Azuria grants first license for EPA-approved trenchless CTPS pipeline rehab
Azuria Water Solutions has awarded its first license for Close Tolerance Pipe Slurrification (CTPS) technology to Basaraba Excavating, marking a milestone in asbestos-cement (AC) pipeline renewal.
CTPS is the only trenchless replacement method approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for AC water and wastewater pipelines. The technology slurrifies, encapsulates, and removes asbestos cement pipes, offering a safer, more cost-effective, and less disruptive alternative to traditional replacement methods.
Basaraba Excavating, based in Bismarck, will deploy CTPS on projects across North Dakota and nearby states, bringing the technology’s benefits directly to regional utilities and communities.
“This partnership ensures municipalities can replace more outdated pipelines within existing budgets, while protecting workers and residents,” said Robert Moorhead, chief commercial officer of Azuria Water Solutions.
Brent Basaraba, CEO of Basaraba Excavating, added that the license will help accelerate safe and sustainable pipeline rehabilitation across the region.
