Turnkey trenchless cleaning + CCTV inspection + rehabilitation (self‑perform)
Introduction
Hinterland Group provides Turnkey trenchless cleaning + CCTV inspection + rehabilitation (self‑perform) across the southeastern United States. Since 2006, our in‑house crews, equipment, and wetout facilities deliver a single‑contract workflow that starts with pipeline cleaning, proceeds through certified CCTV inspection and defect coding, and culminates in trenchless rehabilitation—without subcontractors. We serve municipalities, utilities, and private owners from our Riviera Beach, FL headquarters and a secondary wetout facility in Morganton, NC, offering 24/7 emergency response and rapid mobilization with guaranteed callback. See our PRIME program on the Services and Maintenance Plans pages, our CCTV program on Inspection, and our trenchless methods on Pipe Rehabilitation.
What “turnkey” includes
-
Self‑performed cleaning using vactor and jetting units to remove roots, debris, grease, and sediments; pre‑lining prep and post‑clean verification. See Maintenance.
-
Robotic CCTV inspection and condition assessment by certified operators; deliverables include digital video and structured defect coding per client requirements. See Inspection.
-
NASSCO‑style defect coding and reporting (PACP/MACP/LACP) when specified by the contract, enabling objective prioritization and scope definition.
-
Trenchless rehabilitation options, self‑performed and selected per asset condition: CIPP (4–108 in. capability), spray‑applied geopolymer lining (SAPL/SIPP), pipe bursting, and sliplining. See Pipe Rehabilitation and regional CIPP pages for capabilities (CIPP Florida, CIPP Georgia).
-
In‑house bypass pumping design, setup, monitoring, and operations for flow control around work zones. See Repair & Replacement (bypass).
-
Documentation, QA/QC, punch‑list resolution, and post‑construction verification video.
PRIME: programmatic workflow and scope bundling
- Cleaning → PACP/MACP/LACP coding → CIPP/SAPL/bursting/sliplining → QA/QC → deliverables.
| PRIME phase | Purpose | In‑house activities | Typical outputs | Method links |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P — Pipeline Rehabilitation | Structural renewal and I/I reduction | CIPP (4–108 in.), SAPL/SIPP geopolymer spincast, pipe bursting, sliplining, point repairs, manhole rehab | Lined host pipe, reinstated laterals, corrosion‑resistant surfaces | Pipe Rehabilitation |
| R — Repair & Replacement | Non‑lining fixes, lift stations, appurtenances | Lift station rehab/installs, panel/electrical, valves, services; full in‑house bypass | As‑built repairs, start‑up/commissioning docs | Repair & Replacement |
| I — Inspection | Condition discovery and verification | Robotic CCTV, zoom, cleaning verification, manhole inspections | Video, logs, defect lists; PACP/MACP/LACP when specified | Inspection |
| M — Maintenance | Prevent failures; sustain performance | Scheduled cleaning, root control, minor repairs | Maintenance logs, inspection schedules | Maintenance |
| E — Evaluation & Assessment | Prioritize and plan capital/OM | Risk/criticality review, rehab selection matrices | Recommendations, budgets, phasing | Evaluation & Assessment |
Trenchless methods we self‑perform
-
CIPP lining: Full structural renewal with minimal surface disruption; diameters from 4 to 108 inches supported by regional crews and a dedicated wetout facility for rapid turns. See CIPP Florida and CIPP Georgia.
-
SAPL/SIPP geopolymer lining: Spray‑applied structural and corrosion‑resistant renewal for sanitary, stormwater, manholes, and culverts; ideal where access and geometry vary. See Pipe Rehabilitation.
-
Pipe bursting: Trenchless replacement with option to upsize undersized mains while minimizing surface impacts. See Pipe Rehabilitation.
-
Sliplining: Insert‑and‑grout strategy to restore hydraulics and structure, especially for large‑diameter storm drains and culverts. See Pipe Rehabilitation.
Emergency bypass and storm response
-
End‑to‑end bypass: engineering, pump sizing, setups, monitoring, and demob handled by in‑house crews to keep systems in service. See Repair & Replacement (bypass).
-
24/7 storm and flood response: vacuum trucks, temporary pumping, point repairs, emergency coatings, debris removal, and zero‑dig CIPP where feasible. See Emergency Response.
Coverage, capacity, and safety
-
Geographic footprint: Florida HQ with service across FL, GA, AL, LA, TX, TN, SC, and NC; secondary wetout facility in Morganton, NC for rapid deployments. See About.
-
Self‑perform commitment: All trenchless technologies executed by Hinterland crews for single‑source accountability and quality control. See Pipe Rehabilitation.
-
Electrical integration: Dedicated in‑house electrical division for panels, controls, and lift stations. See Repair & Replacement.
-
Safety culture: Full‑time OSHA‑certified safety leadership and a consistently low EMR; daily training and job hazard analysis. See About.
When to choose each method
-
CIPP: Host pipe structurally compromised with infiltration/exfiltration; service and lateral reinstatement required; minimal surface disturbance preferred.
-
SAPL/SIPP: Irregular shapes, manholes, large boxes/culverts, or aggressive corrosion where monolithic corrosion‑resistant surfaces are beneficial.
-
Pipe bursting: Severe defects or undersized pipelines where upsizing is advantageous and service continuity via bypass is feasible.
-
Sliplining: Large‑diameter gravity lines and culverts with accessible insertion pits and adequate hydraulic capacity post‑rehab.
Representative projects
-
City of West Palm Beach: 31–35th Street Water Main and Drainage Improvements—full utility and roadway enhancements with minimal community disruption. See Project.
-
Nottingham Blvd/Miller Ave (West Palm Beach): Water, sewer, and drainage improvements including CIPP and asset replacements. See Project.
-
Fort Pierce Utilities Authority: On‑call installations and repairs for water/wastewater with traffic control, restoration, and appurtenances. See Project.
-
Additional municipal, industrial, and stormwater case histories. See Case Studies.
FAQs for specifiers
-
Do you code inspections to PACP/MACP/LACP? Yes—when specified in the contract documents we deliver coding with videos and logs.
-
What sizes do you line? CIPP from 4 to 108 inches; SAPL/SIPP and sliplining options for larger geometries per design.
-
Do you self‑perform bypass? Yes—design through operations, including emergency setups.
-
How fast can you mobilize? 24/7 coverage with guaranteed callbacks and rapid deployment throughout our service region.
