Major r&d projects
INITIATIVES OF THE R&D DEPARTMENT
The scope of the R&D activities within the new industrial processes is to develop those parts of the processes which fit the needs of MM.
Examples:
| Water potabilization techniques |
| Remote meter reading for the Integrated Water Service |
| Energy-saving technologies | Modelling Integrated Water Service networks |
| Optic fibre cable-laying techniques in sewers |
| As-built specification development |
| Economic, environmental, social sustainability development |
| Lifecycle cost and material recycling |
| New energy and environmental standards |
| Energy saving and efficiency, heat recovery |
In the application of experimental products, R&D is involved in the following projects:
| Availability of the technical data to the maintenance teams in real time |
| Pipe relining techniques using heat-hardening resins |
| Anti-graffiti and vandalproof products and materials | Waterproofing of existing underground structures |
| Insulation against noise and vibration during maintenance work |
| New indoor / outdoor flooring |
| Application of nanotechnology |
| Expanding fireproofing materials |
| Super capacitors as alternative energy storage |
| Wireless communication |
