LAMSTT strategic plan 2024-2028

VISION

In 2028, we will be the leading Association that consolidates the development and promotion of trenchless technologies in Latin America, establishing and implementing standards that generate value for the benefit of the community.

MISSION

In the period 2024-2028, we will advance in the change from traditional methodologies to trenchless technologies in the Latin American region, relying on the alternative of prolonging the useful life of existing pipes. For new pipe installations, we advance the local production of tubes and coatings to reduce costs that will make it more competitive and generate more employment. We will promote training to have more professionals capable of generating projects with trenchless technologies within the contracting entities and as external consultants. A mass media campaign so that the community is linked to the purpose and demands its use.
