Firstly, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who supported our NoDig Roadshow in Reading this month. We’ll include a full write up in the July issue, but it was the perfect ‘pick me up’ following another rather lacklustre England performance in the Euros the night before. It would be remiss not to make a special mention of SES Water, Thames Water and Wessex Water together with all our sponsors for their support.

In this issue you can read about FFRP vs. CIPP in trenchless rehabilitation, a fascinating article from Nuflow, Primus Line also feature detailing their overland piping system for a German paper mill, and Bodenbender renovate 250-year-old pipes in a world heritage site. Another great article is by Herrenknecht Tunnelling Machinery (HTM), in China on page 36 where a machine of this diameter has only been used twice before in the history of tunnelling!

In the Trenchless Asia feature on page 66, you hear from Michael

Wong at Pipe Solutions Inc. who gives great insight into the rapidly developing trenchless market in the Philippines and wider South East Asian region. Sponsoring the event and impressing on visitors with their HDD rigs live at Trenchless Asia, Vermeer, Drillto, XCMG and DCI, are also featured, as well as news about the bespoke training programme delivered by JBP Trenchless Training. Trenchless Asia is on next month, and not one to miss! Stay up to date with the event online via our social media and Trenchless Works news.

Finally, just a reminder that we are always on the lookout for opinion, thought leadership and unique content from the trenchless and underground utilities sectors. If there’s an issue you’d like to talk about, please just drop me a line and we’ll do our best to include you in an upcoming edition.
