Azuria Water Solutions Buys Nor-Cal Pipeline's CIPP Division
Azuria Water Solutions has completed the acquisition of the cured-in-place pipe division from Nor-Cal Pipeline Services, expanding its rehabilitation capabilities.

Think of it as slipping a new liner inside an old pipe. It's a big deal in water infrastructure, and Azuria Water Solutions just made a move to do more of it.
Azuria Water Solutions has officially acquired the CIPP division of Nor-Cal Pipeline Services, bolstering its portfolio of pipeline rehabilitation services. The deal adds Nor-Cal's established CIPP capabilities to Azuria's existing lineup, potentially strengthening the company's footprint in water and wastewater infrastructure markets across the region.
