Project overview
Pendennis Shipyard, renowned for its expertise in refitting, restoring and custom-building superyachts, collaborated with Geberit to successfully integrate Geberit's Mapress piping system into a high-end superyacht project.
Established in 1988 in Falmouth, Pendennis Shipyard has grown to become a globally renowned company known for handling a diverse range of refit programmes as well as one-off custom-built sail and motor yacht projects.
This project involved various stages including gutting the interiors, performing hot works such as fabrication and steelwork, painting, and the installation of new pipework. Unlike conventional installations, boats often lack straight lines, presenting a complex arrangement. To address this challenge, Pendennis Shipyard sought a quality, easy to install solution. With applications ranging from potable water and tank suctions to vent pipework and transit corridor pipework, the shipyard required an efficient, reliable and top-tier piping system.
