areas in centres of population, the building<br />

of multi-lane roads and the increase in<br />

cost-consciousness and concern for the<br />

environment it is gaining in importance at<br />

absolutely breakneck speed.<br />

The cast iron pipes group will therefore be<br />

making “trenchless laying” the main focus<br />

of its presentation at “Wasser Berlin”, and<br />

will be showing that ductile cast iron pipes<br />

using the BLS ® / VRS-T ® restrained socket<br />

joint are supremely well suited to trenchless<br />

installation. The deflectability of the<br />

joint makes it possible for curves of particularly<br />

tight radiuses to be followed and<br />

it will withstand extremely powerful tractive<br />

forces. Buderus will also be showing<br />

the ZMU pipe as another problem-solver<br />

for all trenchless laying techniques. As a<br />

standardised means of protection for the<br />

exterior of pipes, the outer coating of cement<br />

mortar is particularly well armed<br />

against the mechanical loads and stresses<br />

that occur in trenchless laying.<br />

We can be sure that trade visitors will find<br />

something to interest them about the ductile<br />

cast iron pipes, the BLS ® /VRS-T ® joint<br />

and the cement-mortar coating.<br />

Site Viewing Day on 1 April<br />

To accompany the Fair, the 6th International<br />

Pipeline Symposium organised by<br />

the Berlin-Brandenburg division of the<br />

DVGW (German Technical and Scientific<br />

Association for Gas and Water) will be taking<br />

place on 1 and April. The theme this<br />

year is the particular challenges in pipeline<br />

construction and it will begin in the traditional<br />

way with a site viewing day when<br />

Berliner Wasserbetriebe will invite participants<br />

to visit selected construction sites.<br />

At ten sites, BGW will be showing the outstanding<br />

fitness for purpose of the BLS ®<br />

joint and the ZMU coating. Trenchless laying<br />

techniques will be demonstrated on all<br />

the sites. Visitors will be able to see presspull<br />

techniques, pipe relining, auxiliary pipe<br />

techniques and trenchless re-laying<br />

InterAlpin<br />

Interalpin – The industry’s international meeting<br />

point for Alpine technologies<br />

In Innsbruck trade visitors from all over<br />

the world with an interest in mountain<br />

tourism and alpine infrastructure<br />

will be coming together for Interalpin<br />

which runs from the nd to the 4th<br />

of April to find out about developments in<br />

this increasingly important market.<br />

With a total of 500 exhibitors and 17, 00<br />

visitors from 56 countries, Interalpin 007<br />

beat all previous records and established<br />

itself as the world’s biggest and most important<br />

trade fair for cable car technology,<br />

snowmaking, and snow-clearing vehicles<br />

and equipment. This year the organisers<br />

are expecting another rise in the numbers<br />

of visitors, particularly from Eastern Europe<br />

and Asia. This trend was already apparent<br />

in 007, a particularly striking feature being<br />

the influx of guests from exotic parts of the<br />

world such as Dubai, Brazil, Mexico and<br />

Iran. Even Australians and New Zealanders<br />

were not put off by the long journey. In parallel<br />

with Interalpin, the “Österreichische<br />

Seilbahntagung” (Austrian Cable Car Conference)<br />

will be taking place in Innsbruck<br />

on April 009.<br />

In the fine setting of a 100 square metre<br />

stand, the cast iron pipes group<br />

will be showing not only the tried and<br />

tested ductile cast iron pipes for snow<br />

pipelines but also the DN 50 and 00<br />

socket bends, which are completely new<br />

to the range. Other new products on show<br />

will be the all-socket tees of various nominal<br />

sizes. It will be clear from this that the<br />

range of fittings for snow making is constantly<br />

being optimised to cater for the<br />

many and varied requirements that customers<br />

have.<br />

In Eastern Europe in particular, there are<br />

signs of a boom in new ski resorts which<br />

are being built and “artificial snow” is an<br />

important economic factor. This is why the<br />

cast iron pipes group is expecting to see a<br />

very keen interest being shown in particular<br />

by visitors from this part of the world.<br />

To cater for the wide variety of information<br />

that is going to be asked for, TRM has rewritten<br />

its marketing documents for the<br />

snow and turbine pipes fields and it will be<br />

going into the race properly kitted out with<br />

everything it needs to win.<br />
