Welcome


Robert Stein

Dear Sir or Madam

today a further chapter of the technical information system "Trenchless Technology for Installation of Cables and Pipelines" by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dietrich Stein has been published in the UNITRACC-area "Information". The chapter "Starting and Target Shafts" provides you with information regarding all aspects of the general construction, the different construction methods and the static calculation of these constructions.

The Information area on UNITRACC contains exactly 1848 pages filled with well illustrated information and knowledge by now. This makes UNITRACC one of the largest online-collections of expert knowledge for underground infrastructures, which can be accessed via Internet independent of time and location. And this is – as you already know – only one of UNITRACC areas.

The latest news from the trenchless industry is in the UNITRACC area "E-Journal" – waiting to be read.

Enjoy exploring the underground with UNITRACC.

Kind regards,

Dr.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
