The International Symposium on Aerodynamics, Ventilation and Fire in Tunnels (ISAVFT) took place in Copenhagen from 28 to 30 October 2024, and we are delighted that two of our colleagues – Sander Wirth (Group Manager Tunnel & Metro Systems) and Jonas Flatter (Application and Sales Engineer) – had the opportunity to attend.
ISAVFT provides an important platform for experts, researchers and professionals to discuss current challenges and advances in tunnel engineering. The symposium focuses on aspects such as aerodynamics, ventilation and fire protection in tunnels, which are essential components of modern infrastructure. In addition to lectures from prestigious keynote speakers, the event provides an opportunity to discuss operating experience, maintenance issues and system failures as well as findings from tunnel fires and similar incidents.
Thanks to the invitation of our partner company Mosen Ltd. and in particular the support of Fathi Tarada (Managing Director), we were able to be directly represented at ISAVFT and thus had the opportunity to engage in personal dialogue with potential customers and experts. “It was impressive to see how many innovative approaches were presented here. The discussions were not only informative, but also inspiring for our future projects,” says S. Wirth.
S. Wirth and J. Flatter took the opportunity to hold in-depth discussions with potential customers and industry experts. Particularly noteworthy was the exchange with tunnel and motorway operators as well as global design offices. Of particular interest were the upcoming comparative measurements of conventional jet fans and MoJets in a new tunnel in Switzerland early next year.
The visit was an excellent opportunity for us to gain insights into current industry trends, make valuable contacts and strengthen existing partnerships. We look forward to incorporating the knowledge gained and new ideas into our current and future projects.
