UNITRACC News Issue: August 2009   

Welcome


Robert Stein

Dear Sir or Madam,

This month we have added a further Virtual Construction Site to the UNITRACC area Learning!*

The new Virtual Construction Site gives a detailed description and explanation of the repair of lateral connections by means of a short liner, which repairs both the lateral connection and the nearby main pipe. Even beneath the ground surface you will not miss a single detail of the process - thanks to the magnifier option and 3D-animation.

Book the new PREMIUM package, which enables you to use UNITRACC to the full extent for a real bargain price and use this and all other 19 Virtual Construction Sites.

But the PREMIUM package includes so much more: All kinds of important information on underground infrastructures at a glance, presented in a form that makes even complicated facts and contexts quickly and intuitively comprehensible.

Take a chance and explore the underground with UNITRACC!

Kind regards,

Dr.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)

* PREMIUM package is needed.
