Water is supplied at sufficient pressures, taps are supplied, and technical appliances run in the background. The situation becomes critical when pressure conditions change during maintenance work, pressure fluctuations in the network, negative pressure in a pipe, or incorrectly connected appliances. In such cases, water can flow back against the intended direction of flow.</span></p> <p><br></p>

However, even in regions outside these hotspots, demands are rising: ageing networks, climate change, water stress, new pollutants, higher hygiene standards and more complex buildings are changing the conditions under which drinking water is supplied and distributed.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

<div class="hs-featured-image-wrapper"> <a href="https://blog.aquatherm.de/en/driniking-water-hygiene-what-matters-in-building-installations" title="" class="hs-featured-image-link"> <img src="https://blog.aquatherm.de/hubfs/Trinkwasserhygiene_Blogbild.jpg" alt="Drinking water hygiene: What matters in building installations" class="hs-featured-image" style="width:auto !important; max-width:50%; float:left; margin:0 15px 15px 0;"> </a> </div> <p><span>For most people in industrialised countries, drinking water hygiene is taken for granted. But is that really the case? Maintaining the high standards of the public supply network throughout a building’s plumbing system depends on the interplay between the drinking water system, the choice of materials and how the system is operated. This is because responsibility shifts at the point where the supply enters the building. From this point onwards, it is the responsibility of building services engineers, specialist tradespeople and operators to guarantee drinking water hygiene.</span></p>

However, to reliably maintain drinking water quality in projects, one must think beyond the point of connection to the property. This is because water that arrives at the handover point in very good quality subsequently passes through a technical system comprising pipes, fittings, insulation, circulation, and usage patterns. Each of these elements can influence water quality.</span></p>

Whenever Legionella bacteria are detected in drinking water through laboratory analysis, it highlights just how closely responsibilities, prevention and technical planning are interlinked. </span></p>

Adsorption chillers offer a solution for shipbuilding.</span><span style="color: #1f1f1f;"> Instead of using electricity from additional diesel generators to power mechanical refrigeration units, they convert the waste heat already generated by the ship’s propulsion system into useful cooling on board. This is becoming increasingly important in light of the IMO’s regulatory requirements for</span><span style="color: #1f1f1f;">CO₂ reduction through the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) and the CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator).</span></p>

Its construction is comparable to that of a highly complex floating industrial power plant. For shipyards and designers, the vessel’s structure forms the physical framework that determines the efficiency of the technical infrastructure, while the piping routes act as its nervous system, ensuring all vital functions operate reliably.</span></p> <p><span>One of central challenges in modern projects is integrating these systems within highly confined spaces while maintaining maximum reliability and minimising maintenance costs (OPEX).</span></p> <p><span>Furthermore, it is essential to meet the increasing requirements of IMO regulations and efficiency standards such as EEXI through integrated piping engineering.</span></p>

However, the global scale of this practice is enormous. According to figures from the <a href="https://www.imo.org/en/mediacentre/secretarygeneral/pages/mepc-65-opening.aspx">International Maritime Organization (IMO)</a> and the <a href="https://clearseas.org/insights/ballast-water-management-stopping-the-spread-of-invasive-species-by-ships/">Canadian organisation Clear Seas</a>, between five and ten billion tonnes of ballast water are transferred internationally each year. However, these vast volumes of water also carry stowaways: microorganisms, bacteria, small invertebrates, as well as eggs and larvae of a wide variety of species. They are taken up with the water, transported across the world’s oceans in ballast tanks, and released again in foreign ports.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Plastic pipes offer an economical and technically sophisticated solution in shipbuilding compared to traditional metal pipe systems. This article highlights the unique properties and benefits of plastic marine piping systems. Find out how the pipes set new standards in shipbuilding with their lightweight design and corrosion resistance.</span></p>

Prefabrication allows construction projects to be organised more efficiently, as key work stages can be prepared earlier and processes on-site can be better coordinated. In this article, you will learn where a lot of time is often lost in the construction process, how the prefabrication process works in pipework construction, and how assembly, coordination, and scheduling can be significantly improved.</span></p>
