Underground Infrastructure Research: Municipal, Industrial and Environmental Applications

Preface
Hidden beneath developed cities lie buried networks of pipes that convey clean drinking water, electricity,
gas, and communications cables to residences, businesses, and industries and remove wastewater through
storm and sanitary pipes. In some instances, people and goods are transported through underground net
works of tunnels that enclose subways, railways and roads. These networks are essentially the arteries that
deliver energy and other goods and the veins that remove waste products. Like a circulatory system for the
city, the development, growth, and prosperity of cities depend on a functioning underground network.
Underground Infrastructure Research -Municipal, Industrial and Environmental Applications conference,
sponsored by the Centre for Advancement of Trenchless Technologies (CATT) and National Research
Council of Canada (NRC), was held in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, June 11 to 13, 2001. This event gath
ered together international researchers and practitioners to explore the behaviour of new materials for buried
pipelines and pipeline rehabilitation, new pipeline construction techniques and condition assessment meth
ods, as well as the development of underground infrastructure management systems. The conference fo
cused on the advancement and use of new underground construction techniques by: gathering international
researchers, academics and industry leaders; providing a forum for sharing research findings and solutions to
unique industry problems; increasing manufacturer, supplier, government, and contractor awareness ofinter
nationa1 research activities and problems; and identifYing immediate and long-term research needs. Over
three days, researchers from Russia, Poland, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Brazil, Columbia, United
States, and Canada presented over fifty research papers that covered the following themes:
-Design of thermoplastic and buried pipes
-Pipeline condition assessment
-Installation planning and monitoring
-Management systems
-Soil analysis
-Pipe liner design
-Pipe material characterization and design
-Environmental
-Future directions
-Case studies
In addition, four keynote addresses were presented at the conference. Dr. Arthur J. Carty, President of the
National Research Council of Canada, opened the conference with a presentation on research needs and
partnerships. Case studies focusing on tunneling challenges in Athens, Greece and Barbados were presented
by Dr. Michael Kavvadas, Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of
Athens, and Mr. Phillip Coller, President of Why Dig Technologies Limited, respectively. Dr. Tom Iseley,
President of BlackHawk-PAS Inc, closed the conference with a look into the future of trenchless technolo
gies.
