Case Studies
Loweswater House, Waltham House, and Sandhurst House, Birmingham: Polypipe's solution enabled drainage replacement without displacing residents, completing the project 40% faster than average.
Millbrook Tower, Southampton: A complete drainage solution was installed without temporarily re-homing residents, showcasing Polypipe's efficient approach.

Introduction
The document discusses the replacement of a failing cast iron drainage system in Millbrook Tower, Southampton, with a modern high-density polyethylene system by Polypipe.

Drainage System Replacement
Millbrook Tower's original cast iron drainage system was rusting and causing leaks. Polypipe designed and installed a new system using Terrain FUZE, which is lighter, requires fewer joints, and uses electro-fusion welding for increased integrity. The installation was completed 40% faster than average, allowing residents to remain in their homes.

Water Management Solutions
Polypipe offers systems like Ridgistorm-XL and Permavoid Rainwater Interception System for effective water management in urban environments.

Case Study: Unite Stratford Student Accommodation
Polypipe developed a rainwater attenuation system for Unite Stratford, managing drainage during a '1 in 100' year storm event, ensuring a discharge rate of 42 l/s.

Ventilation Solutions
Polypipe provides ventilation systems including MVHR units, energy-efficient fans, and MEV systems to improve air quality and energy efficiency.

Water Supply Systems
Polypipe offers plastic plumbing systems like PolyPlumb, PolyFit, and PolySure, which are easy to install and less prone to theft compared to copper systems. The PE100 system is suitable for high-pressure water supply in high-rise buildings.

Conclusion
Polypipe provides comprehensive solutions for drainage, water management, and ventilation, focusing on efficiency, sustainability, and minimal disruption during installation.
