CTG ABINT Will Hold Course on Geomembrane Installation at IMT from August 13 to 16, Focused on Training Installers with Updated Techniques and Sustainable Development.

The Technical Committee on Geosynthetics of the Brazilian Association of Nonwoven and Technical Fabrics Industries (CTG ABINT) will promote the Geothermal Installation Course at the Mauá Institute of Technology. This initiative, scheduled to take place from August 13 to 16, aims to equip professionals with the most advanced techniques, prioritizing sustainable development.

During the event, a group of specialized instructors will provide a comprehensive practical and theoretical learning environment. The main goal of the Geomembrane Placement Training is to ensure quality and efficiency in installations. In addition to theoretical classes, there will be practical sessions for better absorption of the taught techniques. Participate in the Geothermal Installation Course and elevate your skills to the next level.

Geothermal Installation Course

Between August 13 and 16, the Mauá Institute of Technology (IMT), located in São Paulo, will host the ‘Paulo Kenji Açakura’ Geothermal Installation Course. This is the second edition of the course, named in honor of Eng. Paulo Açakura, a pioneer in the installation of geomembranes in Brazil. The initiative will bring together a select group of highly qualified professionals, aiming to train installers using the latest technologies in geomembrane installation while ensuring quality. Participants will have the opportunity to attend theoretical classes, but this year’s focus will be on practical applications, aiming to enhance the professional development of those involved.

Geomembrane Placement Training

For Dr. Fernando Lavoie, current coordinator of CTG ABINT, the second edition of this course is essential for the development of the market for geomembranes and the contribution of this industry to engineering, infrastructure, and construction projects. ‘Sharing knowledge about techniques and innovations in the application of geomembranes and best practices that ensure the quality of using these materials is a commitment we have undertaken. This contributes to the sustainable development of Brazil,’ Lavoie states. One of the central objectives of IMT is to support the development of highly qualified professionals, working to train installers for the challenges of the current market.

The event will begin on August 13 at 9 am, with the opening conducted by representatives from CTG ABINT and the Mauá Institute of Technology. Among the topics to be addressed are the preparation and welding of geomembranes, construction quality verification (CQC/CQA), extrusion welding methods, and the importance of CQC.

Technologies Focused on Geomembrane Installation

Dr. Julio Ferreira will be one of the keynote speakers, discussing methods for preparing and welding geomembranes, organizing inspection teams, and achieving zero damage in the installation of geomembranes covered by soil, solid waste, or liquids. Eng. Thiago Costa, Director of Tecnoplás Engenharia, will talk about normative procedures, pipe interference with the geomembrane, and installation practices, as well as examples of poor and good practices in the welding process. ‘Our goal is to teach not only the installers but also the inspectors and buyers of geomembranes,’ Costa explains. ‘Identifying market adventurers and ensuring the quality of the works is crucial,’ he completes.

Eng. César Botelho will lecture on extrusion welding and the positioning and welding of panels in the field. The practical part of the event will be conducted by Eng. Luduik Rosales, including a fusion welding championship and non-destructive testing.

Development of Qualified Professionals

Additionally, Eng. Indiara Giugni, a geosynthetics consultant, will conduct three lectures: characteristics of HDPE geomembranes, pipe interferences, and PVC geomembranes. She emphasizes the need for installers, welders, and inspectors to understand the properties of different geomembranes to ensure durability and quality. ‘The quality of the material is essential, but it can be compromised by inadequate installation,’ warns Indiara. She will also coordinate the IAGI CWT Certification Exam, exclusive for HDPE geomembrane welders, on August 16.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

Xiaomi launches new smart stove with titanium sensor and automatic shutdown that detects an open flame without supervision.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Paleontologists spent 5 years excavating the Sahara and found the first new Spinosaurus in over 100 years — the 8-meter predator had a 50-centimeter crest on its skull similar to Elvis’s pompadour and hunted giant fish in rivers that no longer exist.

An engine that consumes 40% less gasoline than the average new car already exists and runs on 100% renewable fuel that costs only 10 cents more per liter at Repsol stations.

Starting in 2027, stores will only be able to sell refrigerators of categories A, B, and C, which are, on average, 17% more energy efficient, and the change promises to reduce almost 6 million tons of carbon dioxide by 2030.
