Challenges

The World Health Organization has issued guidelines for the protection of drinking water. They have been transposed into applicable law by international and national laws and regulations almost everywhere. Operators of drinking water systems in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. are particularly made responsible.

Viega provides you with essential support in the planning and installation of drinking water systems: The coordinated system solutions have been tried and tested in practice for many years and support the maintenance of drinking water quality.

Dangers to drinking water do not only threaten the health of the patients but also lead to higher operating costs. However, the greatest damage to a health facility is likely to result from a loss of image, if patients in a hospital or nursing home fall ill due to germs in the drinking water.

The Viega Hygiene concept for maintaining drinking water quality helps to drastically reduce these and similar risks.

Two practical examples underline the importance of high-quality system solutions in the healthcare sector:

- Surface temperature control is a comfortable and energy-efficient solution for a pleasant room temperature. In patient and operating rooms, this type of heat distribution counteracts the turbulence of germs and dust.

- Contact-free WC flushing and hygienic floor drains for barrier-free showers increase the comfort of sanitary facilities for patients with handicaps. At the same time, such installation solutions reduce the risk of germ transmission.

- Surface temperature control systems can be integrated into floors, walls and ceilings. There is no need for radiators. Architects thus have more freedom in interior design. In addition, the risk of injury to patients and nursing staff is reduced.

Surface temperature control systems allow rooms to be heated or cooled equally - a major contribution to well-being in the sickroom and at the same time a significant contribution to energy efficiency.

Viega combines design, comfort, hygiene and economy in its pre-wall installation systems. They facilitate room design and ensure economical, soundproof installation of piping systems, and they also support the room functions themselves:
Dementia patients, for example, often forget to flush the toilet. On the other hand, people with limited mobility are often unable to activate flush triggers. The consequences for hygiene are serious. So is the cleaning effort. Viega offers tailor-made solutions for this, such as automatically triggering actuating plates.

The hygienic drainage of showers, bathtubs or floor drains completes this range of services.

Investors, architects and operators view projects holistically: life cycle costs and sustainability are important criteria.

It is precisely from these perspectives that Viega sees the world of installation technology:

• secure planning tools 
• Simple installation
• short-term and long-term delivery capability
• durable product quality 
• timeless design.

These future-oriented solutions lead to low life cycle costs and high profitability.
