ASTT Roadshow

ABOUT

As part of its mission to promote the use of Trenchless Technology in Australasia, the ASTT has organised this high quality and informative roadshow. Whereas training like this often costs between $1,000 - $2,000, the ASTT is subsidising the cost to ensure that as wide an audience as possible has access to this training, making it exceptionally good value.

There is no excuse not to attend!
