What the photos show
A Waywest plumber in a hard hat and high-visibility jacket works from a red scissor lift beneath the arena's ceiling, installing and securing a run of large-diameter white piping. Threaded rod hangers connect the pipe to the structure overhead, and the pipe runs along a red-painted beam past existing piping.
Waywest provided the plumbing and HVAC systems for this institutional arena in Parksville. The facility is not named here at the owner's discretion.
Institutional work, done to last
Public buildings are built for decades of use. Piping has to be properly supported, sloped and accessible for future maintenance, and work often happens around the facility's schedule. Waywest's crews bring that discipline to recreation, institutional and commercial projects across the Island.

Common questions
Does Waywest do plumbing in commercial and public buildings?
Yes. Waywest Mechanical Ltd. provides mechanical construction and plumbing for commercial and institutional buildings on Vancouver Island, including recreation facilities.
Why does overhead piping need proper hangers?
Large-diameter pipe is heavy, especially when full, and expands and contracts with temperature. Correctly spaced and sized hangers keep the pipe at the right slope, prevent sagging and stress on joints, and protect the structure.
