Introduction

Industrial facilities depend on reliable infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted operations, maintain regulatory compliance, and safeguard the environment. Hinterland Group delivers specialized pipeline, lift station, and infrastructure solutions to industrial clients across the southeastern United States, ensuring process continuity and full compliance with environmental permitting and regulatory frameworks.

Challenges for Industrial Clients

Process Continuity: Any disruption to water, wastewater, or stormwater systems can trigger costly downtime, production losses, and safety incidents.
Regulatory Compliance: Industrial operations are subject to stringent local, state, and federal regulations governing environmental discharge, wastewater management, and system reliability.
Environmental Permitting: Maintaining required permits requires proactive infrastructure maintenance, thorough documentation, and responsive emergency repairs.
Aging Infrastructure: Many plants operate with older assets susceptible to failures, infiltration, and non-compliance if not actively maintained and rehabilitated.

Hinterland Group: Industrial Infrastructure Solutions

Hinterland Group offers comprehensive solutions to address these pain points, specializing in advanced trenchless technologies and 24/7 emergency support to protect industrial operations.

Service Details & Technologies

Pipeline Rehabilitation

Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP): Seamless liner installed within existing pipes, extends life >50 years, eliminates infiltration/exfiltration, minimal downtime
Geopolymer Lining (SIPP): Rapid-cure structural lining for large-diameter process and stormwater pipes
Pipe Bursting and Sliplining: Replacement or reinforcement for critical process mains unable to be lined by CIPP
Manhole and Structure Coating: Protects against chemical attack and infiltration at access points, vital for permitted discharges

See: Pipe Rehabilitation

Lift Station Services

Mechanical Upgrades & Repairs: Pump, control, valve, and piping renewal
Electrical Integration: New panel installation, automation, integration with SCADA and industrial controls
Bypass Pumping: Ensures no loss of wastewater conveyance during repairs

See: Repair and Replacement

Maintenance and Inspection

CCTV Pipeline Inspection: Advanced robotics precisely document asset condition
Scheduled Cleaning Programs: Maintains flow, prevents blockages and overflows
Assessment & Evaluation: Asset condition reporting for capital planning and compliance

See: Inspection | Maintenance
