International Trenchless Exhibition & Conference

Revolutionizing Infrastructure Development: The International Trenchless Exhibition & Conference (ITEC)

As urban populations grow and cities expand at unprecedented rates, infrastructure demands intensify—particularly in fast-developing nations such as Saudi Arabia. The International Trenchless Exhibition & Conference (ITEC) has emerged as a critical forum where industry leaders, engineers, technologists, and policymakers converge to shape the future of underground infrastructure through the advancement of trenchless technology.

ITEC provides a dedicated platform for showcasing how trenchless solutions are transforming urban development, offering cost-effective and minimally disruptive alternatives to traditional construction methods. This transformation is especially vital in cities like Riyadh, where infrastructure demands are increasing rapidly in response to population growth and urban megaprojects.

The Rising Need for Trenchless Solutions

Trenchless technology refers to construction methods that allow for the installation, replacement, or rehabilitation of underground pipelines and cables without extensive surface excavation. In Saudi Arabia’s bustling urban environment—filled with road networks, existing utility lines, and sensitive infrastructure—these No-Dig methods are increasingly being recognized for their:

   Reduced surface disruption

   Shortened construction timelines

   Environmental sustainability

   Improved safety in congested areas

As the Kingdom expands its efforts to modernize water, sewage, electricity, and telecommunication systems, trenchless technology is becoming a cornerstone of infrastructure strategy.

Key Infrastructure Projects Driving Demand

Massive development projects across Saudi Arabia are creating significant pressure on existing utilities, requiring intelligent solutions that avoid tearing up roads or disrupting communities.
Examples of ongoing infrastructure challenges include:

   Expansion of wastewater networks, aiming for 95% coverage nationwide

   Construction of metro and underground transit systems

   Widespread stormwater and drainage improvements across 13 municipalities

   Urban renewal in heritage-rich areas like Makkah, where surface disruptions are limited

Trenchless construction methods—such as micro-tunneling, horizontal directional drilling, pipe jacking, and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining—are being used to solve these complex challenges efficiently and effectively.

A Premier Gathering of Global Experts

The International Trenchless Exhibition & Conference is not just a technical gathering—it is a global hub of knowledge exchange. Attendees have the unique opportunity to hear from international experts and innovators from organizations such as:

   International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT)

   Indian Society for Trenchless Technology (IndSTT)

   Global contractors, municipal authorities, and academic researchers

Highlighted Session Topics:

   Innovations in trenchless tunnel boring machines (TBMs)

   Asset management and trenchless lifecycle planning

   AI and machine learning in trenchless project optimization

   Tunnel jacking methods for urban infrastructure projects

   Success stories from international megacities

These sessions offer not only technical knowledge but also strategic perspectives on how trenchless technology fits into broader infrastructure and urban development visions.

Supporting Smart City and Visionary Initiatives

Saudi Arabia’s urban transformation is anchored in long-term national strategies, such as its Vision 2030 initiative. At ITEC, trenchless technology is discussed not only as a construction method, but as a critical enabler of smart, connected, and sustainable cities.

Panel discussions at ITEC often explore:

   The role of trenchless methods in minimizing infrastructure impact

   Integrating trenchless techniques into smart utility grids

   The environmental benefits of non-invasive construction

   Public-private partnership models for trenchless implementation

These insights help align technical innovation with national objectives, creating opportunities for collaboration between government, industry, and academia.

Building Networks and Business Opportunities

One of the most valued aspects of ITEC is its high-level networking environment, which facilitates dialogue and collaboration across the entire value chain of infrastructure development.

Participants include:

   CXOs and senior executives from construction and utility firms

   Directors of municipal planning and public works

   Project managers and engineers

   Product manufacturers and equipment suppliers

   Academics and technical consultants

Dedicated networking sessions, roundtables, and business matchmaking activities allow attendees to forge new partnerships, discover suppliers, and explore upcoming tenders and project opportunities.

Future-Focused Dialogues and Innovations

ITEC places significant emphasis on the future of trenchless technology. The final sessions of the conference often explore what's next for the industry, including:

   Integration of digital twin models for infrastructure mapping

   Robotics in pipeline inspection and repair

   Sustainable material innovations for underground construction

   Predictive analytics for utility network performance

   Next-generation TBMs and automation enhancements

These future-focused discussions ensure that ITEC remains at the cutting edge of the global construction industry.

A Must-Attend Event for Infrastructure Innovators

As cities across Saudi Arabia and the wider region accelerate their development agendas, the International Trenchless Exhibition & Conference stands as an essential event for professionals working at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, and urban planning.

For anyone involved in:

   Urban infrastructure design or maintenance

   Utility network expansion

   Sustainable construction technologies

   Smart city and digital utility grid development

...ITEC offers unmatched value. It is a forum to learn, connect, and lead in the deployment of trenchless strategies that will define the future of infrastructure across the region.

JIBEX

JIBEX, inşaat ve inşaat sektöründe hızla temel bir etkinlik haline geliyor ve hem yerel hem de uluslararası şirketlerin Suudi Arabistan'ın gelişen pazarında mevcut olan geniş fırsatlardan yararlanmaları için ana bir platform sunuyor. Krallık'taki inşaat sektörü, petrol dışı ikinci en büyük sanayi olarak ortaya çıktı ve dikkate değer bir büyüme ve gelişme yaşadı.
