VIEGA RECEIVES SEAL
OF APPROVAL FROM
WATES GROUP
Viega has been awarded Wates Approved
Innovation Partner status for its
Megapress press connection technology.
The first initiative of its kind, the Wates
Innovation Network (WIN) portal is an
intelligent and interactive marketplace
for advanced technologies, created by the Wates Group to help businesses ‘build
back better’. By connecting companies and suppliers directly, it aims to create a
network of innovative providers that can accelerate the transition to net zero, by
showcasing smarter solutions for building design and construction.
In order to achieve Approved Product status, Viega’s Megapress technology
underwent a vigorous approval process, which included pitching the solution’s
benefits to a panel of Wates ‘Green Judges’. The scoring criteria focused on
reliability, credibility, compliance, return on investment, impact on building
users, scalability, savings and maintenance, with Megapress performing well
across all of the key metrics.
Viega’s Megapress press connection technology has been specifically designed
to connect thick-walled steel pipes, in diameters of 3/8 to 4 inches. Cold press
technology holds a number of sustainable and practical advantages over
comparable hot works methods, such as welding, which can pose a number of
health and safety concerns to the installer, building users, and owners.
Another key advantage of Megapress, is the speed and reliability of installation
that it o ers. When compared with welding, installations that use Megapress
technology can be completed up to 80% faster, resulting in significant financial
savings.

NEW MODULAR RETRACTABLE BARRIER SYSTEM
LAUNCHED BY SETON
A new retractable barrier system, named EasyExtend, has been launched into
the market, o ering unique features and benefits for use in industrial and
outdoor spaces.
Developed by the health and safety solutions provider Seton, the new and
rugged unit is designed to cordon o areas in warehouses, factories, distribution
centres and construction
sites.
EasyExtend can span 10
metres meaning a more
e icient use of resources. It
can be used with standard
tra ic cones, with its
dedicated post and base
system, or can be fixed
directly onto walls or other
surfaces.
The barrier can be used in three di erent ways. The modular post and base
system gives the choice of using single or dual-level tapes, allowing the user to
create a more imposing boundary if they choose to.
Once erected, the base portion features an integrated weight for stability. For
extra sturdiness the user can tfill the base with an extra 12 litres of water or sand.
An adapter can also fix the tape cassette, or clip tape ends, to the top of any
standard tra ic cone. This lets cones be used in place of posts, if needed.
The same barrier can cordon between fixed objects or walls, rather than
needing the posts.
The EasyExtend also uniquely stores all the components of the barrier inside
the base.
