Rehab/Relining + Get AlertsIn preparation for Lynn Osborn’s transition away from NASSCO’s technical director position and into his role as president of Utility Engineering & Surveying Institute, last spring NASSCO conducted an extensive, nationwide search to find his replacement.
We received many applications from highly qualified industry professionals to take over Osborn’s position, and they all brought something unique to the role. Some had more experience in specific trenchless technologies than the others. Some had postgraduate degrees, while others learned everything they knew in the field. Some had years of experience training Pipeline Assessment and Certification Programs, others training Inspector Training and Certification Programs, and a few had no experience in either. Some worked previously for cities, some for contractors, others for engineering firms and a few for manufacturers or suppliers.
The common denominator was they all shared NASSCO’s mission to set standards for the assessment, maintenance and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure and to ensure the continued acceptance and growth of trenchless technologies.
There was a lot to consider in making the right choice. It’s important that all technologies are represented fairly, as well as different points of view — meaning the municipal, contractor and engineer perspectives. As a result, we have decided to form NASSCO’s Technical Advisory Council, which will be comprised of the top applicants for this important position. As of press time, formal agreements have not been signed by all of the council members, but by the time this article is published, the names of these individuals will be posted at www.nassco.org.
All Technical Advisory Council members will support NASSCO in its mission, and in doing so, each member will know, understand and represent trenchless technologies as viable solutions for failing underground infrastructure, remaining objective in his or her presentation of trenchless technologies and recognizing the benefits of each for unique purposes. The council will accomplish this through industry advocacy, education and the development of resources.
