TAUP 2007 International Symposium Trees and Underground Pipes - Busting the myths -
in cooperation with
30 min. from D�sseldorf
In urban areas trees grow in the vicintity of sewers, drains and service pipes. Their roots grow into cracks and pipe connections. This leads to a couple of conflicts between trees and underground pipes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Symposium In 1998 IKT started to work 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. At the same time the EU-project COST C15 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 recent results of interdisciplinary research, to discuss technical and organisational solutions and to create cooperation for further research. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accompanying Exhibition The conference is accompanied by an technical exhibition. Suppliers of pipes, root-protection-systems, substrates etc. are invited to present and demonstrate their products. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
