PAM BUILDING
For 150 years, we have been designing, manufacturing and marketing high-quality complete systems for sanitary and rainwater drainage in buildings. We work exclusively with cast iron, a noble and durable material, of which we are specialists and market leaders.
Our mission: the safety and durability of buildings
Our cast iron solutions and systems contribute to ensure the comfort, safety and durability of the most demanding residential and commercial buildings. Their exceptional characteristics allow them to contribute to HQE, BREEAM, LEED and other international environmental certifications.
Our greatest strength : our teams
We rely on our technical know-how in order to remain the forerunners in our field.
This is why PAM Building capitalizes on the skills of its teams and integrates every year young graduates, in apprenticeship or in advanced training.
Thanks to our unique commercial approach, we have become a technical solutions provider able to anticipate our customers’ expectations.
Our technical team is available from the conception to the realization of a project.
Our business managers ensure a daily follow-up on the ground and guarantee the best conditions for implementation.
Our products, our people and all our teams are here to help you make the world a more beautiful and sustainable home together.

Our promise: to reduce our impact on the environment
Our 2025 vs. 2010 goals:
- 40 % of energy consumption
- 97 % of discharges of industrial water
Our commitment to reducing C02 emissions by 2030:
-
80% compared to 2017
At the heart of the circular economy, our DNA: recycling of metal waste
Our products are made of 99% recycled materials (mainly scrap metal), which can be recycled 100% indefinitely.
Cast iron is a simple and sustainable material that allows a smart reuse of materials. Resistant, reliable and durable, cast iron has a bright future ahead of it.
In 2021, we recycled the equivalent of of 21,000 cars.
- 84 % of nonrecovered waste

THE RESULT OF AN ECO-DESIGN
Evolution of the EN877 standard
The NF EN877 standard is evolving and allows to reduce the minimum thickness of the walls. The products carry the NF quality mark, which means that the conformity of the products has been verified by a third party.
The de Lavaud process
A unique manufacturing process, optimized for Agilium®, with investments partly supported by the Grand Est region.
In the de Lavaud process, historically developed by Saint-Gobain, the liquid metal is poured into a bare steel shell and undergoes very rapid cooling.
A graphitization annealing process, followed by ferritization, results in pipes with exceptional mechanical properties.
* Minimum value of wall thickness up to -1 mm, by comparison with Table 6 of the NF EN877 standard.
The quality of products is guaranteed
We have obtained the most recognized international quality marks, all delivered by third party certification: Marque NF, Q+, Gost (Kitemark and Sintef are under process).

AGILIUM®
We have conducted numerous tests in accredited European laboratories and in our R&D center, which confirm the excellent performance of Agilium® cast iron.
FIRE SAFETY
Pipes are the arteries of a building.
In the event of a fire, the risk is that these pipes will sustain and spread the fire throughout the building. Choosing PAM Building cast iron systems means ensuring the safety of people and property.
Reaction to fire
• Reaction to fire is the ability to ignite and to feed the fire,
• Agilium® drainage systems are A1 fire rated and completely non-combustible. They do not generate smoke or droplets in case of fire.
The Euroclasses establish a classification of reaction to fire that are harmonized throughout Europe that can be used to compare materials and product performance.

Fire resistance
• The fire resistance of a product is its ability to resist fire for a given time and not transmit the fire to an adjacent room,
• Agilium® cast iron is a non-combustible metallic material with a melting point higher than than 1000°C.

Fire resistance test results
Following fire resistance tests carried out by Efectis on slab and wall penetrations, multiple firewall solutions are envisaged:
• In the vast majority of cases, no protection is necessary,
• Optimization of the thickness of the slab by adding concrete blocks at the level of the crossing,
• In some cases, because the fire resistance classification implies a limitation of the heating on the side opposite the fire, insulation in the area of the penetration is necessary, carried out by the use of mineral wool shells.

DURABILITY AND MECHANICAL STRENGTH
Reduced maintenance costs due to the mechanical properties of cast iron.
Aging behaviour: cast iron is characterized by a long life span of 70 years, in particular thanks to the stability of its mechanical properties, in comparison with the aging of polymers and their deterioration.
Resistance of Agilium® cast iron to impacts occurring in parking lots and basements in technical rooms (cellars, garbage rooms...).
ACOUSTIC COMFORT FOR THE OCCUPANTS
Agilium® retains the acoustic performance with an airborne sound insulation of La,A 46dB(A) according to the EN 14366 standard, for a discharge flow of 2.0 l/s.
(Test report P-BA6/2021E, tests performed at the Fraunhofer Institute).
Unlike other materials, the acoustic performance of Agilium® cast iron is guaranteed:
• Without technical advice,
• Without addition of specific parts,
• Without specific assembly (gluing, welding, etc...).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Agilium® is our first eco-design, in line with our new environmental roadmap.
The plumbing package at building level
The plumbing package represents less than 5% of a building’s C02 emissions (data from life cycle analysis), according to a sensitivity study conducted in France by the Bastide Bondoux, Pouget and Tribu design offices, on a 4-story office building (4,000 m2). With Agilium®, it is possible to go even further.
20% less CO2 emissions with Agilium®, compared to our current ranges
This performance is validated by comparing our new Agilium® Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) with the one previously available on the environdec database (www.environdec.com).

AGILIUM® Zn
Agilium® Zn is recommended for applications in coastal areas, directly or indirectly exposed to climatic stresses, polluted atmospheres or confined areas such as cellars, crawl spaces. This range may be exposed also to external aggressions during manufacturing processes and condensation.
COATING Pipes
1 External coating: red-brown, acrylic primer paint, average dry film thickness of 40 μm
Anti-corrosive layer: flame-applied zinc metal coating of 260 g/m2 on average
Cast-iron made with the De Lavaud process
Internal coating: two-component ochrecoloured epoxy coating, average dry film thickness of 130 μm
FOCUS ZINC COATING
External coating corrosion resistance test to neutral salt spray of 3500 hours according to standard NF-EN ISO 9227_2017
The zinc metal coating is an active protection provided by the galvanic action of a zinc-iron cell. This action is two-fold:
• Formation of a stable protective layer of insoluble zinc salts,
• Self-repairing of any damage.
Zinc metalisation is an excellent corrosion inhibitor and is extremely effective at extending the lifespan of products subject to backfills or climatic stresses.
Zinc spray coating
Self-repairing action: a white line of zinc salt shows that the damage is completely plugged.
