No Dig India Show 2018 - Advancing Trenchless Standardization

In addition to publishing codes, over the same period, IndSTT has published commercial framework that includes contract conditions and schedule of rates, several guidelines for project planning, execution, and conclusion. With the introduction of newer codes, amplification of current conditions becomes imperative as that would help in maximizing the benefits of new editions.
