Am currently installing Underfloor Heating at Roshven House, which is taking up a considerable amount of time!
I wont bore you with more pictures of UFH pipes but the project has over 50 manifold zones spread over 4 floors

I recently was out on Muck building an Oak framed house for some new residents.
This building was originally built as a Pod for the 2000 Castaway programme on Taransay. It was subsequently dismantled and sat in a woodyard for a number of years.
Foundation pads and floor beams in place
Oak frames finished
Roof starts to go on
Framework finished!
Underfloor heating pipes laid proir to the screed arriving. The system will be powered by an outdoor air heat pump.

Pressurising the system
This is a new house just outside Invergarry. Underfloor Heating powered by a heat recovery system.

Manifold for the heat pump. The Heat pump controls the flow temperature in the floor depending on the outside air temperature.
Heat recovery unit proir to commissioning
This is a small project I am doing at home, a porch extension with Aplex plumbing, outdoor air heat pump and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating (not connected yet) and Hot/cold domestic manifold. 26mm pipe has been used to supply the manifolds and pre-insulated 16mm pipe has been used for individual outlets.
Alpex pipe laid in slab insulation ready for final pour. Each outlet is served by a single pipe from the distribution manifold
Outdoor Air Heat pump installed and operational. Visitors welcome!
Underfloor heating installed recently in a cottage conversion.
Screed floor, with the pipework now ready for the final pour.
Here are some photos of heat pumps taken at the NIBE training centre in Sweden
This is a single phase ground source heat pump on the left and a hot water storage tank on the right

The smaller diameter of pipe comes in rolls so you can run it in the floor slab with out worrying about any joints. The larger sizes comes in rolls or in straight 5m lengths.
After cutting the pipe is deburred or "calibrated" to ensure a good fit
The required fitting is pushed into place
The joint is then fixed inplace using the crimping pliers
