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
