The annual Waterpoof Membranes conference, organized by UK-based Applied Market Information (AMI), holds its 7th edition this December 10-12 in Dusseldorf, Germany. The conference routinely includes a mix of geotechnical and architectural barrier presentations—market statistics and trends, manufacturing advances, new materials, application expansion, and more.
AMI is offering a savings of €100 on registrations received by November 8.
For those in the geosynthetics industry, Waterproof Membranes 2013 offers a number of connection points, such as presentations on landfill caps, geomembrane resistance to radon and soil bacteria, reinforced geomembrane applications, and reactive geo-materials.
Other issues to be explored include manufacturing efficiency, under-barrier condensation, bio-based EPDM elastomers, green roofing, and photovoltaic floating covers.
