Trenchless Technology

This exhibit will focus on the introduction of trenchless technologies used for condition assessment and repair/rehabilitation of our underground infrastructures. Videos about how those technologies work will be shown to the kids. Also, we will demonstrate our equipment (CCTV robotic camera) which can give kids a visual understanding of the importance of the trencheless technologies.

North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT), a student chapter in Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Virginia Tech. Our chapter was founded in 2008 with the help of our advisor Dr. Sunil Sinha, and now has more than 40 student members. Our mission aims at spreading the awareness of trenchless technologies and their importance in the infrastructure management, broadening the horizon of engineering students about the new technologies and keeping them in close contact with leading practices in modern underground asset management.
