America's Sewer Structures Are Falling Apart
Every city runs on structures nobody sees: manholes, lift stations, wet wells. Sewer gas eats the concrete, and years of corrosion end in infiltration and lost structural integrity. 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 is 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.
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.
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.
Built for the Toughest Jobs
Eighty-three feet down, 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 North Dakota
North Dakota owners and engineers of record use structural lining where a coating will not hold. If you are planning rehabilitation work, we can take a project from evaluation to specification to an installed liner.

Go →Questions We Get in North Dakota
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.
Can it go in where the structure is still leaking?
Yes. The system is designed to be installed against active groundwater, so the infiltration does not have to be stopped first.
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. Standard manholes carry a twenty-year non-prorated materials warranty, and wet wells, pump stations and culverts carry five years.
Is the system available internationally?
Yes. It is installed in the United States, Canada and Australia, and we welcome international work.
