Plastic Pressure Pipes 2007 is an international conference
organised by Applied Market Information Ltd for the pipe
industry. The construction industry likes to work with proven
materials and plastic pipes are now in that category - research
and more than half a century of experience have shown that
plastics materials are reliable and offer many additional
benefits. Plastic pipe markets are expanding across the globe
and polymer specialists are working on refining grades of
materials to meet new challenges.
This conference brings together a top programme of experts
from across the Plastic Pressure Pipes industry to discuss the
important issues: markets, costs, efficient pipe production,
joining methods, UV resistance, testing, new materials,
and hands on experience with plastic pipes in water and
gas applications.
If you are involved in the pressure pipes industry, this event is
for you. There are opportunities to network with a whole
range of companies and pipe professionals. Take a short time
out of the office to refresh your knowledge of the high-tech
marketplace for Plastic Pressure Pipes.
