What PURIS does
PURIS is a private, vertically integrated provider of trenchless water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure rehabilitation services headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas. The company operates through a family of nine specialized wholly-owned subsidiaries — Inliner Solutions, IWPC, LiquiForce, PM Construction & Rehab, Insight Pipe Contracting, Murphy Pipeline Contractors, Liner Products, PURIS Services, and Sii360 — collectively employing approximately 1,250 people across more than 20 offices in the United States and Canada. PURIS rehabilitates nearly 3,000,000 linear feet of pipe annually, targeting municipal water utilities, sewerage districts, stormwater authorities, and specialty end-markets including airports and oil & gas facilities; the addressable market is anchored by 2.2 million miles of U.S. sewage lines and 1.8 million miles of U.S. potable water infrastructure needing replacement.
The company's technology stack spans Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining in both thermal-cure and UV-cure (LED-cured fiberglass) variants, geopolymer spray-applied linings, CompressionFit HDPE lining, pre-chlorinated pipe bursting, slip lining, and Cured-in-Place Manhole (CIPMH) systems. In-house manufacturing is concentrated at Liner Products' 120,000-square-foot Indiana facility, which produces felt, composite, and UV-based liner tubes ranging from 4 to 120 inches in diameter, including NSF/ANSI 61-certified OBIC spray coatings for potable water applications. PURIS holds the CompressionFit trademark and has developed proprietary lateral rehabilitation tools (PFM and MFM) that enable mainline-only access without residential cleanouts.
PURIS earns revenue through project-based contracts procured via competitive bidding, cooperative purchasing agreements (HGACBuy, Buy Board, Allied States Cooperative, COSTARS, Purchasing Cooperative of America), and direct municipal relationships. Pricing is per-project and not publicly disclosed, with contract durations typically spanning multiple years and individual project values ranging from routine maintenance work to multi-million-dollar progressive design-build programs (e.g., a $31M Metro Water Recovery program and the 102-inch Anacostia Trunk Sewer Phase 2 with WSSC). The company pursues a platform consolidation strategy, completing the D&D Water & Sewer acquisition in April 2023 and the Creekside acquisition in February 2025, and in February 2026 took on Per Aarsleff (PAA) as a partial owner of LiquiForce to scale lateral rehabilitation in Canada.
