Building strong roads starts beneath the surface—mastering pipe and culvert installation makes all the difference. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this training a success!

Big thanks to our instructor, Tim Montag for leading an engaging and informative full-day session. Appreciate the PA State Association of Township Supervisors for organizing another valuable training that continues to support municipalities and transportation professionals across Pennsylvania.
