The 36th International No-Dig 2018 Conference and Exhibition Opens in Cape Town on 8 October and the Southern Africa Society for Trenchless Technology (SASTT) is inviting all interested parties to attend.
The conference will be opened by the Executive Deputy Mayor of Cape Town, Alderman Ian Neilson, followed by a ground-breaking paper by Neil van Rooyen on the topic of “Unlocking economic growth in South Africa through the use of trenchless technology”. The industry’s role players and decision makers will unpack the various elements for expansion in the trenchless industry, detailing how this enables the creation of hundreds of new SMME contractors, immediate direct employment opportunities for 100 000 job entrants and cost savings worth billions of Rands. At the same time, trenchless offers cost saving solutions to repair South Africa’s leaking water and sewer pipes – a win-win situation for all. “Please come and join us for this vibrant discussion and help us improve the health and well-being of people in South Africa and the rest of the African continent,” says Sam Efrat, President, SASTT.No-Dig 2018
International No-Dig South Africa 2018 provides a unique opportunity for suppliers to showcase products and services at the only event in the African continent to focus on trenchless technology.A huge programme of new infrastructure installations, as well as extensive renovation to ageing underground services continue to be carried out across South Africa, particularly in the major urban areas. The exhibition provides engineers, planners, contractors and operators the opportunity to see first-hand the products on display and evaluate the benefits of using trenchless methods in underground pipeline construction and maintenance.
