Building Auberge on the Park: Innovation Meets Efficiency with Uponor
Auberge on the Park isn't your average condo building. This luxurious, three-tower project in Toronto boasts stunning city views, top-notch amenities, and parks, all while pushing the boundaries of construction technology. But for the builders, one major challenge loomed: shrinking construction time without compromising quality or durability.
That's where Uponor stepped in. The innovative PEX piping system emerged as the perfect solution for Auberge on the Park, addressing key concerns and offering significant advantages over traditional copper.
Speeding up construction with double the work, half the time
Stellar Hi-Rise Mechanical, the contractor managing the project, estimated completing twice the daily work with Uponor PEX compared to copper, potentially even triple. This translated to faster construction and quicker time to market.
Simplified, contractor-friendly installation
The contractors found the system efficient and easy to use. No cutting, cleaning, or soldering was required, saving time and effort compared to labor-intensive copper installations. Many of them truly felt like Uponor products minimized the toll on their body, allowing them to work longer careers with less pain.
Reliable, easy-to-learn design
The Uponor PEX and ProPEX® fitting system helped to minimize installation errors common with traditional methods, such as solder joints and crimping. This ensured accuracy and peace of mind for contractors.
No more fumes or burns for greater health and safety
Eliminating open flames and fumes associated with copper soldering meant a safer and healthier work environment. Contractors appreciated the lack of smoke inhalation and lingering odors, improving their overall wellbeing.
Environmental responsibility
Many contractors praised the environmentally friendly qualities of Uponor products and systems, aligning with their values and contributing to a greener building project.
Long-term peace of mind
Engineers specified Uponor for its durability and reliability, knowing it would meet the demands of a high-end building like Auberge on the Park. This helped to ensure greater longevity and decades of service.
The Auberge on the Park project serves as a testament to the power of innovation. By embracing the Uponor PEX piping system, the builders achieved faster construction times, a safer work environment, and a sustainable outcome, all without compromising quality or longevity.
