The NSTT (Netherlands Society for Trenchless Technology) covers over 200 companies, (government) agencies and people involved with trenchless techniques in The Netherlands and Belgium. Knowledge-driven and willing to make social impact they all stand together for enhancing trenchless technology.

The NSTT combines the trenchless techniques with four of the biggest challenges of today: sustainability, energy-transition, less inconvenience and the urgent housing shortage. NSTT provides knowledge, facts and figures to meet these challenges in a trenchless way. Of course all this is related to the special geological and spatial characteristics of the Delta-lands we're living in.

The NSTT unites our members: the questions and challenges of our principals and governments, the scientific knowledge from our institutes and the practical experience from our engineers, constructors and manufacturers. We believe in one-way spreading of knowledge by lectures, webinars, publications et cetera but also (and perhaps more important) we believe in exchanging experiences and contacts in live-meetings and events with our members. Because Trenchless means Together.

NSTT is founded in 1988. It has hosted the ISTT No-Dig in 1993 and 2005, both Events happening in the port of Rotterdam.

A few activities of our society

Each two years NSTT organizes the NSTT No-Dig Event. The next NSTT No-Dig Event will take place October 8 and 9, 2025.
Every year NSTT awards two prizes: the NSTT No-Dig Award (by jury, with focus on technical development and social impact) and the NSTT Publieksprijs (by voting, with focus on public outreach).
NSTT provides the digital Platform Veilig Sleufloos (Platform Safe Trenchless), for exchanging safety-incidents, developing safety instruments and so starting the learning curve for even safer techniques
and of course our meetings, seminars, website, publications and presentations, newsletters et cetera
