Strengthen OCTG Procurement Around Valves, Trenchless, Logistics Signals

Following his election as ASTT President, Blair Telfer said he is looking forward to leading the Society and helping deliver another successful No-Dig Down Under event in 2027

Following the success of No-Dig Down Under 2025 in Melbourne, the Southern Hemisphere’s premier trenchless technology conference and exhibition will head to Sydney in 2027 on 21–22 July. The event last visited Sydney in 2022, where it drew strong engagement from across the sector and reinforced the city’s role as a key meeting point for trenchless innovation and infrastructure delivery

It is an honour and a privilege to lead the Society,” Telfer said. “I am equally excited to look forward to No Dig Down Under 2027 in Sydney and the chance to catch up with all our Australasian trenchless practitioners

In a world of escalating energy costs, water constraints and ESG scrutiny, that is not a minor detail; it is a strategic lever. More consideration needs to be given to the full instrumentation and valve lifecycle, from installation through commissioning, maintenance, optimisation and, when needed, replacement, so that a plant’s performance in year 10 is equivalent to year one

Valves, sensors and control cabinets are not glamorous, but they are where energy, water and product are won or lost, year after year

The RDP will enable heavy electric freight operations across the Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra corridors — among the most heavily trafficked freight routes in the country

New Energy Transport (NET) has announced it has closed an initial $5 million equity raise to fast‍-‍track the electrification of Australian road freight

The RDP will enable heavy electric freight operations across the Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and Canberra corridors — among the most heavily trafficked freight routes in the country. By covering this network from day one, NET can demonstrate reliable, repeatable all-electric line-haul at commercial scale, rather than isolated pilot runs
