The second-largest high rise in Austin's central business district required a plumbing solution that delivered installation speed and unmatched quality. Austin-based The Porter Company chose Uponor PEX-a and Kitting Services to decrease overall installation time, speed up the planning process, and facilitate quicker construction start times.
An existing structure with plans to become an industrial manufacturing facility needed a reliable plumbing solution that would integrate with the building’s current system and be fast to install. Graves Mechanical chose Uponor hybrid products with innovative, one-step transitions for faster, easier installs along with the benefit of onsite support.
“Uponor Construction Services designed the system, and we simply installed their design,” said Dale Hicks of Dale Hicks and Associates, LLC. “They have been of immeasurable service to us. I refer Uponor PEX to colleagues all the time.”
All 24 homes in the development feature Uponor AquaPEX® plumbing systems and AquaSAFE™ fire sprinkler systems with ProPEX® fittings in ½" to 1½" sizes. The multipurpose fire sprinkler systems seamlessly integrate into the home’s cold-water plumbing system, which increases the speed of installation and provides homeowners with greater peace of mind.
“Weber Hill Villas is just our latest development, and we will apply a lifetime of work, knowledge and innovation to make it truly world class,” explained Hicks.
The newest $18M manufacturing expansion for Uponor PEX pulls out all the stops with a highly efficient building incorporating the company’s plumbing, radiant, and snow melt systems.
Jesse Faust, a former Madison firefighter and EMT, sustained partial paralysis after a severe car accident in 2022. During the construction of his new home, Faust prioritized fire safety, and after seeing how commercial buildings benefit from sprinkler systems, he chose to incorporate a residential solution with Uponor AquaSAFE™ — a multipurpose PEX piping system that combined with his home’s AquaPEX® plumbing.
