Doug Chick, a trenchless industry pioneer and a founder of Insituform Technologies passed away at age 87 on May 5.
One of Insituform’s original investors and founders, Chick’s contributions in the early 1970s included invaluable technical support as well as financial backing of Insituform. He held senior leadership positions and served on the
board of directors at Insituform from 1990 until 1997.
Chick served in the United States Navy during World War II. After his honorable discharge from the military, he worked in Liberia where he started a shipping company that eventually had five tankers and several fishing boats. He relocated to Nigeria to help expand his company and then settled in the United Kingdom in 1961. Chick actively worked on Insituform’s landmark project in Clearwater, FL, which required the use of a new epoxy resin and the installation of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) underneath the Clearwater Bay.
