America's Underground Infrastructure Is Falling Apart
Every city runs on infrastructure nobody sees: manholes, lift stations, wet wells. Sewer gas eats the concrete, and years of corrosion end in leaks and lost strength. Cities have spent decades paying for temporary fixes to a permanent problem.
The Triplex Liner System Is the Permanent Fix
The Triplex Liner is not a coating. It is a new structural wall of fiberglass and a continuous corrosion barrier, cured in place inside the existing structure. The structure gets its strength back and keeps it.
The system has been patented, proven in service, and designed and tested to last up to 100 years in sewer conditions.
It is installed in cities across the United States, Canada and Australia.
Do It Right Once
Temporary fixes like spray-ons and coatings protect a surface for a short time. Real rehabilitation requires the Triplex Liner: the structure gets its strength and its corrosion protection back in one operation.
That is why cities that have tried both specify the liner. It turns a maintenance cycle into a finished repair.
How It’s Done
Every liner is measured against the structure it will repair and custom built at our factory. On site, the work moves fast: the structure is prepped, the liner is cured in place, and the structure returns to service. For a typical manhole, installation is completed in a single day.
Engineers can request the full specification package. The disruption a city fears from rehabilitation is the part we engineered out.
Measured and Built
Every liner starts at our factory in Northwest Florida, custom built to the measurements of the structure it will repair, in two pieces: the shaft and the bottom disc.
Prepped and Installed
On site, the structure is cleaned back to sound wall. The crew saturates the liner, lowers it in, presses it into full contact with the structure, and cures it in place with steam and air.
Back in Service
The inlets and outlets are cut and reopened, and the structure returns to service with a new structural wall inside the old one. Installation for a typical manhole is completed the same day.
Built for the Toughest Jobs
Deep, in freezing temperatures, in the middle of Edmonton, Alberta. Some structures are critical to a city's health and nearly impossible to take offline: deep, downtown, on streets that cannot close. That is the work this system was built for. The liner goes in through the opening that is already there, one piece, built for that structure, and the street is back the same day.
Working in Alabama
Alabama systems report their overflows to the state, so the structures that keep failing are visible and they stay visible. We work with Alabama municipalities, sewer boards and consulting engineers on the manholes and lift stations behind those reports. If rehabilitation is in your capital plan, we can help you scope and specify it.
Triplex Liners in Alabama
Triplex Liners have been going into Alabama structures since 1991, from Mobile and the coast up through Birmingham and the Tennessee Valley. The most recent Alabama work was in 2026.
Alabama is next door to the plant. A liner for an Alabama structure is made in Northwest Florida and trucked, which keeps the gap between measuring a structure and lining it short.
Cities in Alabama With Triplex Liners in the Ground
Cowarts, Brent, Birmingham, Citronelle, Mobile, Dothan, Rainbow City, Eufaula, Daphne, Elba, Samson, Gadsden, Fairhope, Atmore and Brewton.
Where We Take Projects in Alabama
We take projects across the state. Huntsville, Montgomery, Tuscaloosa, Hoover, Auburn, Decatur, Madison, Florence, Phenix City and East Florence, and the districts and authorities between them.
What Alabama Asks of a Collection System
Alabama requires sanitary sewer overflows to be reported to the state environmental agency electronically, and the agency publishes them to a public map. An overflow is not a private operating problem in Alabama. It is a matter of record, with a location on it.
Reporting is the symptom; the structure is the cause. Where an overflow traces back to a manhole or a lift station that has lost its wall, rebuilding that wall ends it. Where the cause is capacity or a blockage, lining is not the answer and we will say so.
Three Ways In
What the liner costs a city over its life, and what the warranty covers.

Go →Questions We Get in Alabama
Can lining reduce the overflows we have to report in Alabama?
It can where the structure is the cause. Overflows that trace back to a manhole or a lift station that has lost its wall stop when the wall is rebuilt and the corrosion barrier is restored. Overflows caused by capacity, blockages or a failed pipe run are a different problem and lining is not the answer to them.
Do you line lift stations and wet wells, or just manholes?
Both. Manholes are the core application, and lift stations and wet wells are lined with the same system.
Does the structure have to come out of service?
Usually for no more than a single shift. Most manholes are lined and returned to service the same day.
How is this different from an epoxy or cementitious coating?
A coating protects a surface. The Triplex Liner is a structural wall with its own corrosion barrier, cured in place inside the existing structure.
How long does it last?
The liner is designed and tested to last up to 100 years in sewer conditions. Manholes carry a twenty-year warranty, and lift stations and wet wells carry ten years.
