Insituform® constructs and rehabilitates water, sewer and other difficult-to-access pipes throughout the world using technologies that minimize digging and disruption. Our world headquarters are in Chesterfield, Missouri.
Ongoing research and development over the past 30 years have resulted in countless improvements to the Insituform® cured-in-place process (CIPP), further enhancing its durability and expanding its range of application. To date, it has been used to reconstruct more than 8,500 miles of underground pipe throughout the world. Independent testing and analysis - including recent tests of our very first installation in London in 1971 - have proven it to be a durable, long-term solution to the problems of deteriorating sewers.
As acceptance of our Insituform® CIPP technology grew around the world, our company looked for new ways to solve pipe problems with minimal disruption. In the 1980s, we expanded our business to include a successful tunneling operation and a proprietary process for protecting the steel pipelines used in the oil, gas and mining industries from corrosion. In 2001, we added pipebursting, microtunneling and sliplining to our menu of trenchless capabilities with our acquisition of Kinsel Industries, Inc. In 2002, we acquired Elmore Pipe Jacking, Inc, further bolstering our capabilities with the addition of glass-reinforced panel technology and other trenchless technologies.
With 2,100 employees and annual revenues of more than $450 million, Insituform® is today the world`s largest trenchless technology company. Our company`s stock is publicly traded on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol INSU.
Insituform®`s products have been used at industrial facilities around the world to solve problems associated with difficult-to-access pipes.
Stop Leaks. Corrosion or faulty joints can cause lines to leak. Insituform® has technologies which rehabilitate pressure pipes, stop leaks, prevent internal corrosion and extend the useful life of the pipe. Our methods can be applied to water, process and gas lines in a wide range of diameters, pressures and temperatures.
Provide Containment. To prevent contamination of soil, groundwater or surface water, Insituform® has jointless, seamless and corrosion-resistant solutions for effluent lines. We seal mains, branch connections and branch lines, in a variety of diameters and configurations.
Restore Structural Integrity. Underground wastewater and storm sewers deteriorate over time. Cracks and failed joints can cause pipes to buckle or collapse. These conditions also lead to leakage or infiltration. Insituform® has solutions which restore the long-term structural integrity of deteriorated underground sewer pipes.
Our rehabilitation processes involve the installation of a woven or non-woven lining material into a leaking or structurally damaged pipe.
