UNITRACC News Issue: December 2007   

Welcome


Robert Stein

Dear Sir or Madam,

As you might have noticed, for a couple of days now the UNITRACC start page has been wrapped in a new Christmas design.

In this final Newsletter edition this year I would like to take the opportunity to thank our users for sending us interesting news, articles, comments and general feedback. We will be back in January with a new edition of this Newsletter packed with the latest information and news.

However, we also have a small Christmas gift for you: the UNITRACC Search Engine has been improved. Find the information you need - from article to wastewater - quick and precisely.

If you are still looking for a gift, we warmly recommend the following Christmas offer:
order the ultimate reference book on No-Dig techniques "Trenchless Technology for Installation of Cables and Pipelines" by Professor Dr.-Ing. Dietrich Stein now for only 99 € (120 € regular price). Grab the chance to stock up your reference library and get equipped for whatever project is waiting for you in the new year.*

We would like to wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy and successful new year.

Enjoy exploring the underground with UNITRACC.

Kind regards,

Dipl.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
