Deploying Trenchless Design in Today’s Utility Market

Wednesday, Sept. 14 | 2 p.m. Eastern

The ongoing challenges utilities face include the need for increased resiliency and reliability on their system. As the trend of placing both transmission and distribution cables underground gains traction, the details and methods to successfully execute an effective and efficient conversion are continuously being explored. Join us as we hone in on a utility’s trenchless installations of its electrical assets and what considerations need to be addressed before implementing the design into the next project. This webinar will cover:

  • Typical reasons for trenchless installations
  • Design risk identification and management of risks
  • Benefits and challenges of a trenchless design
  • Innovation in today’s underground utility market
