TAC has some objectives that it considers to be of prime importance in keeping up to date with safety and best practices in sync with ITA.
TAC promotes and advances underground tunneling and excavation technologies, safe design, construction and maintenance. It facilitates information exchange of activities and technical developments in this field.
TAC also acts as an intermediary between Canadian contractors, individuals or organizations and the ITA. It helps spread news, activities and developments of the ITA to its Canadian counterparts.
Most importantly TAC maintains a record or register of underground excavations, tunnels and other related works. This makes it convenient for contractors to gain information about the site conditions and utility lines passing through a particular area that they may be working on.
