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.
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.
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
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 South Carolina
We work with South Carolina municipalities, utility districts and consulting engineers on manhole, lift station and wet well rehabilitation. If rehabilitation is in your capital plan, we can help scope and specify it.
Triplex Liners in South Carolina
There is Triplex Liner work in South Carolina, in Orangeburg, in 1991. Every liner was made at our plant in Northwest Florida, built to the measurements of the structure it was going into, and cured in place inside it.

Where We Take Projects in South Carolina
We take projects across the state. Columbia, Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Rock Hill, Greenville, Summerville, Sumter, Goose Creek and Hilton Head Island, and the districts and authorities between them.
What South Carolina Asks of a Sewer
South Carolina sets both the leakage limit and the geometry. Gravity sewers are designed to leak no more than 200 gallons per inch of pipe diameter per mile per day in either direction, and new manholes carry a minimum inside diameter of forty eight inches, or sixty with an inside drop.
That is a structural question, not a surface one. A structure that has lost its wall to corrosion does not start holding again because something was sprayed on the inside of it. The Triplex Liner puts a new structural wall and a continuous corrosion barrier inside the existing structure, which is what a watertightness standard is asking for in the first place.

Go →Questions We Get in South Carolina
How long is the structure down?
A typical manhole is lined in four to six hours and returned to service the same day. Larger structures take longer.
We have used coatings before. What changes?
A coating depends on the wall underneath it. The Triplex Liner is a new structural wall, cured in place inside the old one, with the corrosion barrier built into it.
Is this only for manholes?
No. Manholes are the core application, and the same system lines lift stations, wet wells, pump stations and culverts.
What is the service life?
Up to 100 years in sewer conditions, designed and tested. The warranty is twenty years on manholes and ten years on lift stations and wet wells.
Can it go in where the structure is still leaking?
In many cases, yes. A standard installation handles active leaks roughly ten to fifteen feet down, and about twenty feet of head pressure is the practical limit of the traditional method. Severe infiltration, or a structure that has begun to collapse, calls for other measures first. The real limit depends on ground conditions, the water table and the depth of the structure.
