EPA Verification
The Scientific Verification arm of the EPA – the Environmental Technology Verification Center – organized a panel of industry specialists and DOT directors, who designed and operated the verification protocol for a comparison of the tommy™ installation method and traditional trenching.
Their conclusion was that the tommy™ is 3-5 faster than the standard trench method, while producing “consistent, dependable results.”
