2008 Session Schedule

Technical Paper Sessions

The No-Dig technical paper program is driven and developed by a group of NASTT members, known as the Program Committee, who work diligently to provide attendees with a high quality and educational experience. You can choose to attend from among 110 of the most interesting and compelling papers, all of which have been carefully peer-reviewed for relevance, usefulness and non-commercialism, and make a long-lasting contribution to the state-of-the-art of trenchless technologies. From new installation to rehabilitation methods, the scope of the subject matter presented offers something for everyone. No-Dig papers are presented in a 4-track schedule, allowing you to choose from among four paper presentations at any given time. Papers are mostly arranged by subject area. Whether you are planning to attend the full conference or one day only, you select the paper presentations you wish to attend!
