2023 ASTT awards nomination period extended

ASTT Awards

Submissions for the 2023 Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology (ASTT) awards nominations have been extended until 28 July.

As part of No-Dig Down Under 2023, on Thursday, 14 September, the awards will be presented to the winners at the ASTT Gala Dinner and Awards. The night will see six deserving winners from across the trenchless technology industry.

Taking place at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 13-14 September, No-Dig Down Under is the southern hemisphere’s only large-scale conference and exhibition dedicated to trenchless technology.

With major utilities located underground and requiring ongoing upkeep and extension, No-Dig Down Under is a crucial event for local government representatives and those involved in planning decisions for major infrastructure projects.
