2. Thermoplastic sewage wells. Frequently asked questions.
3. Thermoplastic sewage pipes. Frequently asked questions.
4. Ten steps to a well made installation.
II. The PRiK’s standpoint on circumferential rigidity of thermoplastic sewage pipes was published (for a fee) in three specialist magazines. Ten articles were published or submitted to editorial offices, in most cases these were reports presented at the conference in Bielsko Biała.
III. At the fair Wod-Kan, an area of 9 square metres was rented for an information stand. A conference room was rented for a conference organized by PRiK, PE100+ and PVC4Pipes. Organizers of the fair Wod-Kan did not ensure a proper marking of the way leading to the conference room located on the second floor of Łuczniczka Hall. It brought about that a minimal number of participants took part in the conference.
During the discussion the problem of purposefulness of organizing a conference during a fair was raised. Current experiences show that potential participants of a conference come mainly to see an exhibition and they have no time for participation in a conference.
IV. The Association co-organized the 70-year anniversary conference of the Katowice Branch of the Polish Association of Sanitary Engineers and Technicians in Katowice, and five representatives of PRiK took active part in the conference (reports).
