At IKT-Institute for Underground Infrastructure, Germany, researchers, aborists and network operators will meet to discuss problems and solutions.
Symposium
In 1998 IKT (http://www.ikt.de) started working on projects dealing with root penetration into sewers. Actually IKT is working on four "root"-projects with various objectives, all to reduce the conflict between trees and underground infrastructure.
Furthermore COST C15 (http://www.lt.slu.se) was working on strategies improving the relation between technical infrastructure and vegetation and preventing conflicts by an international, interdisciplinary approach.
The International Symposium "Trees and Underground Pipes" will serve as a perfect venue to exchange the actual results of interdisciplinary research, to discuss technical and organisational solutions and to create cooperation for further research.
Accompanying Exhibition
The conference is accompanied by a technical exhibition. Suppliers of pipes, root-protection-systems, substrates etc. are invited to present and demonstrate their products.
The working language for the symposium will be English.
Who should attend:
- Pipeline network operators
- Pipe manufacturers
- Pipe maintenace/rehabilitation managers
- Arboriculturalists

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
