Welcome


Robert Stein

Dear Sir or Madam,

There's news on CargoCap, the project that intends to move the transport of goods to underground transportation pipelines according to the principle of pneumatic delivery. As a "product of the future" CargoCap can now be found in the book 100 Products of the Future by Prof. Theodor Hänsch. Catch up on the book and the current status of the project in the UNITRACC News!

There are also new additions in the UNITRACC Area "Information". In the Technical Information System "Trenchless Technology for Installation of Cables and Pipelines" by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dietrich Stein now also the chapter on Drilling Fluid and Drilling Fluid Technology is available. It deals with the application of liquid fluids by covering their range of application in HDD, microtunneling and pipe jacking and their function as support and transport medium in detail.

Get unrestricted access to all 35 Technical Information Systems on UNITRACC already with the UNITRACC Starter-Package.

Enjoy exploring the underground with UNITRACC.

Kind regards,

Dipl.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
