In the fall of 2017, we surveyed NASSCO members with one simple question: What keeps you up at night? The No. 1 response to this question was safety in the workplace.

To help NASSCO members be more successful in the assessment, maintenance, and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure, we want to do everything we can to provide information and resources to help their crews and communities stay safe.

We will focus on the important topic of safety at NASSCO’s 2019 Annual Conference April 9-13 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As part of this initiative, we have rebranded what was formerly known as “Technical Day” to “The Exchange.” We believe this better defines the importance of sharing information between municipalities, contractors, engineers and others aligned to the trenchless technology industry so that everyone involved has the tools and information necessary to keep our working environments safe.

The Exchange will feature a variety of industry professionals who will come together to share their knowledge and expertise. Presenters and topics will include:

• Trenchless Technology Center at Louisiana Tech University: CIPP Emissions Study – Phase 2
• Gainesville, Florida: Criticality analysis using Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program risk-based management
• West Palm Beach, Florida: Pressure pipe integrity programs
• Industry Expert Panel Discussion: Job site checklists, cross-bore safety, confined space, traffic control, and more.

Typically open to NASSCO members only, in 2019 The Exchange will be an event that anyone involved in underground infrastructure may attend.

In addition to providing an excellent educational experience, NASSCO’s Annual Conference provides the opportunity for members to participate in our many dynamic and highly-active committees, network with peers, and learn about the many initiatives underway at NASSCO including federal relations, improvements to the PACP and Inspector Training and Certification Program programs, and important industry initiatives that affect us all.
