1. The three parties will endeavor to apply for financial funds to support a long-term and sustainable cooperation in research on underground lifeline assessment and trenchless technology. In order to accomplish this task, they will collaborate to provide all the required resources and equipment.
2. The parties will be involved in exchange of visiting scholars for purpose of lecturing and training and providing technical assistance on underground lifeline assessment and trenchless technology and conduct related research.
3. The parties agree that they would publish results of research projects in both U.S. and Chinese technical journals and trade and professional conferences.
The general agreement is not considered to be a contract creating legal and financial relationships between the parties. Rather, it is
designed to facilitate and develop a genuine and mutually beneficial exchange process/research relationship, and so forth.

In honor of Ben Cocogliato, the Center for Underground Infrastructure Research and Education (CUIRE) at The University of Texas at
Arlington awarded two student scholarships. Ben was TT Technologies’ National Marketing Manager, who passed away last
November. The recipients of these scholarships are two graduate students at the new Construction Management area at the Department of Civi Engineering. Each student received $1,000 in cash, and the University waived the out-state tuition,
which amounted to several thousand dollars. (READ MORE...)
