Research & Development Services

Historically, much of the research and development in trenchless methods has been conducted by manufacturers, contractors, and major clients, such as British Gas and the various Water companies. A significant amount of research has been and is being carried out at a few UK universities such as Aberdeen, Bradford, Birmingham, and Oxford. An attempt is being made to co-ordinate this work through a trenchless technology research network (NETTWORK), which is sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and managed by Professor Chris Rogers at Birmingham University.
