    Wavin Revit content is so accurate that it allows one-to-one transition from the 3D model to the real build. Our Revit packages have integrated intelligent assistance which allows Revit modelers to insert accurate bends which can be ordered and installed as easy as generic Revit bends in your BIM model. This gives users the great advantage of being able to generate a very accurate BOM (bill of materials). And that’s just one of the many features of our Revit content packages. As an excellent example, check out how to insert and validate Wavin bends into Revit projects:

    Insert actual bends in record time

    Standard Revit piping functionality allow you to draw bends with almost any angle. Not so with Wavin’s Revit content packages. The integrated intelligent assistance provides impeccable checks and balances, so as to only allow you to draw the bends at angles that exist within the product portfolio used, thus preventing potential inaccuracies in the pipe design. And you don’t have to refer to a product catalogue. In this tutorial video, we show you how simple it is to change the type of bend, as well as how to reverse the direction of a bend. We demonstrate, for example, how a 90° bend can be quickly and accurately changed to an assembly of two 45° bends. We also show you how to validate your view, giving you the benefit of seeing the accurate installation model level of detail of your project. Now it’s your turn to try it out.

    Our solutions

    Wavin Drinking Water Solutions

    Drinking water

    Delivering clean water efficiently and safely has become a world-wide problem. Water is lost due to leakages and ageing networks. We need to improve the distribution of clean drinking water from source to tap. We will work towards these goals by raising the quality and performance of high-pressure water distribution networks, improving safety levels of indoor drinking water supply, and building towards a new (smarter) ways of managing drinking water.
    Wavin solutions for heating and cooling

    Heating & Cooling

    People require increased comfort and well-being in the places they live and work. We need to design, build and use comfortable living environments in the most efficient and sustainable way. With the Wavin Indoor Climate solutions we aim to make a positive contribution in many different ways. We contribute to lowering energy usage when heating or cooling our homes, offices, hospitals, and more. Clean and fresh air has so many health and wellbeing benefits.
    Wavin Solutions for Rainwater

    Rainwater

    Climate change with massive rainfall, extreme heats and droughts put pressure on cities. Growing populations increasingly ask for greener living space. We need to (re)act to climate change and build livable and loveable cities. We will work towards these goals by creating integrated rainwater management solutions, countering the risk of flooded streets, avoid urban heat stress, and support greenification of cities. Our Wavin solutions already contribute.
    Wavin Sewer Solutions

    Sewer

    Millions of people have no or limited access to sanitation facilities. Simultaneously, ageing and poorly designed sewer systems contaminate groundwater resources. We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone. We will work towards these goals by building sewer systems with modern technology, preventing leakages, corrosion and clogging of sewer systems, and boosting renewal of sewer infrastructure.

    Wavin Waste Water Solutions

    Waste Water

    We need to future-proof wastewater transport and make sanitation accessible for everyone. Although drainage pipes may sound like a simple form of construction, there are many considerations behind a good and solid drainage system in buildings. We offer a range of market-leading and BIM-supported waste-water solutions incl. low-noise. With our wealth of knowledge and expertise, we can help you to create the optimal solution for your next project.
