The Arab Countries Water Utilities Association (ACWUA), was established in 2009 and has more than 500 individual members and more than 100 water/wastewater utilities from 18 Arab countries.

ACWUA will host the Trenchless Arabia Conference and Exhibition on 3-5 March 2019 at King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre, Dead Sea, Jordan in conjunction with the 5th Arab Water Week. For details, please visit www.trenchlessarabia.com and https://aww.acwua.org 

Trenchless Arabia is an international conference and exhibition promoting condition assessment (cctv inspection and leak detection), ground penetrating radar (gpr), cured in place pipe (cipp) lining, close-fit sliplining, horizontal directional drilling (hdd), pipejacking, pipe bursting, auger boring, microtunnelling and several other trenchless techniques. Rehabilitation or new installation of underground utilities is possible with trenchless techniques which bring crucial advantages such as minimum surface excavation, less environmental damage, shorter construction period and less social cost.

International experts from several institutions, companies and universities will present their best practices and new solutions to the participants from Arab countries. Representatives of ministries, municipalities and utilities from Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Oman, Bahrain, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah), Kuwait, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Sudan, Qatar, Iran and Turkey will be the key participants. A unique platform will be created among the decision makers, contractors, manufacturers and consultants during the sessions and exhibition.

All NASTT and ISTT members are invited to participate in Trenchless Arabia Conference and Exhibition.
