All Pipe Week activities will be held at TRI Environmental’s Austin, Texas campus.
- October 6 – 7: Corrugated Plastic Pipe
- October 8 – 9: Solid Wall Plastic Pipe
The training courses, which may be taken individual or as a set, emphasize how plastic pipe performance is related to its raw material and additive formulations and how proper laboratory characterization and interpretation of test results is crucial to successful product qualification and use. The courses provide details on how corrugated and solid wall pipes are manufactured, specified, installed, inspected, and ultimately approved. This includes the numerous polymeric variations with pipes that are utilized in infrastructure and industry.
Pipe Week training is a strong opportunity for professional growth and business development for all sectors of plastic pipe-related engineering.
