Editor’s Welcome

Austen Lees

Welcome to the fantastic new-look Trenchless Works! This fresh new platform will provide a greatly enhanced experience, offering even more engaging and easily accessible content for all our readers. In addition, it will present a host of impressive new opportunities to spotlight our valued advertisers and supporters. We look forward to embarking on the next stage of our journey with you - delivering insightful and enriching content like never before. Thank you for being a part of this exciting new chapter!

As the voice of the trenchless industry, we are keen to provide a platform for thought-leaders from across the sector. This month we are introducing a regular new opinion piece written by Tom Sangster. Tom is a qualified civil engineer with over 35 years’ experience in managing water and sewer pipe inspection, condition assessment and rehabilitation projects around the world. In this month’s issue, he discusses the contrasting approaches to water mains and pressure sewer rehabilitation in the UK and Germany. Keep an eye out for more from Tom over the coming months or if you have some views of your own, please get in touch, we’d love to hear them!

Trenchless Works remains committed to promoting the latest in technological innovation and I’d strongly recommend taking the time to check out the piece by Nicholas Smith from Ditch Witch in which he looks at how the company is using virtual reality to transform training in underground construction.

It’s also always exciting to be able to share news of trenchless technologies delivering tangible benefits. The use of the SAERTEXLINER® H2O, to rehabilitate over 500m of potable water supply line in São Paulo is a great example of this. We’d be keen to get out and see more trenchless work in action so if you have something that you think worth sharing, please drop me a line.

Finally, just a quick reminder that we have the first in this year’s No-Dig Roadshow series taking place at the Hilton in Reading on 26th June. Hopefully I will see you there.

If you have an opinion or news on projects and innovation that you would like to share, please send us a note and I’d be happy to discuss.
