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 California
California municipalities and consulting engineers specify structural lining for manholes, lift stations and wet wells across the state. If your district is planning rehabilitation work, we can walk a project from evaluation to specification to installed liner.
Triplex Liners in California
There are Triplex Liners in the ground in California, since 1994. Every one of them 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.
Cities in California With Triplex Liners in the Ground
Spring Valley, Encinitas, Carson, La County, Marina Del Rey, Simi Valley, S. Lake Tahoe, Rodeo, Camarillo, Oxnard, Culver City, Lake Hughes, Pinole, Inglewood and Lake Elsinore.
Where We Take Projects in California
We take projects across the state. Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield and Anaheim, and the districts and authorities between them.
What California Asks of a Collection System
Every public agency in California running more than a mile of sewer is enrolled under the statewide general order for sanitary sewer systems and must develop, implement and keep current a Sewer System Management Plan. Spills of a thousand gallons or more are reported to state emergency services within two hours and the data is public.
Programs like that turn rehabilitation from an emergency into a schedule, and a schedule is where permanent repairs pay. Every structure that is genuinely rebuilt is one that does not come back into the next assessment wearing the same problem.

Go →Questions We Get in California
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?
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.
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.
Is the system available internationally?
Yes. It is installed in the United States, Canada and Australia, and we welcome international work.
