In 2010, the NASTT Board of Directors voted to create a Hall of Fame in order to ensure that the Society’s most outstanding and praiseworthy members received due recognition. The intent of the NASTT Hall of Fame is to preserve the outstanding accomplishments of these exceptional individuals and to honor their contributions to the advancement of both the trenchless industry and NASTT.  

Members may be elected from all five NASTT membership categories: 

1. Manufacturers and Suppliers
2. Engineers and Consultants
3. Municipal and Utility Employees
4. Contractors
5. Academia 

This year’s NASTT Hall of Fame Class is: the late Gary Vermeer, founder of Vermeer Corporation; Frank Canon, Baroid Industrial Drilling Products; and Bernie Krzys, President and Publisher of Trenchless Technology magazine. 

Our new Inductees will be honored at the annual NASTT No-Dig Show during the Gala Awards Dinner on March 13. Congratulations to the inaugural NASTT 2012 Hall of Fame Inductees!
