The courses were originally developed by the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT), but the material has been adapted to suit Australasian audiences.

It will cover horizontal directional drilling (HDD), sewer laterals and new installations, and is considered to be the global standard for education on trenchless technology. The programs will be invaluable to anyone encounters trenchless technologies as part of their employment, but they are best suited to civil and geotechnical engineers, council, utility and government employees, and beginner installers.

The courses will run on Tuesday, June 14, from 8am to 5pm, at the International Convention Centre in Sydney. Attendance costs $490 for members or $590 for non-members. The price includes your chosen ASTT training course, an NASTT training book, attendance at the welcome reception and free access across the three days of the exhibition trade show.

There will also be an opportunity to meet with several HDD specialists in the field and ask them questions.

Sewer laterals 

Presented by Nuflow group trainer Ben Norton, this course will detail some of the problems associated with the private lateral portion of the collection system network, the options available for inspection, evaluation and repair of sewer laterals, and the financial and legal issues affecting this kind of work.

The pair will explain both commonly used and new trenchless installation methods for new utilities, services, casings, and other underground facilities.
