Netlab celebrates 10 years of existence as technology consulting company. We all know that such a business has its ups and downs. Well this time let us think about ups and the future of  Netlab's technology consulting business. Despite the economic crisis we could improve our performance in the period 2008 to 2009 and we expect a continuation of this trend for the next two years period 2010 to 2011. We appreciate the support from our key clients.

We celebrated this anniversary in Duesseldorf-Kaiserswerth on December 18, 2009 at the French Restaurant "Im Schiffchen". Most of the invited guest could come, some were delayed by snow storms and early next morning it was difficult to uncover the car parked somewhere in front of the restaurant.

 

The Restaurant "Im Schiffchen" is shown to the right, and it can be found in Guide Michelin, Deutschland on page 353.
This is the happy crowd, an exiting mix of Netlab's key Clients, our Staff, in the center the "chef  Jean Claude Bourgeuil" and essential supports like lawyers and bank officials.

 

 

Cooperation with MADE on underground PE gas pipe location

Netlab cooperates with MADE SARL (France) in the area of underground plastic pipe location. Contrary to underground looking RADAR, the "Gastracker" of MADE  works well in locating PE pipes in dense and "high conductivity soil", whilst RADAR works well in dry and loose ground conditions. MADE' is particularly successful selling its equipment in USA and UK, of course its prime client remains Gaz de France.

MADE developed this acoustic method based on their experience with the French Navy in Toulon tracking underwater objects. The pictures show the sound generating equipment attached to a gas access point (e.g. service line) injecting the sound and Ph.Cappon (Export Sales Manager) holding the simple tracking device of the acoustic signal emanating from the PE pipe located underground. Depth of pipe location of  2 to 3 m can be handled.
