Nu-Pipe

What Nu-Pipe does

Nu-Pipe LLC is a privately held trenchless stormwater drainage rehabilitation contractor founded in 2013 and headquartered in St Petersburg, Florida, with regional offices serving the Carolinas, Virginias, and Southeast United States. The company specializes in rehabilitating large-diameter (greater than 36-inch) stormwater and drainage infrastructure without excavation, using two core technologies: Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining and Spray-Applied Pipe Liner (SAPL) also known as spincasting. Since 2016, Nu-Pipe has installed over 750,000 linear feet of CIPP, and since 2014 has installed over 500,000 linear feet of SAPL, with all systems designed for 50+ year service lives. The company complements its lining services with CCTV inspection (capable of navigating up to 84-inch pipes), desilting and hydro excavation (including a custom 5,250 CFM jet-vac system), dewatering (15 OSHA-approved Aqua Barriers and approximately 50 pumps), and injection grouting for void filling and sinkhole prevention, positioning itself as a turnkey self-performing drainage contractor.

The company operates a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market model, securing project-based engagements and multi-year on-call contracts directly with municipalities, counties, and Department of Transportation agencies, while also serving as a specialty subcontractor to heavy civil and highway contractors on major interstate and highway projects across the eastern US. Nu-Pipe is a certified/preferred installer for leading CIPP manufacturers and holds NAASCO certification, OSHA-approved cofferdam credentials, and North Carolina State University Level II Sedimentation and Erosion Control certifications across all field personnel. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed; the company reports no instance of an on-call contract owner declining renewal, indicating high client retention in its core municipal book. Customer segments span municipal governments, state DOTs, heavy civil contractors, port authorities, and infrastructure solutions firms, with revenue derived entirely from professional services rather than product sales or licensing.
