Abstract
This symposium was organised by the Road, Traffic and
Geotechnical
Laboratory of the Technical Research Centre of Finland
(VTT) and
The Finnish-French Association for Scientific and
Technical Research.
The interest of the Road, Traffic and Geotechnical
Laboratory was in
connection with the research work conducted in the field
of water
supply. The Finnish-French Association for Scientific and
Technical
Research organises yearly several symposiums between
France and
Finland on many fields of technology together with its
counterpart in
France.
The Finnish papers are mainly State-of-the-Art report of
the
administration and management of water supply and
sewerage in
Finland. Included are papers covering the technology of
drinking
water purification and the biological treatment of waste
water of the
pulp and paper industry. The use of databases in
connection with
municipal networks are presented. The up-to-day
development of
plastic pipes is presented by UPONOR one of the biggest
companies
in the plastic pipes industry in the world.
The French papers cover more specific topics. In addition
to the
general information on the French water distribution
management,
there are papers dealing with applications used in water
purification
such as the use of ozone and granular activated carbon
(GAC). The
use of databases and relevant computer applications are
discussed as
well. An interesting application of water meter
protection against cold
is also presented.
In connection to the symposium the following technical
visits were
arranged:
UPONOR Plastic Pipe Factory,
Water and Sewage Works of City of Helsinki and
Tuusula Region Water Works.
The seminar provided opportunities to exchange
information and
research results in many areas of expertise, but also to
establish
contacts on a more personal basis.
