About

Dr. Tom Iseley is a pioneering figure in trenchless technology and underground infrastructure rehabilitation, with a career dedicated to advancing the methods by which we assess, maintain, and renew aging sewer and water systems. His foundational work, particularly the highly cited 2002 paper "Rehabilitation Alternatives for Concrete and Brick Sewers," established a critical framework for moving beyond reactive repairs toward comprehensive, proactive infrastructure management. This work, which has garnered over 20 citations, remains a cornerstone reference for engineers and municipalities grappling with deteriorating collection systems. More recently, Dr. Iseley has been at the forefront of innovation in pressure pipe renewal, as demonstrated by his 2018 work on Spray in Place Pipe (SIPP) technology. This research details the development of a composite materials system and implementation methodology designed to structurally rehabilitate pressure pipes—a significant leap beyond the non-structural and semi-structural linings that previously defined the state of the art. Through these contributions, Dr. Iseley has profoundly shaped modern trenchless engineering, providing the industry with both the strategic vision and the technical solutions necessary to build more resilient and sustainable underground infrastructure.
