The Details
P&F Global Site Tour
Wednesday 14 August 2pm - 5pm
P&F Global welcomes attendees to the 2024 CCNZ conference to come on a site tour of their Invercargill yard.
Come and see one of the largest sites of HDPE pipe in Southland. You can see first-hand the resilience of their pipes as they drop them from great heights. See the future of civil pipe in their SN8 and SN16 pipe. A premium asset with world class abrasion resistance and independently certified to ASNZS5065. See how light the pipes are by physically getting amongst them. Pick them up, slot them together with a wide range of fittings, and walk through the large 2m pipes.
Health and safety requirements mean spots are limited so register early. Each participant will also take away a treat to commemorate their visit.
