The North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) recently announced the finalists for the 2022 Abbott Innovative Product & Services Award competition.
The Abbott Innovative Product & Services Award celebrates companies with a state-of-the-art product or service developed or re-launched in the past two years making a significant impact in advancing the trenchless industry in the areas of rehabilitation or new installation.
Finalists are judged on innovation (concept, method, development); value (need, advantages, cost); and impact (sustainability, social/environmental responsibility and potential).
