Winning projects are chosen on the basis of technical advancement, technical complexity, milestones and records achieved, interaction and cooperation and advancement of the trenchless industry. We have a committee of experts to review new installation project submissions and one to do the same for rehabilitation submissions.

Municipal Roundtable Webcast Series

Not only does this issue recognize the Project of the Year award winners, but it also helps advance the industry by showing just how far trenchless can go. With that in mind, Trenchless Technology has also established a quarterly Municipal Roundtable Webcast series that brings together a panel of system owners to discuss the successes, challenges and benefits they have discovered with regards to using trenchless technologies. These are live sessions moderated by Trenchless Technology’s editors Sharon Bueno and Mike Kezdi that are also recorded for on-demand viewing.
