You are invited to participate in the 8th Conference of Trenchless Technologies NO-DIG POLAND, which is going to take place on 18-19 April 2018 in Kielce.
The conference began in 2005 and takes place every second year, and each of the previous editions were attended by a number of domestic and international participants (also from outside of Europe), including representatives from the scientific community, water supply and sewerage companies, design and construction companies, manufacturers of materials and equipment used in trenchless technologies.
The topics of the upcoming conference include issues closely related to the use of trenchless technologies in design, construction and renewal of underground infrastructure in the water, sewage, gas, road and rail industries, as well as in trenchless infrastructure tunnels.
The conference is an excellent opportunity to share knowledge and experience between public administration staff, scientists and professionals working in the water and wastewater sector.
