IKT has now founded a branch at Arnhem, in the Netherlands: IKT director Roland W. Waniek and branch manager Peter Brink recently celebrated the opening of “IKT Nederland”. Dutch and Flemish drain/sewer system operators thus now have a new contact for all matters concerning drain and sewer operation. This new IKT centre provides technical engineering advice, organises relevant events, and is the first accredited test centre for CIPP liners in the Netherlands.

Following its opening at the start of the year, the still young branch was able to achieve a major success the following summer: after intensive preparatory work, the IKT Netherlands test facility was officially accredited with “DAkkS”, Germany’s national accreditation body. “It is thus the first independent, impartial and accredited test facility for CIPP liners on the Dutch market”, enthuses Peter Brink, head of IKT Netherlands.
