Vital Energi is one of the UK’s leading installers of pre-insulated pipes, and employs some of the most experienced designers and engineers in the industry. This expertise means that all our pre-insulated pipe systems are designed to meet all district heating and cooling needs, with every element of every system designed to the highest standards. This ensures that the entire scheme, with its operating life time of thirty years or more depending on conditions, is fully documented.
We offer a range of different insulation thicknesses to meet the requirements of each individual project, and our state-of-the-art insulation techniques provide consistent CO2 reductions. Each pipe section is connected with the most reliable joint system available and because our designs include as few joints as possible, we can offer faster installation times and less risk of leakage. We also provide built in surveillance systems which enable us to trace and identify any defects before any system losses. In short, we strive to meet clients’ differing needs, while always ensuring the best and most economical installation method for a project.
