The VT NASTT (North American Society for Trenchless Technology) Student Chapter Presents Deteriorating Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Exhibit

*The Virginia Tech NASTT (North American Society for Trenchless Technology) Student Chapter Presents Deteriorating Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Exhibit*

There has been a steady decline in the state of our water and wastewater infrastructure over the past two decades and a growing concern is that these services may currently be inadequate. Funding for these needs is limited, and a deferred maintenance, out-of-sight, out-of-mind philosophy still prevails in many regions. This exhibit will demonstrate some of the technologies currently being utilized to evaluate our water and waste water infrastructure.

Specifically, the hands-on activity will consist of engaging students to evaluate CCTV (Closed-Circuited Television) clips of wastewater pipes and completing a standard NASSCO Inspection Sheet.
