Meet PICA at AWWA’s ACE26 – Annual Conference & Expo | June 21–24, 2026 | Washington, D.C.
PICA Corp is pleased to announce our participation in AWWA’s 2026 Annual Conference & Expo (ACE26), taking place June 21–24, 2026, in Washington, D.C. As the world’s premier event for drinking-water professionals, ACE brings together utilities, engineers, scientists, asset managers, regulators, and technology innovators dedicated to advancing safe, reliable, and resilient water systems.
ACE26 will focus on the most urgent challenges facing the global water sector—including aging infrastructure, climate resilience, advanced asset management, cybersecurity, PFAS, and workforce development. With thousands of water professionals from around the world gathering in the nation’s capital, ACE26 will once again provide unmatched opportunities for education, collaboration, product discovery, and technical excellence.
PICA is proud to join AWWA in Washington, D.C., and continue supporting the industry with advanced NDT (non-destructive testing) pipeline inspection and condition-assessment technologies that help utilities prevent failures and protect their most critical buried assets.
Why Visit PICA at ACE26?
Every year, water utilities confront the growing reality of aging infrastructure and pipeline failures that can disrupt service, threaten water quality, and drive major unplanned costs. Many of these issues remain hidden underground until it’s too late—unless utilities use precise, in-pipe inspection technologies to reveal threats early.
At ACE26, PICA experts will be available to discuss how our multi-sensor, electromagnetic, and acoustic inspection tools deliver accurate, actionable data on pipeline condition—without shutdowns.
At the PICA booth, attendees can explore:
Advanced NDT solutions for water mains, large-diameter transmission mains, raw-water pipelines, and critical distribution systems.
Inspection technologies capable of detecting corrosion, wall thinning, wire breaks, leaks, gas pockets, liner defects, and structural distress.
Tools designed for steel, PCCP, DIP, CIP, HDPE, PVC, mortar-lined, epoxy-lined, and rubber-lined pipes.
Real-world case studies where PICA helped utilities prevent catastrophic failures and extend asset service life.
How PICA’s condition-assessment data strengthens risk-based asset management programs and supports data-driven decision-making.
Whether you oversee urban infrastructure or regional transmission lines, PICA provides clarity where utilities need it most.
