UKSTT is striving to be the leading voice in the field of Trenchless Technology, advancing the development of trenchless technologies through education, collaboration and promotion.
As UKSTT continues to grow and take on new challenges, it is important for the not-for-profit Society to serve and support its members. With this in mind, UKSTT is in the process of arranging a series of meetings with the leading Water, Gas, Electric and Fibre Optic companies for members to attend. This is an exciting new initiative that is intended to be beneficial for all parties.

VIVAX METROTECH
Vivax-Metrotech Ltd will be featuring the recently launched vCamMX camera system to add to the successful vCam5 pushrod pipeline inspection camera system.
Working closely with its existing customers, Vivax-Metrotech was asked to design a brand new system to allow users to inspect smaller diameter pipelines than was possible with the vCam5 unit. After many trials and tests the vCam5’s little brother was born, the vCamMX.
