Advancing the science, practice and application of trenchless technologies in the Middle East

The Arab world has one of the fastest population growth rates in the world, and its attendant utility infrastructure is fundamental if there is to be continued socio-economic growth in the region.

Across the Middle East there is a need to raise awareness of the most appropriate no-dig methodologies, technologies, products and services to implement sustainable, well thought out infrastructure.
The key aim of this conference is to bring municipality representatives, utility providers, contractors and consultants together to educate, discuss and share future strategies in relation to subterranean urban infrastructure and the benefits of utilising trenchless technology.
