“Smart cities,” has been a buzz phrase in municipal circles for the last decade as cities transition from paper and pencil record keeping to a digitized model. One of the areas where this has taken a greater hold is on the delivery of utilities like water, electric and gas. This talk and shift in technology is now heading to the sanitary sewer pipes under our feet.

One of the companies at the forefront of delivering underground asset data to smart cities is RH Borden, headquartered in South Jordan, Utah. The company was founded by Robert “Bob” Borden and is now helmed by his son Jon Borden, the company’s president.
