Dr Downey will share his considerable knowledge and expertise on the topic ‘Old Problems, New Solutions – the contribution of Trenchless Technology 21st Century pipeline construction and rehabilitation’. Dr Downey is returning to Australia by popular demand following the very successful ASTT Roadshow.
