, but outdated compared to today’s advancements.

Today we can make them more energy efficient, and offer alternative solutions like cooling and underfloor heating. This could lower running costs for schools and other buildings in the future.

Multipipe offers top-quality heating and plumbing solutions, backed by high-grade materials, innovative research, and a patented production process. This ensures project safety and longevity, making it a reliable choice for school and construction partnerships. And, our MLCP system has been tested to have a design life of over 50 years.

We’ve been supplying reliable MLCP for both domestic and commercial installations for over 20 years. So you can be confident that it will continue to do the job day in and day out for years to come.

Our system is not only fast, efficient, safe, and secure, but we also offer complete project and installation advisory support, including system design and training.

At Multipipe, we care passionately about raising UK plumbers’ operational standards and our societies’ perception of the trade. We’re here to support you.
