The Seventh Trenchless Asia was held alongside Singapore Water Week in Singapore, 2-4 June. This was the second event held in conjunction with SIWW which, combined with World Cities Summit and CleanEnviro Summit recorded a combined attendance of some 20,000 visitors from 118 countries.
This was the second time Trenchless Asia has been held in conjunction with SIWW and was strategically positioned to present trenchless technology to existing practitioners, as well as introducing the products and services to global leaders from the public and private sectors seeking to expand their knowledge of environmentally friendly techniques.
Some 45 companies were represented in the Trenchless Asia Pavilion. This included national stands from Singapore, presented by the Singapore Society for Trenchless Technology (SgSTT) and from Germany, headed by the GSTT. Individual companies were represented from Europe, North America, China and India.
“It is apparent that the majority of our exhibitors have made good contacts during SIWW this year” comments Paul Harwood, Sales Director of organisers Westrade Group Ltd. “There is no doubt that SIWW attracts a high calibre of water industry personnel from around the world. “Trenchless Asia’s objective is to raise awareness of trenchless technologies to various Asian cities. Trenchless Asia was first held in Singapore in 1995 and has subsequently been held in Hong Kong and Shanghai. We are pleased to announce we will be returning to a stand alone event to be held in Kuala Lumpur. We are delighted to have the support of local exhibitors and government personnel in Kuala Lumpur and we are looking forward to presenting our next event in Malaysia in 2016.” Full information on Trenchless Asia 2016 is expected to be announced later this year and will be posted to the website www.trenchlessasia.com
