The China International Trenchless Technology Exhibition (ITTC) is guided by the Trenchless Technology Professional Committee of the Geological Society of China (CSTT), the International Society for Trenchless Technology (ISTT), the Pipe Engineering Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the Center for Underground Infrastructure Research and Education (CUIRE) at the University of Texas at Austin. It is supported by the China Engineering Construction Standardization Association, the Pipeline Inspection and Rehabilitation Professional Committee of the China Municipal Engineering Association, Zhengzhou University, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), Chengdu University of Technology, Tongji University’s College of Civil Engineering, and other organizations.

The China International Trenchless Technology Exhibition (ITTC) reflects a period of rapid growth in China’s trenchless technology sector. The widespread application of trenchless technologies across municipal infrastructure, gas, telecommunications, petroleum, and other industries has driven significant advancements in this field.

The previous edition attracted more than 200 companies to register for participation; following a rigorous screening process, 61 companies showcased their latest products and technologies on-site. Among them, six made their debut at the exhibition, and approximately 85% of exhibitors presented dozens of physical prototypes. All vacant exhibition spaces were custom‑designed and fitted out. This year, domestically produced equipment demonstrated further improvements in performance, quality, and aesthetics.

In addition to drawing traditional international buyers from Russia, Malaysia, Singapore, Germany, India, Japan, and other countries, this edition also welcomed emerging market purchasers from Albania, Switzerland, Estonia, Mexico, Egypt, Kazakhstan, and beyond, who traveled to Suzhou. During the event, over 95% of participating entities concluded purchase‑sale agreements, with a substantial number of equipment items and exhibits retained for future acquisition. Overall, all exhibitors reported highly positive outcomes. (Copyright of this article belongs to Juzhan; unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.)

The China International Trenchless Technology Exhibition (ITTC) will continue to deepen international exchanges, enhance global participation and academic credibility, and strengthen the sharing of cutting-edge domestic and international technologies.
