For all of you who are coming over to Germany in May for IFAT 2018, the world’s largest trade fair on sewage, we are warmly inviting you to also use this opportunity to visit IKT on Friday, May 18 for our IKT International Day at our laboratory in Gelsenkirchen.
Non-destructive testing in sewers using the MAC system provides dependable data for structural assessment and, where necessary, selection of a rehabilitation method. by Martin Liebscher, Mark Klameth, Stefan Bretz and Henning Winter There is a need for rehabilitation of large interceptor sewers for three reasons: hydraulic capacity, leak tightness and stability.
At their first web conference members of IKT’s newly formed International Contact Group (ICG) met recently to make contact and to discuss current issues concerning sewer systems. The participants, from eleven countries on four continents, identified major topics for further action through more detailed exchange of ideas, seminars or joint projects.
There were excellent CIPP liner results for the individual test criteria, but only one in four of the rehabilitation contractors succeeded in a 100% pass on all tests conducted on their samples. However, five years ago this figure was only one in five, so the overall trend is upward.
This Master Course is for international specialists, product and service providers who want to refresh their knowledge. It uses core elements from a university master course by Professor Bert Bosseler, Scientific Director of IKT, supported by case studies from international standardization at CEN and ISO. You will have the opportunity to meet and network with attendees coming from all industry sectors: clients, contractors, designers, consultants, suppliers and manufacturers.
The “I” in “IKT” doesn’t actually stand for “International”, but that’s not stopping anybody at the IKT from working with partners from around the world. One result of cooperation with the International Right of Way Association (IRWA), an e-learning opportunity can now be booked and accessed on-line.
