PAA takes stake in LiquiForce to expand lateral lining across Canada
(UI) — PURIS announced that Per Aarsleff (PAA) has entered into a strategic partnership with LiquiForce aimed at expanding lateral sewer rehabilitation services across Canada.
Under the agreement, PAA will become a part owner in a newly structured LiquiForce partnership. The move is designed to combine LiquiForce’s established Canadian operations with PAA’s engineering and equipment capabilities, particularly in advanced lining technologies.
The partnership will focus on strengthening lateral rehabilitation services for municipalities and utilities, with an expanded emphasis on LED and UV-cured technologies alongside traditional cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) methods.
"LiquiForce has deep relationships throughout Canada and a legacy of delivering quality service to its customers," said Mick Fegan, CEO of PURIS. "By pairing PAA's technical insights and equipment advancements with the strength of the LiquiForce team, we are enhancing our ability to deliver superior lateral products and solutions to both existing and future customers across Canada. This partnership further reflects our commitment to innovation and to providing the optimal rehabilitation solution for every unique application."
Peter Lystbaek of PAA added, "This partnership represents a significant opportunity to bring together highly complementary strengths. Our engineering expertise and understanding of complex renewal projects, combined with LiquiForce's proven Canadian operations, will help accelerate the deployment of advanced UV-cured technologies and give customers greater confidence in the durability, reliability, and performance of their infrastructure investments."
LiquiForce has operated in the Canadian trenchless rehabilitation market for years, and the partnership signals continued investment in lateral lining technologies as utilities look to address aging sewer infrastructure with minimally disruptive solutions.
PURIS said the collaboration aligns with its broader strategy to expand trenchless rehabilitation services and technical capabilities in North America.
