One-day steam seminars, divided into a theoretical and a practical part with applied demonstrations at the mobile testing station of GESTRA.

The steam seminars are geared to the interests of operating mechanic, technical staff working for engineering companies, plant engineers, interested specialists and personnel responsible for plants where steam and pressure are produced and transported.

The seminars usually take place in four different places in Switzerland: in the North, the East, the Mittelland (centre) and the West (the latter in French).
