From valves Failure to Repair: Real Stories of Top MEP Projects in India
In any major construction project, success depends not only on good planning, but also on the reliability of the components behind the walls, ceilings and pipes. For many of India’s leading MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) consultants, the path from project failure to long-term success often begins with an underestimated component: the valve.
At AIP Vaalve, we’ve seen this story many times before. Let’s take a look at some real-life examples where the right valve selection made the difference.
1. Leaking Crisis in a Skyscraper – Mumbai
A large commercial building in Mumbai experienced repeated water pressure drops and leaking pipe connections during its first year of occupancy. The maintenance team initially attributed the problem to the pipe design, but a detailed inspection revealed the problem: substandard brass valves had corroded due to fluctuating water quality.
By replacing them with IGBC-tested AIP vaalves, the leaks were permanently eliminated. The project not only reduced water consumption by over 30%, but also restored tenant confidence.
2. HVAC System Failure – Pune IT Park
A modern IT campus in Pune experienced significant efficiency losses in its HVAC system. Engineers discovered that the installed balancing valves were not designed for the varying flow requirements. The entire system consumed 20% more energy.
By integrating AIP’s dynamic balancing valves, airflow and pressure were automatically stabilized, reducing operating costs and improving cooling performance
3. Fire protection system failure – Delhi Mall
During a routine fire safety inspection at a large shopping mall in Delhi, a serious problem was discovered: uncertified valves in the hydrant system were clogged with rust. This could have had catastrophic consequences in the event of an emergency.
AIP fire protection valves were installed, tested, and certified, ensuring compliance with regulations and reliability under pressure.
