Dear Sir or Madam,
In this February edition of the UNITRACC Newsletter we keep you posted on the latest news and events in the world of underground infrastructures. Catch up on the latest developments in the Trenchless Societies or new products and find out about unusual and tricky construction sites that challenged the engineers' skills.
To continue the look behind UNITRACC's scenes, in this edition I would like to introduce to you our editorial staff. They are in charge of producing and editing all the material you find in the UNITRACC Information and Learning section. Be it Virtual Construction Sites or Documentations and Presentations, they all were created on the screens of our team.
To gain a complete overview of the materials available in both sections you need to be a registered user with a Complete package.
You are not a member of the UNITRACC community yet? - No problem, to join us simply request a trial access code, which gives you free access to UNITRACC for 7 days.
Enjoy reading and exploring the underground with UNITRACC.
Kind regards,
Dipl.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
