Pipefitting competition

Excitement until the very end at the World Championships Pipefitting!

After a great success in 2022 we present you the Pipefitting Competition at Aquatech 2023 with the World Championship Pipefitting.

This year is the 15th edition of the Pipefitting Competition, an anniversary edition.

Teams will compete against each other and against the very best Dutch water companies. The competition includes mechanics, as well as a ladies competition, a rookie race and a competition between the management teams.

Waternetwerk (Royal Netherlands Waternetwork) started pipefitting competitions in 1996 to promote the profession of pipefitting and craftsmanship.
Come cheer on the teams at stand 03.118 in hall 3.

Organised together with KNW Commissie Fitterijwedstrijden

Rules of play

The teams consist of two people (a borer and a fitter) and a coach. The intention is that they tap a 150 mm GN / C drinking water distribution pipe under pressure as quickly as possible, then connect the connecting pipe to a meter assembly and connect it to a tap. When water comes out of the tap, it is over and the time is stopped. During the competitions, at least two referees assess the participants on quality, craftsmanship, and whether all rules and safety requirements have been met.
