Promoting Trenchless
Technology in the Middle East
9 th – 11 th November 2009, Abu Dhabi
Event Introduction
Middle East is considered to be a relative late comer to the area of trenchless
technology. Nevertheless no dig is definitely becoming a popular method among
contractors and municipalities across the Middle East. The fast, high-grade
development of mainly urban, areas of the region requires new, extended or
rehabilitated underground infrastructure for water and sewerage, electricity or gas.
Minimizing the disruption on the surface does significantly contribute to time-efficient,
cost reducing and less risky management of utility infrastructure.Find out how and why
you, too can turn “open cut” into “no dig” and fully benefit from the latest technical
innovations and professional experience from both local and international experts in
trenchless.

Rehabilitation of water mains and sewer force mains has

Water Works Association projects that the industry is fast
approaching the ‘Dawn of the Replacement Era’ where
wholesale replacement of existing pipe networks will
be required, often in the urban environment where the
consequences of such construction may be substantially
disruptive to the environment and the economy. This
situation is common in much of the world including the
MENA Region and represents a major urban engineering
challenge. Accordingly improved methods for pipeline
location, condition assessment, design and installation
of semi structural and structural liners and reinstatement
of household connections are required to give confidence
to pipeline owners and their contractors to maximize the
usage of trenchless methods and so minimize unnecessary
disruption to the community at large.

Emscher Sewer, (approx. 52 km wastewater sewer DN 1400 to DN 2800). This sewer
project is regarded as the one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Dr. Stein was also involved
in the development of new design concepts to safeguard the quality of jacking projects as
well as in the development of new joint concepts for jacking pipes to expand the range of curved jackings.

Day 3, November 11th 2009
2 pm – 5.30 pm - Post Forum Workshop B
Understanding Successful Trenchless Pipeline Rehabilitation
And Renovation Methods
Renovation is where Trenchless Technology originally began, way back in the
1970s. Someone came up with the idea of putting a resin impregnated sock in a
sewer, and eventually found a client who didn’t think he was crazy. With perfect
hindsight we know that this technique, now generally referred to as ‘cured-inplace-pipe’
or CIPP, has become the most popular method of sewer renovation
worldwide, and that he wasn’t crazy at all.
But please spare a thought for the early No-Dig proponents whose refusal to be
daunted
by scepticism we can all benefit from today.
This short workshop will take you on a journey through:
• The clear definitions of the 4 ‘Rs’ rehabilitation, repairing, replacing and
renovating
• Understanding rehabilitation processes
• Identifying relevant replacement, renovation and repair technologies in the
ME region
• Effective renovation design systems
• Environmental aspects

Supporting Association
International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association – ITA-AITES
Founded in 1974, the ITA is based in Lausanne, Switzerland and counts 55 Member Nations
amongst its membership. The association aims to further the use of underground space
within the context of societal needs, environmental concerns, sustainable development and climate change.
Since its origin, ITA, in order to improve training of technical experts and engineers and arrange international
exchanges, has set up working groups on different topics such as research, contractual practices, health & safety,
immersed tunnels, mechanized or conventional tunnelling. Recently, ITA and its members have identified
three major concerns regarding the future of underground space use and tunnelling. The first concerns the
need for underground operational safety. Only through maintaining the highest safety standards can the use
of underground space be possible. Secondly there is a growing concern regarding the availability of educated
professionals. Thirdly ITA is concerned about the lack of awareness regarding the benefits of underground
space use and also the lack in developing a local vision on using underground space and planning the use. To
address all three concerns, committees have been installed by ITA: the ITA Committee on Operational Safety
of Underground Facilities (ITACOSUF), the ITA Committee on Education (ITACET) and the ITA Committee on
Underground Space (ITACUS).
IKT – Institute for Underground Infrastructure
IKT is a neutral, independent and non-profit research institute. It is oriented towards
practical applications and works on issues surrounding underground pipe construction.
Its key focus is centred on sewage systems. IKT provides scientifically backed surveys and
advice.
IKT’s main activities are:
• research and testing aiming at technical innovative, high-quality, client and environmental friendly,
economically sustainable underground utility infrastructure;
• to provide research results and insights for an environmental and citizen-oriented construction,
renovation and maintenance of public utility networks.
• to help private companies develop new products by way of modern material tests;
• promotion of discussion, exchange of experiences between professionals.
As an independent institute, IKT is a reliable partner for utilities, sewer system operators and the private
water industry. IKT offers highly specialized research and testing. Its testing facilities are at the cutting edge
of modern research equipment. IKT is a non-profit organisation according to German law and has no
commercial objectives.
