Dear Sir or Madam,

In this Newsletter issue we would like to recommend the 3rd part of the multi-part series of lectures about the complex topic Utility Tunnelling. From now on you can also find the lecture Pipe Jacking - Part 2 in the UNITRACC area Learning*, which deals with the various types of shield machines, the removal of obstacles and possible errors in pipe jacking in great detail.

One important event which you should not miss is the 2nd Annual Trenchless Technology Summit in Abu Dhabi on 7-10 June 2009, for which I have the great honor of acting as chairman. It would be a great pleasure to welcome you at the Summit in Abu Dhabi.

Enjoy exploring the underground with UNITRACC.

Kind regards,

Dr.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
