In the early days of the COVID-19 restrictions, NASSCO’s board of directors made the solid decision to cancel the association’s Annual Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, and to pause the planning of other industry events, including NASSCO’s Motor City Exchange and Crescent City Exchange events tentatively scheduled for this fall.

Board members were also determined to stay “Strong and Steady in 2020” by agreeing to extend their terms for one more year. Following suit, the majority of NASSCO committee chairs and co-chairs also agreed to extend their appointments to continue focused leadership, minimize disruptions and keep their various industry goals on course. Using technology to its fullest, NASSCO held its annual membership meeting via Zoom in April and broadcast a second webinar on the impressive NASSCO committee accomplishments in June.

The three pillars of NASSCO — all designed to build awareness of aging underground infrastructure — are education, technical resources and advocacy. NASSCO’s 2019 committee accomplishments aligned with these three areas in many ways including the Government Relations Committee’s first-ever NASSCO Capitol Hill Fly-In; the Infrastructure Condition Assessment Committee elevating the need to address pressure pipe in PACP coding; the Lateral Committee’s huge win when IAPMO granted NASSCO petitions to amend Uniform Plumbing Code 715.3 to protect CIPP and other trenchless technologies; the Pipe Rehab Committee’s oversight of the Trenchless Technology Center at Louisiana Tech University’s final report on CIPP emission safety; and so much more. To learn about all NASSCO committee accomplishments in 2019, visit www.nassco.org/get-involved/join-a-committee.

Without skipping a beat, NASSCO committees are running full steam ahead this summer with new goals including, among many others, the Grouting Committee’s research on grouting materials, the release of PACP version 7.0.4, the Health & Safety Committee’s update of CIPP Specification Guidelines (based on the Trenchless Technology Center’s research findings), and the development of a number of new technical resources to objectively help guide our industry.

By remaining Strong and Steady in 2020, NASSCO is gaining momentum and is more productive than ever before. If you are a current NASSCO member, get involved by joining one of our dynamic committees. If you are not yet a member, join us in setting standards for the assessment, maintenance and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure and ensuring the continued acceptance and growth of trenchless technologies.
