Background
Ian holds a BSc (Hons) degree from Camborne School of Mines and spent the first ten years of his career as a frontline production mining engineer, planning and environmental engineer and mining analyst before moving into the journalistic field with World Tunnelling in 1989. In 1990 he became launch editor of No-Dig International magazine. His experience as a frontline engineer has enabled Ian to review equipment, applications and projects with an engineers eye thereby relating the relevant engineering issues of the various trenchless technologies to both fellow engineers and lay-people worldwide, across all levels of understanding and experience. Over the next 15 years No-Dig International helped to spread the word of the trenchless industry and its range of technologies around the globe, hand-in-hand with the work of the ISTT. This helped trenchless technology transform from the embryonic industry it then was into the widely accepted industry it is today. One that is now being accepted by clients, contrcators and consultants worldwide for its cost-effective, speedy and environmentally-sound applications, with minimum disruption to both the general public and modern heavily trafficked urban areas.
