Successful NODIG Roadshow Brings Together Industry Leaders in Dublin
Industry Experts meet at the Castleknock Hotel for Collaborative Knowledge Exchange on Trenchless Technology Solutions
12th March 2026 – The NODIG Roadshow concluded successfully at the Castleknock Hotel in Dublin on Thursday, 12th March, bringing together leading water industry professionals, engineers, and technology specialists for a comprehensive programme of presentations and networking opportunities.
The event showcased trenchless technology solutions and fostered collaboration between key industry stakeholders, including Uisce Éireann, Northern Ireland Water, and engineering consultancies. The roadshow featured an exceptional line-up of speakers from Uisce Éireann, Northern Ireland Water, BSG Civil Engineering, Ciaran Reilly & Associates Consulting Engineers, Arup, Jacobs, Environmental Techniques, and McAdam Design.
The programme, compiled by Environmental Techniques in collaboration with Uisce Éireann, delivered valuable insights into the latest developments in no-dig technology applications across the water sector. A dedicated exhibition area provided attendees with hands-on demonstrations of available technologies, featuring presentations from event sponsors Reinert-Ritz, Reline, and Vortex.
“The Dublin roadshow exemplified the collaborative spirit driving innovation in our industry,” said Graham Howard, UKSTT Chair. “The exceptional support from Uisce Éireann and the programme developed by Environmental Techniques created an invaluable platform for knowledge exchange and professional development.”
The event’s impact extended beyond the main conference day. On 11th March, Environmental Techniques arranged an exclusive presentation and site visit to the Balscadden Tower Critical WW Assets (GDA), providing attendees with an insight into real-world applications of trenchless technology in critical water infrastructure projects.
The NODIG Roadshow series represents a vital initiative in advancing trenchless technology adoption across the underground utility industry. These events bring together utilities, contractors, consultants, and technology providers to share best practices, explore innovative solutions, and address industry challenges through collaborative dialogue.
Westrade Group organised the event, with the conference programme developed by UKSTT (United Kingdom Society for Trenchless Technology).
Building on this success, the next NODIG Roadshow is scheduled for Tuesday, 12th May 2026, at the Novotel London West, located at 1 Shortlands, Hammersmith, London, W6 8DR. The London event will be supported by Thames Water, continuing the series’ commitment to advancing trenchless technology across the UK and Ireland.
