International No-Dig Auckland is excited to announce TRACTO as a Gold Sponsor for 2026, bringing one of the most recognisable names in trenchless technology onto the show floor.
Bringing decades of engineering expertise and a global footprint, TRACTO’s involvement signals a strong focus on practical solutions for pipeline installation and renewal across New Zealand and the world. The companies’ presence at the event will give contractors, asset owners and engineers direct access to technologies that are shaping how underground infrastructure is delivered today.
TRACTO’s relevance to the trenchless community runs deep. Known for developing systems that reduce surface disruption and environmental impact, the company has long been at the centre of advancing no-dig technologies.
Prime Creative Media Head of Marketing – Events Molly Hancock said having TRACTO on board at a Gold level reflects both the calibre of the event and the direction the industry is heading.
“TRACTO is a name that carries real weight in the trenchless space. The companies’ commitment to innovation aligns perfectly with what International No-Dig Auckland is all about,” Hancock said.
“Having them on the floor gives attendees the chance to engage with proven technology and the people behind it, which is where the real value of this event sits.
“Partners like TRACTO help elevate the conversation. They bring experience from across global markets, and that perspective is incredibly important as New Zealand continues to invest in smarter, less disruptive infrastructure solutions.”
TRACTO echoed that sentiment, highlighting the importance of face-to-face engagement in a rapidly evolving sector.
“International No-Dig is a unique opportunity to connect with global leaders in trenchless technology and to have meaningful, practical conversations about real-world projects,” TRACTO Sales Manager Daniel Toms said.
“Whether you’re involved in planning, design, or delivery, this event offers the chance to explore innovative approaches, discuss challenges, and discover more efficient and sustainable ways to execute pipeline installation and renewal. It’s an environment where ideas are shared, solutions are explored, and valuable industry connections are built.”
As demand grows for more sustainable construction practices, TRACTO sees trenchless methods playing an increasingly critical role.
“As infrastructure demands grow and sustainability becomes increasingly important, trenchless methods are playing a critical role in modern construction practices,” Toms said.
“TRACTO is committed to supporting this transition by sharing knowledge, demonstrating proven technologies, and strengthening partnerships. The event also aligns with our ongoing focus on expanding our presence and service capabilities throughout New Zealand and the wider Australasian market.”
For those making decisions on projects, the company emphasised the importance of seeing solutions up close.
“For decision makers, experiencing these technologies firsthand is incredibly valuable. Seeing equipment up close and engaging directly with experts provides a much deeper understanding than brochures or online content alone,” he said.
“Attendees will gain insight into how trenchless solutions can reduce environmental impact, minimize surface disruption, and deliver cost-effective outcomes across a wide range of applications.
“It also provides an opportunity to explore which systems are best suited to specific project requirements, helping decision makers make more informed, confident choices.”
TRACTO will showcase a comprehensive overview of its trenchless technology portfolio at the event, highlighting solutions designed to meet a wide range of project needs.
This includes:
• GRUNDOMAT soil displacement hammers for efficient and precise installation
• GRUNDORAM for powerful pipe ramming applications
• GRUNDODRILL systems for advanced horizontal directional drilling
• GRUNDOBURST technology for trenchless pipe renewal
• PRIME DRILLING HDD rigs, offering high-performance drilling solutions from 45 tonnes and above
• A range of supporting tooling and digital solutions that enhance performance, efficiency, and project visibility
“Our team will be on hand to discuss specific applications, provide technical insights, and help visitors identify the right solutions for their projects,” he said.
With global leaders like TRACTO continuing to come on board, International No-Dig Auckland is shaping up as a key meeting point for the trenchless community.
