Complex build. Zero hot works.

A high-tech HQ, with no tolerance for delay.

Interket International needed more than a warehouse: a high-tech UK headquarters pairing specialist production facilities with premium offices. Vulcan Phase 1 was a complex industrial turnkey build, spanning structural works, MEP services and specialist fit-out, all running to a tight programme.

The services had to navigate reinforced concrete slabs, jumbo stud walls and dedicated compressor rooms, threading through multi-level spaces shared with every other trade on site. Traditional rigid pipework would have meant heavy labour, dangerous hot works permits in an active zone, and a high risk of coordination clashes with the structural steel.

Routed where rigid pipe couldn’t go, with no hot works.

Ridgeline’s flexible corrugated 316L stainless tube went in fast across the two-storey office and warehouse. Continuous runs meant minimal fittings, so coils could be pulled through structural voids without complex jointing at height, and routed cleanly around steelwork, ducting and concrete slabs with no rework and no clashes. 28 mm lines carried the main distribution; 15 mm branches fed office toilets, sinks, kitchens and the specialist production zones.

With no hot works, there were no fire permits to manage and no brazing or soldering in a busy multi-trade environment, which lifted site safety instantly. For a building designed as a long-term HQ, the 316L construction brings a 100+ year design life with minimal maintenance, and supports Interket’s ESG goals through high recycled content and a lower-impact install.

• Speed and simplicity

  Long continuous runs with minimal fittings, pulled through structural voids.

• No hot works

  No fire permits, no brazing or soldering, safer in a multi-trade build.

• Coordination, solved

  Routed around steel, ducts and concrete with no clashes and no rework.

• Built for the long term

  316L stainless steel, 100+ year design life, high recycled content.

A complex build, delivered on programme.

Vulcan Phase 1 shows how Ridgeline earns its place on complex industrial turnkey projects, where traditional methods would mean unacceptable disruption or labour cost. The flexibility to route anywhere, combined with 316L reliability and no hot works, kept a demanding multi-trade build moving and on programme.

Interket International gained a new UK headquarters built for the long term: a clean stainless water system, installed safely alongside every other trade, with the durability a flagship facility demands.
