Five Major Topics for Further Action Identified by IKT’s New International Contact Group on Sewerage Issues
The options and opportunities for joint initiatives were discussed at this first online meeting of the international partners and friends of IKT. Five topics have been identified to take forward for joint actions:
- CIPP and quality control
- Sewer pressure pipes: operation and rehabilitation
- Liquid soil/flowable backfill material
- Sustainable management/asset management of sewer systems
- Flushable wipes and sewer blockages
The results and suggestions for further action are summarized in this paper.
Each of these actions will be supported by an International Advisory Board (IAB) that IKT is recruiting. If you are interested in participating in one or more of these actions please let us know.The project coordinator for all of these is Thomas Brüggemann of IKT.
