ISTT’s 39th Annual International No-Dig Conference and Exhibition is to be held 3-5 October 2022 at the Messukeskus Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, Finland.
The majority of water pipes and sewers in Finland are small in diameter. As a result, Finland is at the forefront of rehabilitation of small diameter pipes, with many specialist contractors working for public utilities, as well as and inside private houses.
The Finnish road authorities have recently reviewed the regulations for crossing roads with cables and pipes and have now declared that wherever possible, trenchless techniques should be utilised.
This will of course greatly increase the use of trenchless and opportunities for the industry.
- Finland has an excellent pipe material industry and also very innovative product manufacturers for small diameter pipes. This was recognised by the Product of the year Award presented by ISTT in Sao Paulo 2012.
- In addition to the extensive trenchless works in Finland, there is also huge market potential in nearby locations including Stockholm, Tallinn and St Petersburg which are all only some hours away from Helsinki.
