As a company that have made outstanding accomplishments and exceptional contributions to the advancement of the North American trenchless industry and NASTT, the Hall of Fame recognizes North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT) and accepts Steve Kramer, senior vice-president of Cowi in North America.
Considering his 40 years’ experience in engineering/construction and research and development in the infrastructure industry, Kramer oversees the growth and progress of the transportation and water business across North America at Cowi.
As a pioneer and leader in the underground and trenchless industry, Kramer is a key figure in the development of trenchless tools and techniques more than 25 years ago that are still used today, Cowi claims.
According to Kramer: “It is a tremendous and very special honor to be elected to the Trenchless Hall of Fame and be included among the notable members. Being part of the trenchless community has played an influential and integral role in my entire career.”
While the responsibility of design and construction of more than 75 underground and trenchless projects in the US, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Singapore and New Zealand was up to Kramer, he also holds two Bachelor of Science degrees from Washington University in St Louis – Civil Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy, and a Masters in Management from Northwestern University. He is also a professional engineer in five states.
