What LiquiForce does
LiquiForce is a Canadian trenchless pipeline rehabilitation company founded in 1987 and operating as a subsidiary of PURIS Corp. The firm specializes in no-dig pipeline renewal technologies, with a service portfolio that includes Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, UV-cured CIPP, LED-light curing systems, geopolymer applications, manhole renewal, and bypass pumping. Its technical differentiator is the breadth of curing methods available — enabling it to match installation technique to pipe diameter, host-pipe condition, and cure-time requirements across a wide range of rehabilitation projects. Geographically, LiquiForce maintains a national office footprint across Canada, positioning it to serve distributed municipal, utility, airport, and industrial clients.
The company operates a project-based revenue model, contracting directly with municipal governments (e.g., City of Niagara Falls, City of Calgary, Grand River Conservation Authority), utilities, and industrial asset owners (notably Ontario Power Generation). Contracts are awarded through competitive tender processes tied to public-sector capital expenditure cycles, which produces revenue lumpiness rather than recurring subscription revenue. In 2025, Denmark-based Per Aarsleff Holding A/S acquired a 49.5% stake for approximately DKK 90 million, and in 2026 the two firms formalized a strategic partnership giving LiquiForce access to European-developed lateral rehabilitation and LED/UV-cured technologies for the Canadian market. This positions LiquiForce as Per Aarsleff's North American channel for advanced trenchless methods while retaining its domestic operational autonomy.
