About Us
Many of the services that vibrant communities rely on – including water, sewer, stormwater, and internet – involve underground infrastructure. At the same time, this infrastructure is under increasing pressure due to aging systems, population growth in urban centres, and climate change.
The Canadian Underground Infrastructure Innovation Centre (CUIIC) was established in 2022. CUIIC is a cross-Canada initiative located at the University of Alberta. We have partners at the University of Waterloo and members across Canada. CUIIC focuses on providing stakeholders with opportunities to collaborate on research and training opportunities in underground infrastructure. Together, we foster innovation to provide cost-effective, sustainable solutions to the challenges involved in building, assessing, and rehabilitating underground infrastructure.
