TRENCHLESS DISTRICT
Explore low environmental impact technologies
At Ecomondo, there is a dedicated district for trenchless technology, also known as No Dig. This area is located in the Water Cycle and Blue Economy sector.
Complete with its own event area, this space is designed to promote next-generation technologies that aim to reduce open-cut excavations, shorten construction times, lower socio-environmental impacts, cut energy consumption, and minimize on-site accidents.
The goal is to share best practices and highlight the benefits of trenchless technologies, which are essential for the installation, rehabilitation, and renewal of underground utility infrastructures such as electric grids, telecommunications, gas and energy networks, water supply systems, and sewerage.
Other areas of application covered by professionals in this district include landslide stabilization and remediation of contaminated sites.

The district specifically involves organizations active in:
-
Surveying and mapping of existing underground utilities
-
Video inspection
-
Installation of new pipelines through guided horizontal drilling (including horizontal directional drilling, microtunnelling, TBM, pilot systems)
-
Rehabilitation and renewal of underground pipelines (using techniques such as hose lining, close-fit, slip lining, C.I.P.P., and relining with pipes and liners)
-
Suppliers and/or distributors of machinery, materials, and components
Italian Association for Trenchless Technologies | Our partner for the Trenchless District
A non-profit association founded in 1994, with the goal of promoting and advancing the scientific and technical knowledge of No Dig technologies. Its mission is to transfer trenchless know-how to both public and private sector management.
IATT is also a member of the ISTT – International Society for Trenchless Technology, alongside 27 other associations from 32 countries around the world.
