9^th Trenchless Romania – Conference & Exhibition

Trenchless Romania Conference & Exhibition

is the main event centered around innovative underground construction techniques. It combines an exhibition showcasing the latest trenchless technologies with a fair atmosphere to engage the public and promote sustainable infrastructure development. The event features interactive sessions containing study cases presentations and debates, indoor and outdoor exhibition areas, demonstrations, and educational sessions to appeal and better connect to the younger generations of professionals.

FABULOUS FACTS ABOUT BUCHAREST

The “Little Paris” of the East. Bucharest earned this nickname due to its elegant architecture, wide boulevards, and vibrant cultural life.

The Arch of Triumph, modeled after Paris’s Arc de Triomphe, adds to the French flair.

Home to the World’s Heaviest Building – The Palace of Parliament is the second-largest administrative building in the world and the heaviest by mass. It has over 3,100 rooms and takes an hour to walk around its perimeter. Dancing Fountains at Piața Unirii (picture) The Bucharest Fountains offer spectacular light and music shows every weekend from May to October. It’s one of the largest urban water features in Europe.

MAIN ATTRACTIONS OF BUCHAREST

The People’s Salvation Cathedral, with its main patronage (feast day) dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord and a secondary patronage honoring Saint Andrew the Apostle, Protector of Romania, is the largest church in Romania and one of the most imposing Orthodox places of worship in the world. Architecturally, it is considered the tallest and largest Orthodox cathedral globally, in terms of both volume and built area.

Memorial of Rebirth A striking marble monument with a metal crown honoring victims of the 1989 Revolution. Its abstract design has sparked debate, making it a symbol of both remembrance and artistic controversy.

Cărturești Carusel A stunning bookstore in a restored 19th-century building with spiral staircases and a rooftop café. Often called one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

GROWING TRENCHLESS COMMUNITY

• Interactive exhibits:

Engaging with hands-on displays that explain the benefits of trenchless technology in an accessible way.

• Entertainment zone:

Creating dedicated area with games, activities, and educational exhibits designed especially for students to learn about underground infrastructure.

• Community engagement:
• Partnership with local universities 

National University of Science & Technology Politechnica Bucharest, Technical University of Civil Engineering in Bucharest, Faculty of Hydrotehnics and community organizations for educating the public about the importance of sustainable infrastructure.

• ”Dig-free” zones:

Designate areas where visitors can experience trenchless technology firsthand, perhaps with virtual reality simulations or interactive exhibits.

EVENT STRUCTURE

2 panels with minimum 6 speakers that will stand their opinion about the panel’s subject with study cases and real examples.

FIRST PANNEL

• Sustainability in trenchless construction
  Technical insights into how trenchless methods minimize surface disruption, lower CO2 emissions, and optimize resource use in underground utility installations.

SECOND PANNEL

• AI Impacting Trenchless Industry
  “Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the trenchless industry by enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of subsurface infrastructure assessment, planning, and maintenance. AI-driven tools analyze data from CCTV inspections, ground-penetrating radar, and sensors to detect defects, predict failures, and optimize trenchless methods like pipe relining or horizontal directional drilling. This leads to reduced downtime, improved safety, and cost-effective asset management.”
  Technology fuelled by artificial intelligence (AI) is driving change in the water sector.Concrete areas within the trenchless industry where AI technologies are already making or can make a significant impact:
  • Pipeline Inspection & Defect Detection
  • Predictive Maintenance
  • Data Interpretation from NDE Tools
  • Trenchless Method Selection & Planning
  • Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Optimization

TRENCHLESS ROMANIA ACADEMY

This year’s edition will host Trenchless Academy, a new training project initiated by Trenchless Romania Club
in partnership with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics in Construction Bucharest, designed to provide concrete answers to the needs of all young qualified professionals.

Trenchless Academy is an exclusive project dedicated to the event’s partners — offering a unique opportunity to invest in the future of the industry,
to respond to the shortage of qualified personnel and to build a real bridge between companies and the new generation of specialized technicians.

ABOUT THE VENUE

CARO HOTEL

Hotel Caro, a place filled with history The hotel’s roots trace back to the interwar period, with its original facade built in 1930. During the communist era, the site housed a Glucose Factory, which inspired the industrial design theme and even the naming of some relaxation spaces. In 1994, the property was transformed into a hotel, starting with just 12 rooms. Today, it’s a sprawling urban resort known for preserving its industrial heritage through red brick architecture, metallic accents, and refurbished machinery.
