Queensland Investment Corporation chooses
Viega fittings for Eastland Shopping Centre

Contractor's faith in Viega fittings pays off in time and money

A huge leap of faith paid off handsomely for Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC) when the group consented to use Viega's press fit system in its Eastland Shopping Centre project in the Melbourne suburb of Ringwood. Stage one of the $655 million revamp increased the size of the centre by 55 per cent to 131,000 square metres.

ProBuild, one of Australia's largest construction companies, won the tender but faced two significant technical and timeframe challenges: A large centre that continued to service a high level of traffic and a demanding construction schedule. The deadline for completion was October 2015. Then there was the client's reluctance to use anything but welded connections for copper.

Specific requirements
Water and gas lines had to be installed to supply building services and fire systems. These included connection points and fit outs for new food outlets as well as water supply to all other building services including wet areas. Gas supply was required to food outlets and boilers on the roof, while large bore water lines were required to supply fire systems.
