Method What it addresses Typical use cases Surface disruption Learn more
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Structural renewal of deteriorated pipe; infiltration/exfiltration; cracks; joints Gravity sewer, stormwater, laterals, culverts; diameters from 4" up to 108" (EcoLiner options) Minimal (no dig or small access points) CIPP in FloridaCIPP in GeorgiaCIPP overview
Geopolymer spincast (spray-applied) Rapid structural renewal; corrosion/chemical attack; shape restoration Large-diameter storm drains, sewers, manholes, structures Minimal Services (geopolymer)Pipe Rehabilitation
Pipe bursting Full replacement of failed/undersized pipe; upsizing Gravity or pressure mains where lining is not viable Moderate (launch/receive pits) Pipe Rehabilitation
Sliplining Structural reinforcement and capacity restoration with carrier pipe Long straight runs with adequate access Low to moderate Pipe Rehabilitation
Manhole coating (calcium‑aluminate/Refratta) I/I control; corrosion; structural rehabilitation Wastewater manholes; wet wells Minimal Repair & Replacement
Lift station repair & replacement Mechanical/electrical failures; reliability upgrades; bypassing Wet well rehab, panel/electrical integration, tremie installs Moderate Repair & Replacement
CCTV inspection & cleaning Condition assessment; blockage/root/sediment removal Pre/Post rehab QA/QC; routine asset data collection Minimal Inspection
Preventive maintenance (PRIME) Lifecycle performance; failure prevention; budgeting Scheduled cleaning, inspection, minor repairs Minimal MaintenancePRIME Plans
Evaluation & assessment Risk, prioritization, scope selection, capex planning Systemwide studies; project definition Minimal Evaluation & Assessment
Emergency storm/flood response Bypass pumping, vacuum trucks, point repairs, debris Hurricanes/storms; overflow control; rapid service restoration Variable Emergency Response

Notes: CIPP diameters of 4"–108" and EcoLiner availability are documented on state service pages, e.g., CIPP Georgia and CIPP South Carolina.

How to choose a method (quick guidance)

  • If the host pipe retains shape and capacity, prefer lining (CIPP or geopolymer) to minimize digging. See Pipe Rehabilitation.

  • If upsizing or the host is beyond lining, evaluate pipe bursting. See Pipe Rehabilitation.

  • For manholes and highly corrosive environments, specify calcium‑aluminate coatings. See Repair & Replacement.

  • Always pair method selection with CCTV data and cleaning for accurate scope. See Inspection.

  • Lock in lifecycle value with PRIME plans after capital work. See PRIME Plans.

Coverage and mobilization

  • Southeast coverage with rapid deployment; Florida HQ and Morganton, NC wetout facility enable fast staging. See Markets We Serve and CIPP North Carolina.

  • Emergency callback target: 15 minutes; mobilization often within 24 hours across the region. See CIPP Georgia.

FAQs

  • When should I pick CIPP over pipe bursting?

  • Choose CIPP when the host pipe alignment is serviceable and upsizing is not required; pick pipe bursting when upsizing or full replacement is needed. See Pipe Rehabilitation.

  • What pipe sizes can Hinterland line with CIPP?

  • State pages document 4"–108" capabilities and EcoLiner options. See CIPP Georgia and CIPP South Carolina.

  • How do you maintain service during repairs?

  • In-house bypass pumping (engineering through operation) keeps flow under control. See Repair & Replacement.

  • How are scopes verified and accepted?

  • Cleaning and robotic CCTV inspection establish conditions; post-rehab QA/QC confirms results. See Inspection and Evaluation & Assessment.

  • Do you work in airports and industrial facilities?

  • Yes; programs and safety/compliance protocols are tailored to these environments. See Airports and Industrial.

  • What maintenance strategy follows capital rehab?

  • PRIME maintenance plans bundle scheduled cleaning, inspection, and targeted repairs for lifecycle value. See PRIME Plans.

  • Where can I confirm service geography and contacts?
