As part of the £1.3 billion redevelopment of London Olympia, Walraven was selected to supply insulated pipe supports for the project’s new energy centre. The facility will provide heating across the development and cooling for the exhibition areas, requiring a highly efficient and reliable pipework installation.

Supporting a large-scale energy centre with insulated pipe supports

The extensive pipework network serving the new energy centre required a significant number of insulated pipe supports to maintain thermal efficiency throughout the system.

The project called for a solution that could:

  • Support pipe sizes ranging from 15 mm to 76 mm.
  • Deliver reliable thermal performance across a large installation.
  • Maintain effective moisture resistance and vapour sealing.
  • Provide verified load-bearing performance.
  • Offer a cost-effective solution for a high-volume project.

Choosing a thermally efficient solution

Walraven Phenblox® insulated pipe supports and Walraven 2S clamps were selected by the contractor as an effective solution for the project’s insulated pipework requirements.

Walraven is supplying more than 55,000 Phenblox® blocks and clamps for the redevelopment, supporting the extensive heating and cooling infrastructure within the new energy centre.

The selected solution offers several key benefits:

  • Excellent thermal performance.
  • High Euroclass fire rating (BL-S1,d0).
  • Effective moisture resistance and vapour sealing properties.
  • Metal spreader plates on larger sizes for optimal load-bearing capacity.
  • Verified load-bearing performance when combined with Walraven 2S clamps.
  • CE and UKCA marked products manufactured by Walraven in the UK.

Long-term performance with insulated pipe supports

By combining Walraven Phenblox® insulated pipe supports with Walraven 2S clamps, the installation team selected a solution that supports the thermal efficiency and long-term performance of the energy centre’s pipework system.

|The London Olympia redevelopment is one of the UK’s most significant regeneration projects, and the selection of more than 55,000 Walraven Phenblox® supports demonstrates the suitability of the system for large-scale commercial heating and cooling installations.
