No-Dig Down Under on track to be better than ever

Organised by Prime Creative Media in partnership with the Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology (ASTT), No-Dig Down Under is the Southern Hemisphere’s only large scale conference and exhibition dedicated to trenchless technology.

ASTT President and Queensland Council Representative Ben Crosby said the conference is “a time for the industry to come together, to collaborate, share their achievements, their R&D, as well as see new and old colleagues and discuss the industry”.

“It’s a really good forum to learn about new products, learn about experiences on projects, see equipment used in the trade, and attend through the conference program technical exhibitions summarising trenchless projects, design, and the like.”

The trade show is one of the main focus of this multi-day event, where companies exhibit their products and projects and where speakers present formal technical papers.

“Then on top of that it’s a chance to collaborate with people in the industry, to connect with real industry people,” said Mr Crosby.

For those who might be new to trenchless technology, Mr Crosby said No-Dig is the ideal place to learn more.

“It’s a great place for anyone to come, learn, listen, and interact with people who are doing it every day.

“To really get that confidence and security that comes from very experienced and expert people in each and every field in this industry,” he said.

“You might be someone who’s junior and wants to get into the industry, up to someone contemplating a trenchless project, and it’s a great chance to connect and learn.

“You can speak to designers or manufacturers, suppliers or contractors, or get their perspectives on how they do it in our industry.”

The No-Dig conference also offers educational courses, as well as social events.

“If you want to brush up on your skills, your knowledge base, it’s a good environment – you can come along, enroll in the training the day before the conference starts, and get a lot out of industry experts teaching you elements of a process or application you wanted more information on.”

Of course, the prestigious Gala Dinner, which includes the announcement of the ASTT Award winners, is always one of the highlights of the event.

“It’s a way to make connections after you’ve had a chance as a delegate or participant at the conference to move around the trade hall,” said Mr Crosby.

“You’ve attended some technical presentations, maybe a training course, and can meet with the people in this industry to discuss successes, challenges, or just find out about their products at a more social 1-on-1 level.

 “One of the most important things about this event is the ability to have people come out and collaborate in a post-covid world,” he said.

“There’s been a void in all our lives thanks to covid so we really encourage people to come along and get the best out of all these industry people being in one place at one time.”
