Annual seminars and conferences dedicated to Trenchless Technology have been held in Odessa, the administrative centre of the Odessa province located in southern Ukraine, since 2004.
Of the 58,000 kilometres of sewer pipelines and manifolds in the Ukraine, it is estimated that one third are in extremely bad condition. Trenchless Technology is recognised as necessary to improve water, sewage and gas pipelines. In 2004, there were four or five HDD machines in Ukraine; the number is now estimated to exceed 50.
