THE NETWORKS
CROSS AT SINERGY
From November 3rd to 5th, Rimini Fiera will host the
only expo
able to represent the utility network world completely.
Ample
space dedicated to the telecommunications sector. Rimini,
2nd May 2004 - thanks to
an efficient sales campaign for exhibit space and simultaneous
communication
activities, the 2004 edition of SINERGY – TECHNICAL
NETWORKS ON SHOW, being held at Rimini Fiera from Wednesday
3rd to Friday 5th November 2004, continues to go from
strength to strength.
Organizers Rimini Fiera and Cenacolo
explain, “Within
the summer, we’ll present the conference section’s
program, to emphasize our interest in proposing an
event that hosts discussions on the Italian utility
network situation alongside a high profile expo area.
We all know the delicate nature of the problems and
difficulties slowing down any real progress of this
sector’s modern development in Italy. The intent
of SINERGY 2004 – TECHNICAL NETWORKS ON SHOW
is to offer an important contribution to the innovation
process which can’t be postponed any longer,
otherwise our technical deficit will increase even
further”.
The interest of key players at Italian
and international level is focussed on the exhibition
event, confirming
the need for a meeting point useful for discussing
the projects and experiences under way in the utility
network world.
Trade sectors being showcased by
SINERGY 2004 – Technical
Networks on Show include: gas electricity, water, telecom
and data transport and distribution networks; the design,
construction and management of utility networks; production,
supply and sale of energy sources; network equipment,
components and measurement instruments; ICT applied
to technical networks; marketing, communications and
training; trade press.
In short, SINERGY 2004 intends
being a ‘vade-mecum’ for
all this sector’s trade members who want to find
real elements on which to project and work, thanks
to a series of conferences and workshop organized by
major business and scientific associations, with a
particular accent on the legislative and normative
problems of this dynamic sector, which still has shortcomings.
The
event’s cultural heart remains as announced,
i.e. implementation of the directives established for
the planning of the services installed underground,
in particular a directive of Italy’s Prime Minister
(3rd March 1999, Official Gazette 11.3.1999 N° 58)
that defines the "Rational organization of
underground technical systems”. according to which provincial “capitals” and
towns with a resident population of over 30,000 inhabitants,
or those visited by large numbers of tourists, must
draw up an organic plan for rational use of the subsoil
(PUGSS - General town plan of underground services),
which must be part of the general town-planning scheme
One
of the most important new aspects from an expo point
of view at the 2004 edition of SINERGY – TECHNICAL
NETWORKS ON SHOW will be the area dedicated to telecommunications,
particularly companies involved in the entire chain
of this constantly evolving sector.
This zone will host city cabling and equipping companies,
manufacturers of signal reception equipment and network
management firms. The expo area will also showcase
products for utility network management.
After the boom due to the installation of fibre optics
networks, for which costs and environmental impact
(road works, etc.) were very high, new wireless network
technology ensures the same performance and operating
quality is guaranteed. This enables networks to include
suburban areas, which would otherwise be difficult
to reach.
SINERGY 2004 – TECHNICAL NETWORKS ON
SHOW will also offer a comprehensive overview of the
emerging
situation on the local TLC market, including those
ex-municipal companies offering combined environment
and energy services and approaching the telecommunications
world to complete the package offered to their clients.
After a period of in which they moved away from these
markets, public utility management companies are now
showing renewed interest in this market and, during
the Rimini event, it will be very interesting to see
exactly the extent of this interest.
Lastly, the Sinergy
2004 organizing committee, in collaboration with SAFE
(Energy Source Environmental
Sustainability) has announced three Scholarships, which
will be awarded to university students intending to
undertake the preparation of a degree thesis, to be
disputed within July 2005.
The deadline for sending applications is 30th June
2004. The winners’ award ceremony and the presentation
of the theses will held at Sinergy 2005 and the value
of the scholarships has been set at 1,000 euros each.

Article n.1 TECHNICAL
NETWORKS ON SHOW IN RIMINI
FROM 3rd TO 5th NOVEMBER 2004
Rimini, 30th March 2004 - The Sinergy project, launched with the Energy Forum
in 2003, has a new slant in the
event dedicated to technical (utility) networks. SINERGY
2004 – NETWORKS TECHNICAL ON SHOW is an absolutely
new event for Italy and intends facing the various
aspects of the issue, covering it from a normative,
technical and managerial point of view.
Rimini Fiera and
Cenacolo, the organizers of the SINERGY project,
have launched this expo and conference initiative,
which will present the most advanced solutions for
the design, construction and management of utility
networks used to transport energy, water and telecom
services.
Among the most important issues that
will be covered at SINERGY 2004 – Technical Networks
on Show, the rational use of subsoil, particularly
regarding
installation and management of utilities located underground.
As is known, Italian legislators set criteria and norms
for the planning of services running underground and,
in particular, a directive of the Prime Minister (3rd
March 1999, Official Gazette 11.3.1999 N° 58) defines
the "Rational organization of underground
technical systems”. The aim is to ensure public administrations
a new instrument for city land planning which, when
used alongside and integrated with those already existing,
enables subsoil use to be programmed and disciplined.
On the basis of this directive, the provincial “capital” and
towns with a resident population of over 30,000 inhabitants
or those with temporary increases in population due
to seasonal tourism, had to draw up (within a five-year
period and depending on the resources available) an
organic plan for rational use of the subsoil; the PUGSS
(General town plan of underground services), which
must be part of the general town planning scheme and
will have to be put into practice according to the
town development procedure.
An example that can be taken as a starting point is
Lombardy Regional Law N° 26 of 12.12.2003 which,
in a norm regarding the management of waste, energy,
use of subsoil and water resources (in Art. 34) establishes
criteria for the realization of infrastructures for
installing aqueducts, sewage, energy and gas transport
networks, telecommunications, remote heating and cables
underground. The infrastructure, as is written in the
norm, is considered a work of public utility and considered
as primary urbanization works to all effects.
However, too little has been done in this direction
and the aim of SINERGY 2004 Technical Networks on Show,
in collaboration with the key utility system players,
is to offer a more rapid realization procedure.
In the
context of SINERGY 2004 Technical Networks on Show,
there will also be numerous conferences coordinated
by the event’s scientific committee and dedicated
to the hottest topics in the utility network world.
Trade
sectors spotlighted at SINERGY 2004 Networks on Show
are: gas, electricity, water, telecommunications
and data transport and distribution networks; design,
construction and management of utility networks;
production, supply and sale of energy sources (gas,
electricity
and water); energy equipment, system components and
measurement instruments; ICT applied to technical
networks; marketing, communications and training; trade
press.
