Posiflex – Heron Tower – London

One custom made Posiflex 1104LW (lightweight) has been manufactured and fitted to an impressive aquarium at Heron Tower in central London. The Posiflex bespoke product was chosen to connect pipework to an aquarium as it was ideal for it’s very low spring rate. This flexible Posiflex joint has the ability to absorb movement from the pipework and not transfer it to the very large aquarium, which was a key feature of the development.

Standing at 230m tall including its 28m mast, Heron Tower holds Britain’s largest privately owned aquarium, holding 70,000-litres stocked with over 1,200 fish, with 60 varieties of species, in its reception area. The species were selected by expert biologists and animal curators to ensure compatibility and adaptability to the environment, which are continually cared for at a high level. Bars and restaurants are located throughout the building, some of them offering their own external terraces. The building also boasts a sky bar, accessed by a scenic elevator. It has recently been revealed that backers of the Heron Tower included Prince Abdul Aziz bin Fahd, a son of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.
