Partnership for better human environments
Fresh ideas for the future
Our dialogue with customers has resulted in continuously developing the
way we deliver services to construction projects.
As a leading provider of radiant heating and cooling, plumbing and
infrastructure solutions we aim to bring new ideas to practice and generate
better service to every partner in the process, all the way from investors
to installers. Our support in all stages of construction – right from the very
fi rst concepts to buildings in use – contributes to the quality of the built
environment and the effi ciency of the construction process.
The sustainability of buildings is becoming more and more important to
both society and our industry as a whole. Our solutions provide the best
basis for indoor comfort combined with the most effi cient use of energy.
It is in the core of what we do.
This is why we partner with professionals: to create a better environment
in every meaning of the word.
Welcome.
Partnering with construction professionals, we provide services that you can rely on.

Performance. Quality. Effi ciency.
Uponor means solutions, services and performance
in every step of the project. With us you can be
confi dent that you are working with people passionate
about securing high performance and problem-free
construction through early involvement in the process:
with one point of contact, one point of service and one
point of support.
This is what we mean by simply more.
Let’s see how it works ...

Concept and planning
In construction projects crucial
decisions are made long before
the fi rst blueprint is drawn. During
the concept and planning phase
we support investors, developers
and construction service providers
in starting on the right course
by providing system solution
alternatives. With the provision of
preliminary estimates of investment
and running costs we create a
reliable fi nancial basis for the
project. Our services include
supporting the selection of trained
and qualifi ed designers, ensuring
high quality results. We also support
effective marketing towards the
end-users of a planned building.
" At the very beginning of the project Uponor provided us with background data on the dynamic behaviour and performance of the system and possible control strategies."
Bangkok Airport
The airport has been designed
and planned by German-American
architect Helmut Jahn and is regarded
as a masterpiece of engineering. The
main building is the 444m long and
111m wide characteristic central
concourse with its steel work roof.
Providing a comfortable indoor
climate was particularly challenging
because of the demanding climatic
conditions. Uponor underfl oor
cooling provided an effi cient
solution to this prestigious project.
Stefan Holst, Managing Partner
Transsolar Energietechnik GmbH, Munich, Germany
Design
Proceeding from concept to
construction, design has to cope
with all the details and complexity
of modern construction techniques.
In addition to specialised know-
how, effi cient computer based tools
are essential for this task. Design
professionals benefi t from our
training, design examples and
design tools for heating and cool-
ing, plumbing and infrastructure
solutions.
Partnering with Uponor gives the
customer technical support and
consultancy on their individual
project. Especially with regard to
investors, developers and construc-
tion service providers, we verify and
ensure that the design is carried out
effectively.
" Uponor’s involvement and support made it possible for us to introduce a new technical solution for integrated heating and cooling."
Hans Kragh, Project Director
Rambøll Danmark A/S, Virum, Denmark
The Copenhagen Opera House
The Copenhagen Opera House by architect Henning Larsen is a new
landmark in the city. The foyer of the Opera House hosts 1,400 guests.
It is equipped with an Uponor radiant heating and cooling system, ensuring
a pleasant indoor environment both during the cold winters and warm
summers of Scandinavia. Altogether 18,000 metres of pipe were installed
in the foyer.
Construction
Construction is about translating
plans into reality. Delivery, logistics,
products and installation effi ciency
become essential. We are renowned
worldwide for the quality and
installa bility of our products. Addi-
tionally, our installer training creates
the basis for fast and reliable instal-
lations. For construction service
providers we offer assistance in
the planning and coordination of
delivery and logistics in order to
eliminate problems with the
construction process. We ensure
the quality of the installation work
through continuous technical
support and fi nal verifi cation of
the installation.
" The fl exibility Uponor off ers increases the speed of installation threefold and eliminates the need for hot work on site. We wouldn’t use anything else."
The Manchester NV Buildings
The NV Buildings in Salford Quays,
Manchester, are Countryside
Properties‘ homage to modern
living. The three stunning towers
represent one of the most advanced
buildings in Great Britain. Uponor’s
installation is a futuristic plumbing
system with state-of-the–art
manifold plumbing techniques and
risers, allowing each plumbed-in
appliance to be individually isolated
so that the supply can be switched
off if needed.
Chris Goodyale, Contracts Manager
Optima (Cambridge) Ltd, Peterborough, UK
Buildings in use
At the end of construction the
utilisation of a building begins –
an important interface including the
fi nal approval of construction work
and laying the foundations for
effi cient operation and mainte-
nance. At the commissioning stage
we support our partners in verifying
the desired performance of our
systems. Full and accurate fi nal
system documentation is always
made available to the client. Our
training enables building manage-
ment professionals to ensure
smooth and trouble-free operation.
We will be available for support on
our systems’ use, optimisation and
eventual refurbishment – not just
today and tomorrow but through
the whole life cycle of a building.
" We have always been able to rely on Uponor’s support also during the operation and maintenance of our buildings."
Jouni Liimatainen, Property Development Manager
YH Keski-Suomi Oy, Jyväskylä, Finland
Concord Pacifi c Place
Development, Vancouver
The buildings, which contain over
300 units each, are plumbed with over
36,000 metres of Uponor tubing. Using
fl exible PEX tubing eliminates joints
within the slab and cuts installation
time by approximately 50% when
compared with copper.
Water in the Vancouver area can
be acidic and can eat away copper
pipe over time. Uponor’s solution
resists aggressive water and soils,
making it much more reliable in
Vancouver‘s plumbing
systems.
