AWWA-PNWS 2025 Section Conference

Thank you to everyone who connected with us at the AWWA Pacific Northwest Section Conference in Boise, Idaho, from May 7–9, 2025. We appreciated the opportunity to share how our Dynamic Response Imaging™ (DRI) technology is transforming pipeline condition assessments.

Booth #733

Attendees engaged with our team to explore how DRI provides high-resolution, external, non-invasive assessments of aging pipelines, aiding in proactive infrastructure management.

Real Results from the City of Gresham

Cameron Lee presented “Proactive Pipeline Management: Gresham’s Innovative Approach to Watermain Assessment Using Nonlinear Vibroacoustics” on Thursday, May 8, at 9:45 AM in Room 120A. The session detailed how Gresham utilized DRI to evaluate aging cast and ductile iron water mains during a significant roadworks project, enabling data-driven capital planning decisions.
