JBP, since Trenchless Asia’s inception in 2016, have complemented the main conference, with a programme of Applied Trenchless Technology workshops. The emphasis here is very much on the applied aspects of trenchless methods and technologies. Throughout the workshops we draw on the practical, hands-on experience and current insights of trenchless experts from across the sector.

In this year’s workshops programme, in Manila, we are fortunate to have, amongst others, the insights of Professor Sam Ariaratnam, Sunstate Chair of Construction Management & Engineering at Arizona State University and a world-renowned expert in Horizontal Directional Drilling; Dr. Dec Downey, current president and past chairman of the International Society for Trenchless Technologies, also a globally-recognized expert with over four decades of experience in trenchless rehabilitation methods, and Clive Key with more than a decade of project management of maintenance and rehabilitation projects throughout the Middle East.

This year, uniquely, the programme also includes a round table discussion, with Dr Downey, En Faizal Othman Chairman of Malaysia’s Trenchless Association (MATT), and Mr Tang Chua Boon Vice-Chair for Singapore’s Trenchless Society (SgSTT) – a great opportunity to get their perspectives on the role and contributions of societies in education and promoting Trenchless.

JBP, through its Trenchless Training Programmes, are an international provider of courses for professionals working in the water and wastewater sector. We work with the Trenchless sector’s leading experts and practitioners, developing and delivering practical training courses that enhance the knowledge, skills and understanding of trenchless professionals in the application of trenchless methods and technologies.

We are delighted to be partnering with Westrade, once again, at Trenchless Asia in Manila, to be able to deliver JBP’s programme of Applied Trenchless Technologies Workshops. It was standing room only last year in Kuala Lumpur so be sure to register you place now for any of the sessions. I look forward to welcoming you.
