No-Dig Down Under proves year after year it’s the southern hemisphere’s marquee event for plumbers, and Brisbane 2023 will be no different. This year’s conference and exhibition will play host to all manner of products and training for working with piping and other trenchless technologies.
The know-how
The Australasian Society for Trenchless Technology (ASTT) will play a major role in delivering information and training for those plumbers looking to take their expertise to the next level. This includes a tailor-made course by the ASTT on the renovation of pipes by lining – the first course of its kind providing basic and vital info for those working with trenchless pipe-lining technologies.

Starting with an overview of typical host pipes and their mode of deterioration, the course flows into topics such as lateral lining, including the pros and cons of the technique, how it works, and its ranges and limitations. Courses on new installation methods and horizontal directional drilling are also available, provided through the ASTT via its North American counterpart, NASTT.
Registration for the courses runs from $515 for ASTT members to $615 for non-members. As with much of the event, CPD points are available for course attendance and completion.
Taking a dig
No-Dig Down under will not only be a chance to learn, but to catch up with the latest
tools and faces in the industry. Hundreds of companies will exhibit their latest wares, including inventor of the modern pipe wrench, Ridgid Tool (Australia), and pipe-lining technology experts, Denso. The No-Dig Down Under conference will provide a platform for conversations affecting the industry, with a focus on ‘better outcomes through trenchless’.
This could include delving into improving the environmental, community and financial outcomes of trenchless projects. There’ll be tonnes of chances to chat with fellow stakeholders in the industry, with a few social events scattered across three days.
The opening-night reception and ASTT Gala Dinner and Awards to wrap up the event will be major highlights. No-Dig Down Under will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre between September 12-14. Registration to attend the exhibition is free, however the conference, training modules and social events require paid registration.
