At this year’s No-Dig Down Under, there will be no shortage of must see attractions across the show floor.

CAPE DUNSTANS – STAND A11

Cape Dunstans excels in delivering complex horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects in Australia’s most environmentally sensitive areas. With advanced engineering, expert teams, and a sophisticated HDD fleet, we provide precise, reliable, and low-impact solutions. A notable project is the 900m Nerang River crossing on the Gold Coast, involving drilling beneath the river, Light Rail, and Sundale Bridge. Using dual rigs, gyroscopic and radar guidance, and a continuous drill string, the crossing was completed incident-free. The 1200mm HDPE pipe was towed 5km along the Nerang River and Broadwater with careful planning to protect the environment.

CHANNELINE – STAND A17

Since the early 1980s, Channeline has been providing bespoke structural glass reinforced plastic (GRP) lining systems for the trenchless rehabilitation of sewers, tunnels, culverts, stormwater, and other buried infrastructure worldwide. With over four decades of experience, we’ve developed unrivalled expertise in engineering and manufacturing custom solutions for both circular and non-circular profiles. Its GRP lining systems are fully bespoke; designed and manufactured to suit any shape, any size. From standard diameters to complex geometries, Channeline delivers liners tailored to match project-specific requirements.

TITEFLOW – STAND C14

Water is life’s essential, and a continuous, reliable supply is vital for a healthy community. Maintaining – or improving – the flow capacity can be key to the success of a rehabilitation project. Low impact and versatile, Titeflow is Interflow’s proprietary die-reduction lining solution. Like slip lining, Titeflow installs a brand-new, industry-standard HDPE pipe inside an existing pipeline without the need for full open cut excavation. The difference lies in the installation method, which allows for a tighter fit and maximum hydraulic capacity. Titeflow is a trenchless solution suitable for pressure pipes ranging from 90 to 900mm.

KRE ENGINEERING SERVICES – STAND D20

A stand-out at No-Dig Down Under will be the KRE Engineering Services’ 150–225 Cutter, a market-leading solution specifically designed for six-inch pipe rehabilitation where precision and reliability are critical. Backed by over 35 years of design expertise and trenchless industry experience, this cutter has built a strong reputation for high-quality performance in demanding conditions. Engineered for durability, the 150–225 Cutter is free from internal electronics, making it fully waterproof and exceptionally robust in sewer and stormwater environments. Its corrosion-resistant brass cutter body, mechanically driven up/down head, and 360° continuous camera and cutting rotation deliver consistent results across a wide range of materials including liners, plastic, concrete, steel, and root intrusions.

OPTIONX GROUP – STAND E02

Developed in Australia, Riteline is a revolutionary centraliser system designed specifically for trenchless installation. Purpose-built to solve the everyday challenges of microtunnelling, Riteline keeps your pipe perfectly in place within the bore, without the risk of slippage or movement, even in challenging conditions. Riteline has been successfully WSAA appraised and is in use on major infrastructure projects across Australia. It offers a cost-effective, time-saving alternative to traditional centralising systems and is endorsed by contractors and utilities who appreciate both its innovation and reliability.

KWIK-ZIP SPACERS – STAND B32

kwik-ZIP is an Australian-based company that designs and manufactures spacer systems for the drilling, civil, and infrastructure industries. Its products help ensure proper casing alignment and support during well construction, pipe-in-pipe installation, and trenchless operations. Made from high-grade thermoplastics, kwik-ZIP’s spacers are corrosion-resistant, durable, and easy to install. They ensure annular clearance, reduce friction during pipe-in-pipe installation and are used and recommended by pipeline and civil contractors, water and gas utilities, drilling companies and international engineering firms.  Known for quality and innovation, the company provides flexible, cost-effective solutions for challenging ground and borehole conditions.

MICHELS TRENCHLESS – STAND C38

Although horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is often the go-to methods for shore approaches, Michels Trenchless has found that the Direct Pipe® installation method can be very effective in certain situations. Particularly well suited for areas with challenging ground conditions, such as mixed soils, high groundwater levels, or unstable geology, Direct Pipe® combines a steerable microtunnell boring machine and a powerful thruster to install a pipeline on an accurate alignment and grade. With closed-face excavation and a continuously supported borehole, Direct Pipe® is effective for long, large-diameter pipeline installations with minimal environmental impact.
