As neighborhoods and business districts age in municipalities across North America, so do the water and wastewater pipes and industrial pipe infrastructures that support them. With the increasing costs of replacing pipelines and the disruptions that traditional solutions cause, including downtime of productive assets for industrial customers, more clients across the country are turning to Inland Pipe Rehabilitation (IPR) for our trenchless problem-solving expertise, innovative solutions and patented technologies.
A national leader in the rehabilitation of underground pipes and structures, IPR focuses on trenchless pipe rehabilitation - repairing and upgrading underground water, sewer and other pipes without the need for costly and disruptive digging. We offer a comprehensive portfolio of underground rehabilitation services and technologies to repair and maintain critical water, wastewater and industrial pipe infrastructure using trenchless solutions that leverage "green," healthy underground technologies.
The IPR Family of Companies includes PM Construction, RePipe, ITG and Inland Waters Pollution Control. Certified in virtually every major city in the United States that has significant underground structural needs, the IPR Family represents a proud tradition of excellence and a commitment to customer service.
A leader in providing environmentally solutions, in 2009 IPR was ranked No.4 on the Crain's list of largest Environmental Companies for best practices in green technology, including our non-invasive Expanda spiral-wound lining technology, which rehabilitates existing pipes from above ground without releasing harmful chemicals into the environment. IPR's dedication to excellence was recently recognized when the company received the prestigious INC Award.
The innovative trenchless pipe rehabilitation methodologies provided by IPR are more cost-effective and less intrusive than traditional open cut pipeline repairs. Trenchless rehabilitation technologies allow for the completion of underground repair or replacement projects with minimal disruption to surface traffic, nearby homes and businesses, or environmentally sensitive areas. Industrial infrastructure repairs and maintenance require many of the same skill sets and capabilities that IPR uses in its municipal end market. Currently, IPR is working with several large industrial companies, including oil and pharmaceutical organizations. In addition, IPR has expanded its efforts into the Department of Transportation sector where our technologies and expertise are being put to work in the area of highway repair.
IPR has pioneered the introduction of numerous trenchless pipeline rehabilitation products, including pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe ("CIPP"), throughout North America. A wide range of our trenchless Solutions has been internally developed and is recognized as best-in-class patented technologies.
We offer customers a one-stop solution for the broadest variety of pipe rehabilitation options. As a result, instead of having to fit the customer's need to one solution, we provide the optimal method for each specific challenge.
