Most important projects
Victaulic products are found on major projects around the world. Here are the most important ones:
CN Tower
CN Tower is visible from each point of Toronto and its vicinity and that is why the tower is the city’s most recognizable icon and attraction. CN Tower is 553m high and for over 25 years it had been the tallest free-standing edifice, officially listed in Guiness World Records.
Due to the versatility and reliability of Victaulic piping system solutions, with no obstacles CN Tower’s engineers could adapt the installation to the shape of the tower.
Burj Al-Arab, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
This architecturally stunning, world-renowned „7 Star” hotel posed unique design challenges at every phase of its construction. Seismic conditions and the building’s curved structure forced designers to seek innovative piping system solutions.
Using flexible Victaulic couplings allows the piping system to follow the contour of the building without the need for a larger number of fittings.
Taipei 101, Taipei, Taiwan
Taipei 101 is 509.2 m high and until 4th January 2010 it had been the tallest finished building in the world. It is the first such a high construction erected in an active seismic zone. It was essential to implement the Victaulic grooved piping systems that accommodate the strongest seismic movements.
Beijing Olympics’ National Stadium, China
The Bird’s Nest, home of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 29th Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China is an advanced and world-class stadium, symbolizing a new page in China’s construction history. Officially named National Stadium, the 100,000 seat stadium posed significant challenges to designers and contractors because of the structure’s unique design.
Beijing Olympic Committee members and contractors specified Victaulic mechanical pipe joining systems for the stadium’s HVAC system because of its ease of installation and alignment. Victaulic is also playing a vital role in protecting the stadium’s piping system from seismic activity, wind and other earth movements.
