AMI is pleased to announce a new event: Pipeline Coating 2009 will take place from 26-28 January 2009 at 'The Imperial Riding School Vienna a Renaissance Hotel', Vienna, Austria. The conference starts with registration and an evening drinks reception on the first day, followed by a 2-day programme of expert presentations.

In conjunction with high oil prices, this trend has generated a remarkable increase in pipeline construction and pipeline-related activities. This is not just a quantitative change, but also a qualitative one: the technical requirements are ever more demanding, as pipelines are required to operate under harsher conditions of service. For the pipe coating industry, the challenge is therefore to keep pace with these developments.
