What INLAND WATERS INC does
Insituform, operating under Azuria Corporation, is a pipeline rehabilitation company that invented Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) technology in 1971. The company specializes in trenchless pipeline rehabilitation for water and wastewater infrastructure, serving municipal water and wastewater utilities as the primary segment, with additional reach into industrial facilities, transportation corridors (DOT), military installations (Department of Defense), aviation infrastructure, and fire protection. With over 50 years of operational history, Insituform has positioned itself as the gold standard for pipeline renewal, offering trenchless solutions that are described as up to 50% more efficient than traditional dig-and-replace methods. The North American operations are ISO 9001:2015 registered by Intertek across design, development, manufacturing, and installation of pipeline rehabilitation products.
The company's technology portfolio includes CIPP (gravity and pressure applications), UV CIPP (ultraviolet light curing), Spray-in-Place Pipe (SIPP), Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) structural reinforcement, Vylon Slipliner Pipe, Fusible PVC, Primus Line flexible liner, mechanical service connection reinstatement, and Close Tolerance Pipe Slurrification (CTPS). These technologies address aging pipeline infrastructure, infiltration, reduced flow capacity, and water quality concerns across applications ranging from gravity sewers to high-pressure transmission mains, small to large diameter pipes. The product breadth covers both materials supply (one-time product sales) and full installation services delivered through qualified field teams.
Insituform operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary brand within Azuria Corporation, a privately held portfolio of 15 water infrastructure brands covering pipeline rehabilitation (Insituform, Waterline Renewal Technologies, Underground Solutions, Performance Pipeline Technologies), cathodic protection (Corrpro), utility operations and intelligence (Inframark), environmental and infrastructure services (Environmental Techniques, EN-TECH Infrastructure, BLD Services, C&L Water Solutions, Culy Inc., MTC, Portland Utilities Construction Company), and international operations (Insituform Linings UK). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services, proprietary product sales, and cooperative purchasing arrangements with public sector buyers. The company serves customers across more than 20 countries on five continents via enterprise field sales with project inquiry-based engagement. Note: input data contains a firmographic entry for "INLAND WATERS INC" listing 6 employees and a 1998 founding date in Johnston, Rhode Island; this entry is inconsistent with the bulk of source material which describes a 50+ year-old global pipeline rehabilitation enterprise operating under Azuria Corporation.
