Large-scale residential development at Eastwick & Sweetwater, London
The Eastwick & Sweetwater development in East London is a major residential scheme designed to expand high-quality housing provision across more than 200 flats and houses. Delivering mechanical services at this scale requires consistent product performance, dependable supply and responsive technical support throughout an extended construction programme.
This project highlights how a PBPSA member RWC, through its JG Speedfit system and complementary valve solutions, supported Colne Valley Mechanical in meeting the demands of a complex, multi-unit residential development.
Project details
Client: Colne Valley Mechanical
Location: Essex, UK
Application: Residential flats and high-rise housing developments
The development required a reliable manufacturing partner capable of providing compliant products, technical expertise and continuity of supply across all build phases.
Customer challenges
Three primary challenges were identified:
Cost efficiency
The plumbing installation had to remain within budget while meeting all performance and regulatory requirements.
Product availability
Timely delivery of critical components was essential to avoid disruption to the construction schedule.
Speed of support
Rapid access to technical advice and design input was required to maintain progress on site and address specification queries as they arose.
Solution approach
A combination of tailored product supply and technical services was implemented to streamline installation while maintaining compliance and reliability.
A collaborative working relationship was established early in the project. Ongoing engagement between the contractor and manufacturer ensured that product selection, system layout and delivery schedules remained aligned with the build programme.
Support extended beyond product supply to include responsive CAD services and technical input, helping to reduce installation errors and maintain momentum during first and second fix stages.
Key solutions supplied
The following products formed part of the overall mechanical specification:
- Easifit thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) for safe and compliant temperature control
- Tenant Valve Advance units for compact water management within residential flats
- Tundish assemblies to support compliance in unvented hot water installations
- Pressure reducing valves (PRVs) to maintain consistent system pressure across multiple dwellings
- JG Speedfit pipework for first fix hot and cold water services and radiator connections
Together, these solutions provided a coordinated and regulation-compliant approach to water distribution, pressure management and temperature control throughout the development.
Project outcome
The combination of reliable product supply, responsive technical support and compliant specification solutions enabled Colne Valley Mechanical to keep the Eastwick & Sweetwater project on track.
All components were delivered to site in line with programme requirements and aligned with current UK regulations. The result was an efficient mechanical installation that met performance expectations across both flats and high-rise residential units.
Conclusion
Following the successful delivery of products and technical support, the working relationship between RWC and Colne Valley Mechanical continues as site requirements evolve. Ongoing collaboration ensures that future phases of the development benefit from the same technical responsiveness and product reliability demonstrated throughout the project.
