Steve Vick International (SVI) has been working with district heating pipe suppliers to advance district heating infrastructure. SVI offers a range of trailers, pipe handling and pushing equipment, while district heating pipe suppliers specialise in supplying pre-insulated polymer pipes, collectively supporting the transportation and installation of coiled pipes essential for district heating systems.
District heating is a centralised approach to supplying heat to numerous properties, encompassing residential, commercial, and multioccupancy structures. Any heat source can be used but the trend is for new low carbon technologies such as largescale heat pumps and waste heat.
The core of district heating networks comprises underground pre-insulated pipe networks, facilitating the efficient transport of hot water to Heat Interface Units (HIUs) within buildings. HIUs regulate temperature and distribute hot water for heating and domestic use, while the return flow of cooled water completes the cycle back to the energy centre for reheating and redistribution.
SVI’s equipment and pre-insulated pipes combine to optimise the installation and operation of district heating systems, enhancing efficiency and durability. This collaborative effort aims to elevate the technical capabilities of district heating infrastructure, emphasising reliability and sustainability for modern energy solutions.
