Saint-Gobain PAM UK has launched Watershed Issues, a brand new channel that will showcase industry experts and enable people to have opinion and discuss those pertinent matters that are challenging the water and building industries.

Visitors to Watershed Issues will be encouraged to add their thoughts to the discussion topics through a comments section and Saint-Gobain PAM UK hopes that this will engender a lively debate whereby suggestions and ideas are pulled together in one common place.

The first discussion centres on ‘whether the water industry is at risk of stagnating if more emphasis isn’t placed on innovation’ and calls on the experience and views of the Water Research Centre (WRc), an independent employee-controlled organisation, that is dedicated to providing innovative and practical solutions to its customers and operates in the water, waste and environmental sectors.

Future topics will be surrounding key areas such as sustainability, UK manufacturing, building information modelling (BIM) and other important subjects.

Mark Esling, Business Development Director at Saint-Gobain PAM UK, said: “We are really excited to be launching Watershed Issues. This gives us the opportunity to facilitate discussions surrounding the significant matters that are affecting the water and building industries.

“Not only will we all benefit from the insight of industry experts, with their views on key topics, but visitors to the site will have the ability to really get involved with the discussion via the comments section. By adding everyone’s opinions and views, we hope that this will reveal a richer and well-rounded look at each issue.”
