Fabricated Geomembrane Institute Offers Graduate Research Grant Opportunity
02/03/2012
The Fabricated Geomembrane Institute (FGI) will offer a $10,000 per year FGI Graduate Research Grant for up to two years (with annual approval). The founding principles of the Fabricated Geomembrane Institute have been research and education. In support of these principles, the Association will award these research funds for an initial two-year period to support ideas that advance the use of fabricated geomembranes in containment applications. Issues that might be explored in the research include formulation, welding, field testing, installation, durability in exposed and unexposed applications, chemical resistance, or any other measure of fabricated geomembrane performance.

In three new reports, Applied Market Information Ltd. (AMI) has documented the established European and North American pipe extrusion industries, as well as the up-and-coming industry of South America. What these reports make evident is that the effects of global recession are still taking their toll on the plastics industry and that the pipe extrusion industry is no exception. But the demand for pipe extrusion in Latin America has been growing strongly, thanks in large part due to a sustained commitment in infrastructure development. Learn more.   ID: 6835
