Nothing beats a good skate to build relationships! Great time in Kitchener with WalterFedy and Conestogo Mechanical Inc .—strong energy on the ice and even better conversations off it! #Victaulic #Partnerships #MechanicalEngineering #Collaboration #MechanicalContracting #PickupHockey

Copper: At the Center of Global Development Copper has become one of the most strategic commodities of our time—essential to electrification, decarbonization, and digital transformation. From renewable energy to EVs and data infrastructure, it underpins nearly every critical growth sector. Rising demand, coupled with supply constraints, has pushed copper prices to record levels. While production from the world’s largest mines remains vital to maintaining supply, it is no longer enough. The industry must also accelerate the approval and execution of new projects—often challenged by regulatory, environmental, and capital hurdles. Copper is no longer just cyclical—it is a strategic enabler of modern development, it is at the core of our future. #mining #productivity #constructability #safety #sustainability #victaulic https://lnkd.in/ghnrMH4p https://lnkd.in/gnatbjYe

Victaulic is delighted to be attending the Water Equipment Show in Telford tomorrow. Big shout to The Pump Centre and Arcadis for making this happen. Looking forward to seeing folks there and feel free to join the talks in Room E. #pipingstrategy #affordability #performance #resilience

Nothing beats seeing speed, simplicity, and reliability in the field! 😎 One of the biggest advantages of our style 107V coupling is the ease of installation. With the ability to use an impact gun during assembly, contractors can significantly improve installation speed without worrying about over-torquing the coupling. The design ensures proper installation criteria are met while helping crews stay efficient in the field. Another major benefit is visual verification. Installers, foremen, and inspectors can quickly confirm proper installation through a simple visual inspection, helping reduce uncertainty and improving quality control on the jobsite. That’s the kind of innovation that keeps projects moving. Huge shoutout to the field crews and mechanical contractors continuing to push productivity and quality standards forward every day! 💪 #Victaulic #MechanicalContractor #Construction #HVAC #Plumbing #Pipefitting #Innovation #ConstructionTechnology #CommercialConstruction #Jobsite #FieldInstallation #Productivity #MechanicalSystems #PipeJoining #BuiltOnVictaulic

Did you know the Victaulic grooved piping system is commonly used on rubber lined piping systems transporting media such as slurry, sand and other abrasive media? Why is it used? In short, faster installation, fewer bolts, quicker to disassemble and rotate pipes, and is easily reusable / re-configurable in the field. Victaulic has solutions for high and lower pressure systems in various dimensions. This leads to reduced shutdown times and field maintenance for owners and operators.

🧱 Cooling infrastructure for the AI era — built like LEGO. I'm excited to be part of a panel discussion at the Open Compute Project EMEA Summit in Barcelona this 30 April, exploring one of the most pressing challenges in AI data centre design: how do we scale Technology Cooling Systems from 100 kW all the way to 1 MW per rack — without rebuilding from scratch every time? 📌 Session: Modular Technology Cooling: The "Pipeline" — 100 kW to 1 MW/Rack 📅 30 April | OCP EMEA Summit, Barcelona Our panel will discuss how standardised, pre-engineered cooling building blocks — manifolds, piping, CDUs, filtration strategies, and controls — can be assembled and reused across generations of AI infrastructure. Think of it as a modular "LEGO pipeline" that evolves with compute, rather than being replaced by it. We'll dig into: 🔹 Where today's cooling designs break down at higher rack densities 🔹 How off-site fabrication and pre-commissioning are reshaping modular guidance 🔹 How real-world deployments are feeding directly back into the OCP Modular TCS workstream This session reflects live, community-driven work within the OCP Modular TCS workstream — and we want to hear from you too. Joining me on the panel: 👤 Ian Francis – EMEA Mechanical SME, Digital Realty 👤 Malcolm Howe – Partner, Critical Systems Team, Cundall 👤 Justin Seter – Strategic Initiatives Officer, DLB & Fluid2Chip 👤 José Castañeda – VP Innovation & Intelligence, AirTrunk 👤 Don Mitchell – OCP Modular TCS Workstream Lead & Technology Cooling & SFN Leader, Victaulic If you're attending OCP EMEA, come join the conversation. The future of AI cooling infrastructure is being written in real time — and this is where you can help shape it. #OpenCompute #OCPEMEA #DataCentre #LiquidCooling #AIInfrastructure #ThermalManagement #ModularCooling #Barcelona Open Compute Project Foundation ; Digital Realty ; Cundall ; DLB Associates ; Fluid2Chip ; Victaulic

Big day tomorrow. The first of many deliveries to a prestigious South Wales project. #victaulic #prefabrication

Thank you to Plumbers & Pipefitters UA Local 322 for the opportunity to spend time training the first-year apprentices yesterday. At Victaulic , we’re proud to support the future of the trade and appreciate any opportunity to share knowledge around proper installation and the performance of our products. Best of luck as you continue your journey in the trade!

Engineering Confidence & Value Engineering Vs. Overdesign .... How to Find The Right Balance? In fire protection engineering, there’s a fine line between engineering confidence, overdesign, and what is often misunderstood as value engineering. Overdesign is usually driven by good intentions...... Adding more capacity, more material, more “safety factors” to compensate for uncertainty, while in reality, it can introduce unnecessary complexity, increase installation time, and inflate project costs, without delivering the expected value. On the other hand, true Engineering Confidence is rooted in understanding system behavior, interpreting standards correctly, and selecting the right technology for the application. At the same time, Value Engineering is frequently misinterpreted. It is not about selecting cheaper materials… It is about achieving the required performance in the most efficient, constructible, and reliable way. For example, when designing according to NFPA 13, the objective is not to “add more” but to meet the minimum performance requirements with precision & respect to local content & AHJs. This is where modern solutions, such as those developed by Victaulic , play a role. Not by encouraging overdesign, but by enabling efficient, reliable, and predictable system performance with reduced -usually forgotten- installation variables. Because ultimately, fire protection is not about how much you add… It’s about how well you understand. Where do you see the biggest gap today, lack of Engineering Confidence, or misunderstood Value Engineering? #Innovation #Victaulic #VictaulicFPWorks #Preaction #FireProtection #Fire_Protection #Fire #Safety #DataCenters #Data_Centers #Sprinklers #FP_Valves Note: AI Generated Image used
