PLASTIC PIPES IN INFRASTRUCTURE | EVENT PREVIEW


Senior Engineer, Global Segment Pipe & Utilities at SABIC, will then share a practical presentation on how to respond to environmental changes through water management. Keith Mole, International Business Manager at McElroy follows with some case studies on the latest technologies for fusion welding, then Josef Dobrowsky, Managing Director of Conextru takes the event to the break with a talk about new applications and performanc- es of pipes with die set rotation leads. Following afternoon tea, Márton Bredács,


Researcher at Polymer Competence Center Leoben, delivers a presentation on models to assess the effect of chlorine dioxide on the lifetime of polyethylene pipe grades. Dieter Müller, Sales Manager Pipe Insulation at Hennecke then talks about the benefits of pipeline insulation by PU spraying. The session is concluded by Miki Burmil of Miki


Burmil Consulting talking about plastic manholes to improve infrastructure systems.


Testing times Delegates will gain comprehensive insights into testing, certification and standardisation during the next session. Dr Jürgen Wüst, Deputy Managing Director at SKZ-Testing, will talk about an energy and time saving method for qualifying PE Pipe grades for long-term applications at 40°C. The session continues on the second day of the


conference with a presentation on the influence of ‘onset’ temperature by DSC on U-PVC pipes pressure tests result by Joaquin Lahoz Castillo, Plastic Pipes Specialist at CEIS. Next, Christian Kurdy, Managing Director Middle East & Africa of NSF International, shares his expertise on how standardisation for plastic products can protect public health and safety. The final speaker of the session, Julian West, Product Manager at Trelle- borg Pipe Seals, tells delegates about the evolu- tion of elastomeric joints in plastic pipeline systems and the use of long-term stress relaxation testing to predict service life.


Expert speakers at the conference include (left to right): Ralf Glanert, Technical Account Manager for Infra and Rehabilitation at Wavin; Högni Jónsson, Product Development Manager at Amiblu Technology; and Miki Burmil of Miki Burmil Consulting.


Enhancing durability The next session explores enhancements for pipe durability, and kicks off with a paper from Simona Africano, Application Development Technical Service Engineer at Lyondellbasell, who discusses ways to advance the PP-RCT performance in water pressure pipes. Dow Europe follows next, with a presentation on how raised temperature resistance polyethylene (PE-RT) demonstrates reliable performance in hot and cold applications. Alfeo Bonato, Technical Sales Manager at Bausano, then shares his views on C-PVC processing. The session ends with Professor Alessandro Marangoni, CEO of Althesys, discussing how PVC pipes competi- tiveness should be judged from a total cost of ownership approach.


Quality assured The final session begins with Christian Schalich, Head of Sales, Business Unit Hose & Tube at Sikora, on quality control in diameter, ovality, wall thickness and eccentricity during the extrusion of pipes. Closing the conference Emmeline Aves, a Polymer Technologist at Impact Solutions, will deliver information on quality control and assur- ance measures in water and gas plastic pipelines to reduce drastic failures upon commissioning. As well the presentations, the event offers a


platform to meet professionals from leading organisations at all levels of the supply chain.
