Halton Region recognized for its commitment to trenchless technology on construction projects

During its 20th anniversary, the North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) recently recognized Halton Region for its significant contribution and education to trenchless technology, which refers to construction methods that repair, replace or install buried pipes and structures without any, or minimal, excavation.

“Improving the quality of life – whether it’s helping to reduce commute times or providing Halton with clean, safe drinking water – is a top priority,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “Using trenchless technology when repairing or installing Regional watermains and wastewater mains helps us minimize the inconvenience related to construction since we can go under roads instead of through them.”

This year alone, Halton Region is making a significant commitment to infrastructure – more than $190 million – through its Building a Better Halton plan. Building a Better Halton is the Region’s infrastructure plan for all public works projects and includes $63.4 million in water and wastewater projects and $132.6 million in transportation infrastructure improvements.
