Metal pipe boxing covers Camden energy efficient heating upgrade

Camden Council’s extensive heating and hot water upgrade programme for over 500 properties on and around the Weedington Road Estate, is using around 20 kilometres of Pendock metal pipe boxing to conceal new distribution pipework that serves each flat.

To conceal the insulated distributed heating system pipework in each block that runs vertically through each stairwell and branches off at high level on each floor to feed the individual flats, Camden Council used Pendock bespoke manufactured metal boxing, which was also installed by Pendock Contracts.

The 2mm thick PPC coated metal boxing was manufactured by Pendock using precision metal forming machines capable of achieving tolerances of around 0.5mm. This helps maintain a high degree of accuracy on site to achieve close fitting joints when securing to walls and ceilings.
