Exploring Viega's Engineering Services: A Comprehensive Overview


July 7, 2025 | Viega


 

Efficient and reliable engineering services are crucial for the success of any project. From accurate materials lists to full schematics for installations, Viega Engineering Services offers a wide range of services that cater to various sectors, including commercial, industrial, marine and residential.

Evolving from Design Services to Full Slate of Engineering Services

Viega’s design services initially focused on residential and commercial radiant heating, cooling and snow melt designs. But as the company continued to grow and expand, so did the design services team. Brett Austin, Viega Manager of Engineering Services, shared that the team has grown from just two team members to a roster of more than 20 team members and engineers who work with customers on a diverse range of projects and with extensive backgrounds in plumbing, mechanical and engineering.

Key Services Offered by Viega's Engineering Team

Viega's engineering team provides a variety of services that cater to the needs of residential, commercial, industrial and marine projects. These include:

  • Radiant Heating and Cooling Designs: The team continues to offer radiant heating and cooling designs for both residential and commercial applications. They provide drawings with calculations including flow rates, pressure drop, and BTU loads along with a complete material list, which are then used by engineers and contractors to bid on projects.
  • Plumbing and Mechanical Designs: Viega's engineering team also specializes in plumbing and mechanical designs including gas and hydronic piping systems the years, using Viega’s MegaPress®, ProPress® and PureFlow®.
  • Material Take-Offs: One of the most frequently used services provided by Viega's engineering team is the creation of material take-offs. These detailed lists are essential for commercial buildings, helping contractors understand the materials needed for a project. Collaborating with the contractor to ensure clarity, the designs are based on 3D models created in Revit and are extensively detailed.
  • Labor Comparisons: Viega's engineering team offers labor comparisons, showcasing the time savings associated with Viega Press Connect fittings compared to more common methods like soldering, welding and threading.

Collaborative Approach

Viega's engineering team works closely with contractors, engineers, wholesalers and the field sales teams to ensure the success of each project. Austin highlighted the importance of collaboration, explaining how the team supports engineers by providing free services in exchange for specifying Viega products on their plans. This mutual benefit fosters strong relationships and ensures that projects run smoothly.

The team also interacts with contractors to create accurate material lists based on completed drawings. This process involves detailed reviews of plans and applications, ensuring that all necessary materials are accounted for. Additionally, Viega's engineering team offers labor comparisons to help contractors understand the benefits of using Viega products.

Success Stories and Real-World Examples

Viega's engineering services have played a crucial role in numerous successful projects. Austin shared several examples that highlight the team's impact:

  • Automotive Factory: Viega's engineering team helped design a project involving the replacement of 300 rooftop units at one of the largest automotive manufacturing facilities in the world. Using traditional methods, the expected installation time planned was to complete one unit per day. By using Viega MegaPress products, the contractor was able to triple the number of units they could install the first day and continued to increase the number of installations each day. The time savings calculated by the Engineering Services team was 2,010 hours (or 50.2 weeks). **
  • High School Rooftop Replacement: Viega's engineering team provided 3D models and material lists for a high school rooftop replacement project. This support allowed the contractor to pre-cut pipe lengths and assemble units in the shop, streamlining the installation process.
Customer-Focused Solutions

“Viega's engineering services have received positive feedback from clients. Contractors appreciate the detailed material lists and the time savings associated with using Viega products,” said Scott Carder, Viega Piping Systems Engineer. “Accurate material take-offs help contractors avoid discrepancies between estimating software and actual project needs.”

Viega's engineering services are an invaluable resource for contractors, engineers and wholesalers. The team's collaborative approach, detailed material lists and labor comparisons ensure that projects run smoothly and efficiently.
