Sunpipes installed
Sunpipes are a revolutionary new way to deliver natural daylight to an internal space, via energy free, super reflective tubes. The light is evenly diffused across the space by a translucent ceiling fixture
Sunpipe located over passageway between the lobby and hall
final screed now laid over underfloor heating system, and preparation for installation of plaster boards continues
tiling to lobby roof complete
Installation of underfloor heating system
a layer of insulating foam, 125 mm thick, is laid over the concrete base floor
fixing panels are then applied to cover the layer of insulating foam
a system of specialised pipes is then fixed securely into the panels
cross-sectional views of the above systems in place, the installation being completed by coverage with a flowing screed on which the final floor coverings will eventually be laid
This is a Velta Tecto 2 system. Velta systems are installed worldwide, recent examples being Bangkok and Hamburg International Airports
