Sino French Seminar in Chongqong, May 29-30th 2013

In the spirit of promoting consistent quality at the highest level in the use of PE pipe systems while refraining from positioning them aggressively versus other plastic pipes, the PE100+ Association has been active in two important industry events across Asia in May 2013.

From May 29-30^th, Sino French Water, SFW, organized its 2013 Non Revenue Water Seminar in Chongqing, China. They had over 50 delegates from the SFW Headquarters, its 9 JVs, Macao Water, Chongqing Water and some product/services suppliers. The topics of the seminar covered pipe materials, leak detection, pressure management, metering and GIS&HM. Regarding PE, a presentation from Mike Shepherd – commissioned by the PE100+ Association – was found very interesting by the delegates and it was decided to adopt Mike’s proposal on the PE pipe service connection and pipe repair methods. SFW thanked the PE100+ Association: “In the last year and this year, we have brought plenty of information on PE pipes to our JVs, they have got better understanding of PE pipes. Thanks a lot for your continuous contribution to our NRW Seminars and to our PE applications, which is a big part of our network optimizing policy. And we believe that we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.”
