13 Jan FITT renews its presence at CGLE 2025 with the Bluforce system and the new FITT Sewer ICE solution!
Carrefour des Gestions Locales de l’Eau 2025 is the key annual event for all operators in the water sector, to be held in France at the Parc des Expositions in Rennes on 22 and 23 January.
Once again this year, FITT will be present at the French show to present its dedicated infrastructure solutions.
Also present at the event will be ATE, a French company specialising in drainage pipes for the construction, infrastructure and civil sectors, which became part of the FITT Group in February 2024. This acquisition consolidates FITT’s presence in the French market, bringing production and distribution logistics closer to customers and end users.
Carrefour des Gestions Locales de l’Eau will be an opportunity to discover FITT’s infrastructure solutions. A range recently enriched by a new solution for pressure sewer systems and gravity manifolds.
FITT Bluforce: the first PVC-A (PVC-HI) product range to achieve EPD® marking in Europe
Thanks to the innovative PVC-A (PVC-HI)* technology, FITT Bluforce offers maximum ductility, resistance to crack propagation, and, therefore, reliability over time, allowing a significant reduction in maintenance activities on the finished works, and therefore a fully safe use of the infrastructure. FITT Bluforce features enhanced performance thanks to the Power Lock, the socket-based pipe jointing system with the seal mechanically hot-inserted in advance, which transforms the pipe into a complete system ensuring easy assembly, perfect operation and optimal tightness over time.
FITT Bluforce is the first PVC-A (PVC-HI) product range to achieve EPD® marking in Europe, the environmental product declaration that provides certified data on the life cycle of products, following the ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2012 + A2:2019 international standards.
FITT Bluforce RJ: the innovative pipe system in latest generation restraint joint polymer alloy PVC-A (PVC-HI)
FITT Bluforce RJ is the Europe’s first thermoplastic pipe with restraint joint system Bulldog®. The mechanical seal and the hydraulic tightness achieved with the tensile resistant gasket allow easy, fast and safe installation without the need for thrust blocks, even on steep slopes and landslide prone terrains
Like FITT Bluforce, FITT Bluforce RJ is also EPD® certified, a guarantee of reliability and transparency on the environmental impacts of the PVC-A (PVC-HI)* water system.
FITT Sewer ICE: the first PVC-U pipe with both UNI EN 1401 and UNI EN ISO 1452 certification
FITT Sewer ICE is the new PVC-U pipe for pressure sewer systems and gravity manifolds with both UNI EN 1401 and UNI EN ISO 1452 certification and, therefore, KIWA-UNI marked.
The ice crystal feature confirms its particular shock resistance capability at 0°, as required by the ISO 3127 standard, and also the fulfilment of the UNI EN 1401 additional requirement, which guarantees shock resistance down to -10°C (ISO 11173).
FITT Sewer ICE is the only EN UNI EN 1401 pipe that can guarantee the transport of pressurised fluids with a 50-year MRS (compared to other SN16 pipes and materials commonly used for sewerage applications).
Don’t miss the opportunity to discover FITT’s infrastructure solutions!
FITT awaits you at Carrefour des Gestions Locales de l’Eau (Rennes) on 22nd and 23rd January, Stand 82 – Hall 4.

(*) On a regulatory level, it is defined as a polymeric alloy of Poly Vinyl Chloride with high impact strength PVC-HI (such as PVC-M, PVC-A, PVC-CPE). PVC-HI (PVC-M, PVC-A, PVC-CPE) is a thermoplastic material that contains PVC resin with the addition of an impact modifier (PVC-High Impact). Depending on the type of impact modifier, the acronym HI can be replaced with various designations (PVC-A, Acrylic or PVC-A Alloy (polymer alloy); PVC-CPE, Chlorinated Polyethylene; PVC-M, Modified).
