This webinar will discuss how to replace aging stormwater facilities using open-cut or trenchless methods. The presenter will also illustrate how to use trenchless renewal to extend the service life of stormwater facilities. The webinar will focus primarily on the trenchless renewal of culverts that range in diameter from twelve inches to over twelve feet.
