WJTA Announces Formation of Industrial & Municipal Cleaning Association
The WaterJet Technology Association (WJTA) Board of Directors approved in August the formation of the Industrial & Municipal Cleaning Association, a division of the WJTA.
The Industrial & Municipal Cleaning Association (IMCA) is a special interest group within the association for WJTA members who have an active interest in industrial and municipal cleaning. The purpose of the IMCA is to provide a more focused forum for WJTA members who are involved in industrial cleaning to communicate with each other, share ideas and knowledge, and foster closer collaborations.
Objectives of the group include, but are not limited to:
- Live and online workshops, meetings, webinars, and other educational programs focused on issues specific to industrial cleaning;
- Establishment and periodic review of recommended safety and operational practices;
- Representation before legislative and regulatory bodies; and
- Access to industry experts for consultation, networking, and/or troubleshooting.
WJTA and IMCA will host the inaugural WJTA – IMCA Expo on August 17-19, 2010, at the George R. Brown (GRB) Convention Center in Houston, Texas. The WJTA – IMCA Expo will feature an expanded exhibit hall and boot camp sessions for individuals and companies in the waterjet and industrial vacuuming industries, including applications in precision waterjet cutting, industrial cleaning, and other applications in the manufacturing, mining, construction, and process industries.
