Don’t miss out on registration to Ozpipe 2024.

Hosted by the Plastics Industry Pipe Association (PIPA), come and join the two-day global networking event from the 11–13 November 2024 at the Intercontinental Sydney. This conference will be showcasing a range of technical papers presenting by pipe experts from both Australian and around the world. These papers will highlight the technical achievements and solutions for plastic pipe systems and identify growth opportunities and trends within the industry.

The full program is now available, with 30 papers to be presented across two days, covering topics including:

  • Global sustainability insights: Discussions on core strategies towards carbon neutrality including insights from China and Europe
  • The environment and water security: Topics including microplastics, environmental product declarations and water main break studies
  • Design: Methods on large diameter structured wall pipes, flexible buried pipes comparisons using finite element analysis and standards
  • Innovation: Long-term performance of materials, manufacturing and installation
  • Hydrogen: Effects of hydrogen on plastic pipes
  • Recycling: Improving mechanical recycling, advancements of recycling and integrating recycled content into plastic pipes
  • Case studies: A wide array of case studies focuses on large diameter, thick wall PE pipes, welding, and effects of elevated temperatures of PE pipe under highway loadings.

Bearing the theme ‘Sustainable Infrastructure – The Future is Now’, PIPA executive general manager Cindy Bray said: “Sustainability is key to everything we value and produce – from the materials we use, design through to manufacturing, supply to performance of our pipe systems during installation and through their entire service life and beyond.”

“If you are a manufacturer or supplier of plastic pipes and fittings, equipment or a specifier, engineer, designer or end user of plastic pipe systems, this is the conference for you,

“Not only will there be an extensive range of papers presented, but there is also the opportunity to view exhibitors and explore poster presentations.”
