ISTT Trenchless Asia & International No-Dig 2021 Kuala Lumpur The ISTT have advised that due to Malaysian regulations concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, Trenchless Asia: the 38th International No-Dig 2021 scheduled for November 2021 has been rescheduled yet again to 27-28 July 2022 in Kuala Lumpur. Because of this date change, the ISTT has decided that the 2022 Trenchless Asia conference will no longer be the 38th International No-Dig.

This is due to the proximity to the International No-Dig in October 2022 in Helsinki, which will now be the 38th International No-Dig.

Technical Conference All the authors of the technical papers have a right to choose the option to keep the entry for 2022 Trenchless Asia, or to transfer the submittal to Helsinki. Westrade will be contacting each author.

No-Dig Award All the previous entries from 2020 will be carried forwarded to 2022. ISTT has already contacted each author. Also due to this change, there is now a new deadline of 1 July 2022 for submissions. The awardgiving ceremony will be held in Helsinki in October 2022.
