Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What types of lift station problems can be addressed?

  • Failing pumps, outdated control panels, seal and pipe failures, flooding and flooding-related electrical damage, access issues, infiltration from groundwater, and high force main pressures.

What is unique about your manhole rehabilitation?

  • Hinterland employs spray-applied geopolymer and interface coatings for structural renewal, chemical resistance, and leak elimination—all completed without excavation where possible. Details

How are electrical risks managed?

  • All electrical work is performed by qualified in-house teams, adhering to current codes and integrating equipment like generators, panels, alarms, sensors, and automated reporting.

Do emergency services cover both mechanical and electrical faults?

  • Yes. Hinterland’s emergency response addresses lift station mechanical, electrical, and structural issues—restoring function and preventing overflows, often with certified generator and control panel services onsite.

How does your approach minimize disruptions?

  • Trenchless methods (CIPP, geopolymer) limit surface disturbance, keeping roads, sidewalks, and businesses open. In-house bypass pumping maintains flow during repairs.

Do you support maintenance planning?

  • Annual and customized PRIME maintenance plans are available to extend asset life and forecast capital needs. Maintenance Plans
