IPLOCA Member Project Near IPLOCA Offices

Together with its partners Induni and Scrasa, IPLOCA member, Denys, is installing 1.9 km of reinforced concrete pipes with a steel sheet core by means of pipe jacking, passing close to IPLOCA’s Secretariat offices.

This uncommon type of pipe is made by Denys’ daughter company SOCEA. It will result in an insulated pipeline with a concrete lining, capable of withstanding an internal pressure of 16 bars. The pipeline will be used by their client SIG (Services Industriels de Genève) for the Génilac project. This is a district heating project, using the lake water to cool and heat buildings in the centre of Geneva. The first of six drives started in August of this year, and the last drive is expected to finish in September 2022.

Season’s Greetings

IPLOCA’s Board of Directors and the staff of the Secretariat would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the work of the Association during another challenging year.

Once again, the world sanitary situation has highlighted our appreciation of your friendships and we are also grateful to you for your expertise and the time you have shared with us. In 2022 we look forward to meeting up more regularly face-to-face. Our very best wishes for a healthy, safe and revitalised new year!
