This is the third consecutive year that IPR has been recognized by each list. Due to an increased demand by municipalities for infrastructure stabilization and repair, IPR has seen a tremendous growth in revenue and market expansion in recent years. These demands and subsequent achievements have helped IPR gain the recognition necessary to be named on the Crain’s Detroit Business Private 200, a list of the fastest-growing privately-owned companies in metro Detroit, and the Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list that recognizes privately held firms that have demonstrated substantial growth over the past three years.

IPR was also included on the Crain’s Detroit Business list of Largest Environmental Companies for its best practices in green technology, including its non-invasive Expanda spiral-wound lining technology, which rehabilitates existing pipes from above ground and without releasing harmful chemicals into the environment.

“It is an honor for IPR to be recognized on these highly regarded lists,” said Cutillo. “We take great pride in our services, our workers and the resulting long-term positive effects associated with providing municipalities and communities with the best in rehabilitation solutions. We take satisfaction in utilizing the green technologies that contribute to both improving our site efficiencies and supporting healthier communities.”

DETROIT, November 20, 2009 – Detroit-headquartered Inland Waters Pollution Control (Inland), a leading national provider of underground rehabilitation solutions with offices throughout the U.S., will host a community appreciation event timed to Thanksgiving that will offer a job fair, free health screenings and giveaways of 500 turkeys on Tuesday, November 24th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Inland President Al Jedneak made the announcement.

The event will be held at Inland’s headquarters located at 4086 Michigan Avenue at Clark Street in Detroit and is open to Detroit residents ages 18 and older.  Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with several Detroit-based companies involved in the infrastructure arena that will be hiring approximately 30 Detroit residents as employees in the months to come.  Including Inland, these companies will be looking for qualified individuals to fill positions such as contractors, truck drivers, project managers, engineers, laborers and equipment operators.  Potential employees should be prepared for brief introductory interviews at the job fair.

Quality Home Health Care Services of Michigan has also graciously volunteered their staff and services to offer free health care screenings to potential candidates and seniors at the Inland event.  The free screenings will include blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol checks.  The onsite medical personnel will also be available to offer after-care treatment advice.

The Inland Waters Pollution Control team will also be donating 500 turkeys for Thanksgiving to attendees in honor of the holiday.

“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to give back to our community here in Detroit,” said Jedneak. “To collaborate with other companies here in Detroit to offer job opportunities to the city’s residents, and offer assistance with health and food for the holidays in the process, is just one way of us to share our thanks at this time.”

The acquisition is a result of Inland Pipe Rehabilitation’s dedication to providing the most comprehensive portfolio of underground rehabilitation solutions throughout the United States. The addition of ITG to the IPR family of companies will strengthen the company’s southeastern regional presence, while also supplementing IPR’s rapidly evolving roster of underground rehabilitation solutions. IPR is the country’s leading provider of pipe bursting and environmentally friendly rehabilitation services. The company also specializes in executing Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP), a trenchless rehabilitation method that enables underground construction to occur without any disruption to communities.

ITG, with the addition of its owned and operated wet-out facility, enables IPR to continue to expand its capabilities and coverage to even more clients, especially in the southeast region of the country. The addition of ITG, combined with IPR’s existing Underground Technologies business in Knoxville, Tenn., Inland Waters Pollution Control in Atlanta, Ga. and PMConstruction business in Jacksonville, Fla., allows IPR to offer more underground technologies and coverage areas than any other company in the Southeast.

“We are thrilled at the enormous potential this acquisition affords IPR and welcome ITG’s well respected and experienced Sam Elmore as he continues to manage day-to-day operations in Knoxville,” said Cutillo. “As the demand increases for trenchless rehabilitation solutions, together, IPR and ITG will continue to develop the best solutions for our clients.”

IPR has experienced tremendous success nationwide and has expanded its solution offerings and locations dramatically since 2006 through the acquisitions of Ontario, Calif.-based RePipe and Houston, Texas-based PM Construction, both of which now operate as affiliates of IPR. The unprecedented growth of the company has led to new offices in Georgia, Texas, California and now Tennessee in the past three years.
