July 9, 2015
The 2015 event marks a return to British Columbia for Benjamin Media, which hosted a Rehab Road Show in 2006, and the first time CATT and NASTT-BC have collaborated for a Road Show. Taking place Nov. 17-19 in Richmond (Vancouver), British Columbia, the 2015 Trenchless Technology Road Show provides a platform to educate municipal, engineering and contractor personnel on the benefits of trenchless methods.
The Trenchless Technology Road Show consists of two full days of technical presentations and exhibits bringing you the latest advancements in trenchless technology. For those wanting to pack more trenchless education into the trip, Nov. 17 features a trio of workshops – “Trenchless Technology 101,” “Assessment and Renovation of Culverts” and “Innovations in Water Network Asset Management” —led by the industry’s leading experts.
The main event will feature two seminar tracks, with 46 sessions to choose from, covering methods and materials for planning, design, installation, assessment and management of water and wastewater systems. There will be a keynote address on Nov. 19 by Ken Foster, president of Insituform Canada with live demos and vendor exhibits taking place on Nov. 18 and 19.
