Field notes, installations and the occasional thing worth knowing from the plant.
Recent projects, and the old installs that keep proving the point.
From a multi-year rehabilitation program on El Paso's southeast side: bare concrete on the left, and a finished Triplex Liner on the right. Manholes, invert channels and major wet wells, rebuilt from the inside and returned to service.
Part of the Lower Valley Water District's ongoing rehabilitation program: liners fabricated at the plant in Northwest Florida, shipped west, and installed through the night.
A working lift station relined wall to floor and returned to service. The structures a city cannot afford to lose are the ones this system was built for.
This liner was installed on June 7, 1991 and photographed again on March 24, 2026. More than thirty-four years in service, still performing as designed.
The more we inspect liners manufactured and installed decades ago by Ron McNeil, the more we see a product that performs in serious sewer environments. We challenge any other rehab method to show its twenty and thirty year old work.
An eighty-three foot Triplex Liner installed in a drill-drop manhole in freezing temperatures. The extremely difficult structures are the ones we handle.
The Florida Department of Transportation contracted us to line a culvert at the base of the Destin Pass bridge, concerned that infiltration would undermine the roadbed. This photograph was taken eighteen years later. It is doing just fine.
We reinspected manholes lined in 1993 in Allen, Texas. A little dirty, and still going strong, with the bench and invert intact.
Six structures were taking on hundreds of thousands of gallons of groundwater a day, treated at the city's expense, and a chemical grout fix had already failed. Triplex Liners stopped the infiltration permanently, saving the city over $1.5 million a year in treatment costs.
We have lost count of the times we have been called in behind another company's failed rehab product. Here, a failed coating peels out by hand before the structure is lined properly with a Triplex Liner.
A failed spray-on epoxy coating in a Texas manhole, removed in thin, brittle fragments before a Triplex Liner went in. Spray-on coatings are, in many cases, a temporary band-aid fix.
Manhole rehabilitation across the town of Cowarts, Alabama, completed and in service.
Installed by Ron McNeil for the City of Mary Esther on January 15, 1998, and inspected in 2022: the liner is in great shape more than twenty-four years later.
