PLASTIC PIPES
TEPPFA launches campaign to highlight pipes' suitability for sewerage systems / Four national trade associations focus on product's benefits in engineering projects
The European Plastic Pipes and Fittings Association (TEPPFA, Brussels / Belgium; www.teppfa.eu) has launched an international campaign aimed at highlighting the benefits of plastic pipes for below-ground sewerage systems. Aimed at the underground engineering and utilities sector, the campaign, entitled "Discover: Plastics", will focus on the suitability of plastic pipes in sewer and stormwater applications.
TEPPFA will be curating the campaign, in partnership with the British Plastics Federation (BPF, London / UK; www.bpf.co.uk), the Kunststoffrohrverband (Bonn / Germany; www.krv.de), the Syndicat des Tubes et Raccords en PVC (Paris / France; www.str-pvc.org) and Polskie Stowarzyszenie Producentów Rur i Ksztaltek z Tworzyw Sztucznych (Torun / Poland; www.prik.pl).
The campaign will feature a dedicated knowledge hub, via a specialist microsite, which will collate the results of multiple wide-ranging studies into the performance and behaviour of plastic pipes when used for sewers.
Chairman of TEPPFA’s Applications Group, Civils, Floris Borderwijk, said, “We know civil engineers are passionate about the quality of their designs, and by collating this wide range of compelling evidence, we can demonstrate that plastics display all the qualities required of a long-lasting sewer pipe system.”
The campaign followed the Plastic Pipes Conference Association (PPCA; www.plasticpipesconference.com) event held in Johannesburg / South Africa in early September 2017 and several weeks before a second spin-off conference in Hangzhou, Zhejiang / China from 26-27 October 2017, hosted by the China Plastics Piping Association (PPIA, Beijing / China; www.ppia-china.com – see Plasteurope.com of 21.09.2017).
