摘要

The American Society of Civil Engineers Pipeline Division recently made major strides into the global market on Oct. 19-21, 2009 when it sponsored the first International Conference of Pipeline and Trenchless Technology (ICPTT) at the Regal International East Asia Hotel in Shanghai, China.rnThe Pipeline Division joined with the China Society for Trenchless Technology, China-U.S. Joint Center for Trenchless Research & Development (CTRD), and the Center for Underground Infrastructure Research & Education (CUIRE), under a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), to provide a world forum for 80 oral presentations and poster discussions of 227 papers published in the ICPTT Proceedings. The conference theme was "Advances and Experiences with Pipelines and Trenchless Technology for Water, Sewer, Gas and Oil Applications." This conference was a resounding success with more than 350 participants and over $7 million in business transactions at this first-ever event in China.
