NEW: T&D Underground Innovations
A new whitepaper from Ben Lanz, Sr. Director, Industry & External Affairs at Osmose Utility Services and a PDI2 board member, describes how the “movement toward undergrounding is more than a technical shift—it represents a structural transformation in how utilities conceive, plan, and justify infrastructure investment.”
The Myths of Undergrounding
A new series of videos from Continuum Capital's Mark Bridger discusses misconceptions about the nature, performance, and cost of undergrounding. The introduction explains the true cost of "strategic undergrounding."
Collaboration is a Gift
Joint Trench
Let’s start a conversation about joint trenching North American utilities in a single, common excavation (or trench). Other countries, and some North American electric utilities, have collaborated and used joint trenches for decades. Let’s explore the societal benefits of better safety, resilience, and affordability.
