UNITRACC News Issue: September 2009   

Welcome


Robert Stein

Dear Sir or Madam,

in this September issue of the UNITRACC Newsletter we will keep you posted on the latest news in the world of underground infrastructures - as usual.

Furthermore we would like to turn your attention to the numerous conferences and exhibitions which are taking place all over the world after the summer break, such as ICUEE - the International Construction and Utility Equipment Exposition targeting water and wastewater utility equipment and products (6 - 8 October, Louisville, Kentucky, USA) or the International Conference & Exhibition for Filtration and Separation Technology Filtech 2009 (13 - 15 October, Wiesbaden, Germany).

Another interesting event - I would sincerely like to recommend - is Promoting Trenchless Technology in Middle East from 9th to 11th November 2009 in Abu Dhabi. Use the opportunity to exchange experiences with other experts. I will also be on location as a key speaker and would gladly meet you there.

Enjoy exploring the underground with UNITRACC.

Dr.-Ing. Robert Stein
(UNITRACC Editor)
