The UCTA is a nonprofit organization now entering its eighteenth year of operation. It has grown from the original 12 members to nearly 50 corporate sponsors. Its members maintain total operations through time contributions.

UCTA's purpose is to advance the science and practice of installing, repairing, maintaining and replacing utility lines and related facilities through construction and rehabilitation techniques. This includes municipal water, sewer and waste water, gas distribution, oil gas transmission and gathering, telephone, electric and cable systems. The UCTA also serves to promote education, training, research, development and information concerning underground technology and to promote the use of that technology.

The focus of the organization is nation-wide where companies face similar problems in the construction and maintenance of their underground piping systems. Utility Company, Engineering, Contractor, Manufacturer, Sales Distribution, Academia and Research and the Trade Press represent the governing Board of Directors.

UCTA holds bimonthly general luncheon meetings in the months of February, April, June, August, October and December on the first Tuesday of the month. At each meeting, a keynote speaker addresses issues pertinent to the growing trenchless industry.

UCTA is looking for candidates who have the knowledge, skill and energy to lead our association. What a great opportunity for you to offer your expertise and ideas to the association. Begin your involvement as a UCTA leader now by letting us hear from you today.
