Viega ProPress® offers secure, reliable connections for CityCenter Las VegasCityCenter is a 16,797,000-square-foot resort on 76 acres located on the Las Vegas Strip. Viega ProPress � ttings in both copper and stainless steel were installed at CityCenter ranging in systems from potable and chilled water to R/O water and landscaping feeds. Southland Industries, a mechanical systems engineering, construction and service company with campuses in California, Nevada, Virginia and Maryland, installed Viega ProPress systems in the ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter.

The ARIA Resort & Casino at CityCenter is a AAA Five-Diamond-Award-winning resort with 4,004 guestrooms, 16 restaurants, 10 bars and lounges, 300,000 square feet of technologically advanced meeting space and three pools with 50 cabanas.

Fred Morissette, a Plumbing Superintendent in the plumbing department of Southland Industries’ Las Vegas campus, worked on the ARIA Resort & Casino project. Morissette, who’s been in the industry for 42 years and with Southland for 16 years, � rst heard about Viega ProPress in 1999.

“Our standard is Viega ProPress,” Morissette said. “We were using it long before anyone else. We use it pretty much everywhere. It’s turned out to be one of the best plumbing innovations I have had the pleasure to work with.”

According to Morissette, Southland uses Viega ProPress systems for stainless and copper in projects including hotels, casinos, hospitals and other commercial, institutional or industrial work. For the CityCenter project, Morissette’s team installed Viega ProPress systems in sizes 2" and smaller. CityCenter rede� nes the Las Vegas skyline with three award-winning high-rise residential condominiums, multiple retail locations and an on-site � re station.

With world-class dining, sophisticated gaming and mesmerizing nightlife, CityCenter offers beautiful landscaping and spectacular architecture. Composed of ARIA Resort & Casino, Vdara Hotel & Spa and Mandarin Oriental for hospitality, Veer Towers for residential space and Crystals for shopping, dining and nightlife, CityCenter has all the features and entertainment of a city by itself!

Southland has since started offering training at their different locations on how to properly install Viega ProPress.

“We’ll actually show them the insertion, the proper cutting, the deburring,” Morissette said. “It’s simple but we want our people to do it exactly the way Viega recommends. All the technology behind it and just their history – they’ve been around and doing this for a long time.”

Morissette especially appreciates the amount of technical documentation that is readily available for Viega ProPress.

“The technical information Viega has far exceeds everybody else,” Morissette said. “All the information for submittals, all the chemical lists that it’s resistant to, any question that anybody asked us about it, it’s all documented. And you can go and � nd four or � ve different publications on it depending on what part of the web site you go to.”

Morissette appreciates the quantity of technical information available, especially for government and military contracts. Having the information on hand and easy to access simpli� es the process of presenting Viega ProPress to a potential customer.

“The knowledge and the support that Viega has is far above and beyond the others,” Morissette said. “It’s the way of the future. Our company has always been open to new means and methods but we do a lot of research. We don’t just pick something off a shelf and go with it.”

Another bene� t that Viega ProPress offers is � ameless connections. Not having to obtain hot work permits helps save time on the job. Morissette pointed out that traditional pipe joining methods have to explain their use of lead-free solder but with Viega ProPress for copper the complete installation is 100% lead free, since installers don’t need solder at all.

“Viega ProPress makes all plumbers equal regardless of their talents,” Morissette said. “Every job we’ve ever done has had great success. The only one we feel comfortable with is Viega.”

Morissette also commented about the ease of working with Viega’s logistics group.

“It’s always been a pleasure,” Morissette said. “The stock, the delivery, the availability, the quality – there’s no better product out there. My father told me a long time ago material is cheap and labor is expensive. And that’s something I tell everybody every time we try something new or when it seems pricey at the onset. Viega products prove this theory project after project.”

Morissette explained that when other manufacturers come to pitch their press system products, he isn’t interested in talking to them.

“Why should we?” Morissette asked. “We are already using the best product on the market.”
