How Henco helped renovate occupied apartments without interrupting heating

Project overview

At Olaiparken in Kalundborg, Denmark, a large-scale residential renovation project required a heating solution that could be upgraded while residents continued living comfortably in their apartments. Over a period of two and a half years, the project demonstrated how integrated Henco solutions can address complex technical requirements, simplify installation and minimize disruption during renovation works.

For this project, the installation contractor selected a complete Henco solution consisting of multilayer pipes, Henco Ecoline units with specially developed stainless steel plates, and the innovative Henco Pro-Flow Manifold. Having successfully worked with Henco products on previous projects, the contractor once again trusted the system's reliability, ease of installation and seamless integration.

The challenge

The project presented two major challenges.
First, the heating system needed to remain operational throughout the renovation process. As the apartments remained occupied, any prolonged disruption to heating had to be avoided. Second, the project specifications prohibited the use of brass components in key parts of the installation. This requirement demanded a customized solution that could meet the technical specifications without compromising performance, durability or reliability.

The solution

To address the project's unique requirements, Henco worked closely with the installer from an early stage to develop a tailored solution.
For the Ecoline system, Henco introduced specially engineered stainless steel plates, enabling the installation to fully comply with the project's brass-free specification while maintaining the high performance expected from the system.

To ensure uninterrupted comfort for residents, the Henco Pro-Flow Manifold played a crucial role. Its design allowed installers to isolate individual apartment circuits when replacing radiators, while keeping the heating system operational throughout the rest of the building. Combined with Henco's proven multilayer piping technology, the solution provided installers with maximum flexibility during the renovation process and helped streamline installation activities across the site.

The result

Although the renovation project is still ongoing, the benefits are already clear.
The combination of Henco multilayer pipes, stainless steel Ecoline units and the Henco Pro-Flow Manifold has delivered a high-performance heating installation that meets strict project specifications while simplifying the renovation process. Most importantly, residents have been able to remain in their homes with minimal inconvenience, thanks to the ability to maintain heating throughout the works.

The project has also become an important reference for the installation contractor, who regularly presents it to customers, consultants and engineers as an example of how integrated Henco solutions can help simplify complex renovation projects.

Conclusion

The Olaiparken renovation highlights the value of close collaboration, technical expertise and innovative heating solutions.
By combining customized stainless steel components, advanced manifold technology and proven multilayer piping systems, Henco delivered a future-ready installation tailored to the specific needs of the project.

For installers and building owners alike, Olaiparken demonstrates how a complete and integrated heating solution can help overcome technical challenges, maintain occupant comfort and create long-term value in modern residential renovation projects.
