Publisher’s Message – Who’s Ready for 2025?!
All of us at Trenchless Technology are excited to kick off the New Year with you!
Halfway through the decade and over the first five years, we’ve faced challenges (a pandemic, labor shortages, supply chain issues, to name a few), celebrated victories (the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law) and embraced new technologies (remote control capabilities for hydro excavators, and remote monitoring system for pumps, a new method to keep auger bores on target, AR & VR for training, to name just a few) that push our field forward.
In our first cover story of 2025, we focus on the rehab market and dive into what lies ahead. Editor Sharon M. Bueno interviewed four notable industry experts to get their take on trends and the rehab market’s outlook, offering a compelling read on the industry’s shift toward data-driven, preventive maintenance and a growing focus on laterals and manholes.
