Vestra, a Romanian company with over 25 years of experience in the utilities and automation equipment industry, recognized for providing innovative solutions for the water supply and sewage services sector, will participate in ExpoApa 2023, the reference event in the field. The exhibition will take place from May 23 to 25, 2023, at the REDAL EXPO Pavilion in Sibiu.

Vestra reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development and brings state-of-the-art technologies and customized solutions to ExpoApa 2023 that meet the needs of the Romanian water supply and sewage services industry. At the two exhibition stands, indoor and outdoor, the cluster will present a diverse range of advanced equipment and systems, designed to streamline and improve processes in this vital sector.

At the Vestra outdoor stand, one of the equipment of interest is the MISTRAL range of special vehicles, produced by the French group RIVARD. This hydraulic sewer cleaner is equipped with a tank that can be divided into two or three sections, lobe vacuum pumps with a strong suction force, high-pressure pumps and can be equipped with a filtration system for recycling wastewater. To date, Vestra has delivered over 35 MISTRAL special vehicles to important companies in the water and sewage distribution sector in Romania.

Vestra will also present the Stream DP georadar from IDS GeoRadar, an Italian manufacturer of non-invasive monitoring and inspection equipment. This is an instrument that allows the detection and underground imaging of various objects and structures, such as water pipes, electrical cables and other underground elements.

At the same time, the products of Enz® Technik Ag, a leading Swiss manufacturer of sewer cleaning heads, will be presented. These include ceramic nozzles with a specially treated stainless steel body, which allow for efficient and precise cleaning of sewer pipes.

As a sustainable alternative for transporting equipment and materials in urban areas, Vestra will present the Renault Trucks E-Tech Master electric truck. This vehicle with an innovative design, equipped with a powerful electric motor and an operational range of up to 200 kilometers, offers a transport solution with zero emissions and no noise pollution. The Renault Trucks E-Tech Master can be adapted to meet various customer requirements, being an excellent choice for those interested in reliable and high-performance electric vehicles.

In addition to all this, the Vestra outdoor stand will present the EvGo charging stations for fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, which include the Smart Charging function. This innovative functionality allows dynamic charging management, ensuring vehicle charging even in situations where optimal parameters cannot be ensured in the electricity supply network. EvGo stations are easy to install and can be used both in urban and rural areas.

At the indoor stand, Vestra will present products from the French manufacturer Sainte-Lizaigne, including E-cub above-ground service chambers, Regrad underground service chambers, anti-burglary brass valves and brass compression fittings. All of these products are designed to meet the highest standards of safety and durability.

Also on display will be products from CONFUNCO, a Spanish company that offers high-quality technical solutions for civil engineering. Among them will be the Voyager-D400 manhole cover, cast in ductile iron, with high-security elastic safety closure and ergonomic one-motion lifting.

In addition, the cluster will present and demonstrate the Temetra software platform from the American company Itron, which allows the use of LoRaWAN technology (or other IoT technologies) to collect data from meters. LoRaWAN is one of the most advanced solutions for remote meter reading, which allows the collection of data on water or energy consumption without requiring direct human intervention, contributing to efficient and transparent resource management.
