Specialized Centers of Excellence for Research and IndustryGrowth With all the benefits of trenchless technologies in mind,NASTT has developed trenchless method- based Centers of Excellence within the organiza- tion.The first Center of Excellence focuses on the trenchless pipe bursting method and its full breadth of capabilities for potable water, gas, elec- trical, and sewer applications. Establishing a group focused on driving excel- lence within the discipline of pipe bursting will create energy and engagement with the trench- less industry and beyond,while continuing to fulfill NASTT’s mission to advance trenchless technology
