Contratista experimentado ahorra mucho tiempo al instalar 53,000 pies de tuberías verticales, conductos principales y tuberías en la unidad en un edificio de 36 pisos
“Al principio, no me gustó”, declara. “Pensé que le estaba quitando la habilidad al oficio. Pero ahora me encanta por todo el tiempo que se ahorra en la instalación y las pruebas”.
Flores estima que ahorra aproximadamente la mitad del tiempo al instalar y probar un sistema de tuberías PEX, en comparación con los sistemas de cobre o cloruro de polivinilo clorado (CPVC). Y cuando se instalan más de 53,000 pies de tuberías en un proyecto de este tamaño, eso implica un gran ahorro de tiempo.
“Como en los accesorios de expansión ProPEX® no se hacen pruebas de ajuste en seco, no hay riesgo de fugas”, explica. “Eso permite hacer las pruebas del sistema con mucha rapidez”.
A Flores también le agrada la eficiencia de instalación que ofrecen los conectores multipuerto en T de polímero procesado (EP) de Uponor. “Los conectores multipuerto son excelentes”, asegura. “Solo hay que instalar el conector en T y poner los flexibles donde sea necesario”.
El proyecto Loring Park Tower utiliza tuberías AquaPEX® de Uponor de 1 ½ in a 2 in para las tuberías verticales y los conductos principales junto con tuberías AquaPEX de Uponor de ½ in a 1 in para los conductos en la unidad.
Pensé que le estaba quitando la habilidad al oficio. Pero ahora me encanta por todo el tiempo que se ahorra en la instalación y las pruebas.
