Working toward a stronger Austin utility and excavation industry through training, continued education and participation in the communities in which we live.
A strong board of 11 industry contractors and associates came together in December 2022 to offer industry-specific training and education, strengthen local relationships, create unique business opportunities, stay up-to-date on the latest industry news, and participate in shaping industry-related legislation.
We welcome prospective members at events throughout the year.
