Walraven Phenblox® and clamps chosen for London Olympia redevelopment

Scheduled for completion in 2025, the £1.3 billion redevelopment  of London Olympia is a major transformation project revitalizing the historic exhibition centre into a state-of-the-art cultural, entertainment, and business district.

As part of the redevelopment, Laing O’Rourke are managing the construction of a new state of the art energy centre that provides heating for the whole development and cooling for the exhibition areas.

Phenolic, a robust and effective solution

The complex and expansive pipework system across the site requires a very large number of phenolic insulation blocks and clamps to ensure a thermally efficient installation.

Walraven is supplying over 55,000 phenolic blocks and clamps to this project for pipe sizes ranging from 15mm up to 76mm.

Walraven Phenblox® and 2S clamps were chosen by the contractor as a cost-effective and highly thermally efficient solution for insulated pipe supports.
