Infrastructure Rehabilitation USA
The #1 permanent sustainable solution on the market today.
EPA studies have shown that at least 50-60% of all water that is treated at the treatment plants is coming through leaks by I & I. EPA studies have also proven that if you only fix the lateral lines, you only reduce your I & I issues by 15-20%.
No alternative compares to The CIP Liner and its backed by a rock solid 20 year manufacturer’s warranty.
More On The CIP Liner
Our CIPM (cured-in-place manhole) liner is constructed with 2 layers of structural fiberglass with an impermeable inner membrane sandwiched between them, coated with epoxy resin inside and outside the liner.
The inner membrane is what allows the CIP Liners to be impervious to H2S sewer gas in the wastewater systems.
There is no other product on the market that offers this protection, which is backed by a 20-year, non-prorated manufacturer’s warranty (and more than 20 years of proven performance). We effectively own the structure for 20 years.
Nothing Else Can Compare
With more than 20 years of proven performance, no other product can offer this type of protection.
No More Dig & Replace
Our product provides the best value, especially compared to a dig and replace option, which can be 5-10x more expensive.

Trenchless Technology
LIFT STATION REHABILITATION
Infrastructure Rehabilitation USA, Inc. provides trenchless rehabilitation solutions for vertical wastewater infrastruture. Utilizing the CIP Lining system, municipalities and industrial clients can restore and protect not just manholes, but many other types of critical vertical wastewater infrastructure without costly and lengthy excavation or replacement projects.
From routine rehabilitation projects to complex structural restorations, the CIP Liner system provides a trenchless solution for protecting critical wastewater infrastructure. Engineered to create a continuous, corrosion-impervious barrier, the system helps municipalities restore deteriorated assets, extend service life by 100 years, and avoid the disruption and expense associated with traditional replacement methods.
Infrastructure Rehabilitation USA installs cured-in-place (CIP) liners to rehabilitate vertical wastewater structures including:
- Sewer Manholes
- Lift Stations
- Wet Wells
- Vaults & Clarifiers
- Catch Basins
- Digesters
What Infrastructure Rehabilitation Does
Infrastructure Rehabilitation USA installs cured-in-place (CIP) liners to rehabilitate vertical wastewater structures including sewer manholes, lift stations, wet wells, vaults, clarifiers, catch basins and digesters. Our client base includes municipalities, engineering firms, municipal utility districts and private industrial companies.
The projects begin by identifying the client’s short and long-term rehabilitation objectives and together devising a project plan designed to achieve their goals. Next, the identified structures are measured and evaluated by our NASSCO trained certified project consultants. Upon completion of the project, Infrastructure Rehab provides the client with a comprehensive report of detailed information, with before and after pictures of the site, the structures and the curing log (with GPS locations) pertaining to each rehabilitated structure, which may be used for applicable meetings to illustrate the benefits of value engineering.

Save On Treatment Costs
A large amount of rainwater finds its way into large manhole and lift stations structures that leak.
By fixing your manholes and lift stations you can eliminate 70-80% of your I & I leakage with only 15-20% of your rehabilitation budget and you will reduce treatment costs significantly.
The studies also show that a 1/2 inch hole in a manhole costs on average between $15,000 to $20,000 in extra treatment costs per year.
Installing The CIP Liner in these structures pays for itself within 12-18 months by permanently eliminating all I & I issues and future deterioration caused by H2S gas. This added value does not exist anywhere else in the marketplace.
The CIP Liner Versus Fiberglass Inserts
Points of comparison between The CIP Liner and fiberglass inserts for use in manhole and sewage pump station rehabilitation:
- The Fiberglass inserts reduce the annular space on a 48″ manhole to about 42″. The CIP Liner conforms to the host structure and bonds to it, adding less than ¼” of thickness.
- The manhole must be removed by digging up and later replacing or repositioning the cone for fiberglass inserts. The process is likely to take 2 or 3 days. The CIP Liner completely cures in place with no digging and takes about one-half of a day per manhole.
- With fiberglass inserts, it is very difficult to seal at the floor and around the inlet/outlet pipes as well as incoming laterals on the wall. Cured CIP Liners are monolithic, with no chance of leaking anywhere once the liner is in place, including the edges of the liners.
- For fiberglass inserts, the soil must be compacted and paved, which is a disruption of traffic flow if the manhole is in the street. This is not an issue with The CIP Liner.
- Fiberglass inserts cost more and are more labor intensive than the installation of The CIP Liner.
More On The CIP Liner VS Fiberglass Inserts
- The fiberglass insert must be molded somewhere. With The CIP Liner, we use the existing structure as a mold so there is always a perfect custom fit.
- With fiberglass inserts there is no bond to the host structure. The CIP Liner is monolithic with the host structure and permanently bonds to it.
- With the use of fiberglass inserts, the contractor must use a slurry mix to backfill behind the insert, to fill the annular space. This slurry mix cures to less than half the strength of the precast concrete of the rest of the manhole wall. (With a 28-day cure, precast concrete has a strength of about 4,000 psi. The slurry mix will cure to only about (1,500-2,000 psi.) The CIP Liner requires no additional product to complete the liner and the pressurized, cleaned host structure is left in place with the new liner cured to it.
- The CIP Liner lines the manhole completely from the manhole lid seat down to the edge of the invert channel. The invert channel can also be lined and would require the flow to be by-passed during installation. The CIP Liner installation process results in no loss of annular space. This is not the case with fiberglass inserts.
