Tangxing Technology, Drillto And TYSIM Jointly Host Underground Trenchless Technology Seminar in Almaty
Sep 22, 2026|
Following the successful participation in Mining & Metals Central Asia in Almaty, Tangxing Technology, Drillto and TYSIM jointly organized a high-quality technical seminar focused on underground space construction and trenchless technology in Central Asia.
Under the theme "Empowered by Xing, Established by Xin, Expanding through Tong", the event brought together industry professionals, technical experts and customers to exchange insights into the development of trenchless construction technology, underground infrastructure and non-excavation equipment in the Central Asian market.
Central Asia (Almaty) Underground Trenchless Technology Exchange Conference
The seminar was designed as a professional platform for technical communication and industry cooperation following Mining & Metals Central Asia.
With the theme , the event represented the complementary strengths of the three participating companies:
Tangxing Technology - empowering underground construction with technology and innovation
TYSIM - building market confidence through professional equipment and reliable solutions
Drillto - expanding underground infrastructure opportunities through trenchless technology
The three companies brought together their respective technical expertise and market experience to discuss the opportunities and challenges of underground construction in Central Asia.
From Exhibition Display to Technical Exchange
Mining & Metals Central Asia provided an important opportunity for Chinese equipment manufacturers and Central Asian customers to meet and communicate.
After the exhibition, the three companies continued the conversation through a dedicated technical exchange seminar. The event provided a more focused environment for discussing real construction requirements, equipment selection, geological conditions and trenchless construction solutions.
Compared with a conventional product presentation, the seminar placed greater emphasis on technical communication, project requirements and practical applications.
Participants could gain a deeper understanding of how modern trenchless equipment can be applied to underground pipeline installation and other underground infrastructure projects.
Why Trenchless Technology Matters in Central Asia
Central Asia is experiencing continued investment in infrastructure, utilities, energy, water supply, telecommunications and urban development.
As underground infrastructure becomes increasingly important, construction companies face practical challenges when installing pipelines and cables in areas where traditional open excavation can cause significant disruption.
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and other trenchless construction technologies provide an alternative approach.
Instead of excavating the entire surface along a pipeline route, trenchless methods can create underground passages with significantly less surface disturbance.
This makes trenchless technology particularly relevant for projects involving:
Water supply pipelines
Sewer pipelines
Natural gas pipelines
Power cable installation
Fiber-optic and communication networks
Road and highway crossings
Railway crossings
River and waterway crossings
Urban underground utility construction
The technology can help construction teams reduce surface excavation, maintain traffic flow and minimize disruption to existing infrastructure when project conditions are suitable.
Technical Exchange Around Real Construction Requirements
A key focus of the Almaty seminar was the relationship between equipment performance and actual project conditions.
For trenchless construction, selecting a machine cannot rely solely on maximum pullback force or equipment size.
Important project parameters may include:
Pipeline diameter
Crossing length
Maximum drilling depth
Geological conditions
Groundwater conditions
Rock content
Required reaming diameter
Drilling fluid requirements
Required pullback force
Torque requirements
Available working space
Entry and exit conditions
For example, a machine selected for a short urban utility crossing may have very different requirements from equipment used for a long-distance pipeline crossing through difficult geological formations.
This engineering-oriented approach was an important part of the technical communication during the seminar.
Building Cooperation Through Complementary Strengths
The joint organization of the seminar also demonstrated the value of cooperation among specialized equipment manufacturers.
Rather than focusing on a single product category, the event brought together different areas of expertise within the underground construction industry.
Through technical exchange, the three companies were able to discuss how different equipment technologies and construction solutions can work together to address increasingly diversified underground engineering requirements.
For customers in Central Asia, this type of industry communication provides an opportunity to better understand available technologies and make equipment decisions based on actual project conditions.
Drillto: Expanding Trenchless Technology Applications
As a professional manufacturer of Horizontal Directional Drilling Machines and trenchless construction equipment, Drillto has been focused on underground pipeline installation and related technologies for many years.The company's product portfolio covers different HDD equipment configurations for applications including power, telecommunications, water, sewage and gas pipeline installation.
Drillto also emphasizes project-oriented technical support, including:
HDD machine selection
Equipment configuration
Construction guidance
Operator training
Drilling technology support
Machine maintenance
After-sales technical service
For international projects, equipment performance is only one part of the solution. Technical communication, application experience and after-sales support can also play an important role in helping customers complete projects successfully.
Connecting Chinese Trenchless Technology with Central Asian Projects
The Almaty seminar represented another step in strengthening communication between Chinese underground construction equipment manufacturers and the Central Asian market.
For Drillto, participation in this type of technical exchange is not simply about presenting products.
It is also an opportunity to better understand local construction requirements, geological conditions and customer expectations, while sharing practical experience in HDD and trenchless pipeline installation.
Through continuous technical communication and cooperation, Chinese trenchless equipment manufacturers can provide more targeted solutions for international underground infrastructure projects.
