IKT – Institute for Underground Infrastructure

Online Seminars: IKT Launches 6x Expert Knowledge Transfer Webinars

IKT has spent 25 years addressing the issues sewer network owners have in extending the life of ageing assets, through practical research of the problems they are encountering. Using this, we provide extensive knowledge sharing and training to the German sewer network owners and now we are sharing this in the English language in a series of 6 live webinars, from 30th April 2020.

Webinar titles

1. Rehabilitation of Sewer Manholes
2. CIPP Liner Rehabilitation – Quality Issues and Quality Assurance
3. Trees and Pipes – Preventing Root Damage
4. Repair of lateral sewers
5. TFBM – Temporarily flowable self-compacting backfill materials in sewer construction
6. Decentralised Surface Water Treatment

Webinars can also be booked individually.

Research and practical application

In these webinars, the current findings from IKT‘s practical research for sewer network owners will be summarised for each topic, together with the relevant recommendations for their practical application. They will also raise your awareness about where relevant IKT reports and information resources can be found. The speakers give their presentations live in a virtual seminar room and are available for questions and discussions. Dr Iain Naismith, Senior Research Associate at IKT, will lead through these sessions.
