Rehabilitation
Insituform awarded two contracts
Insituform Technologies recently announced that it has been awarded its first stormwater pipeline rehabilitation contract from the Board of County Commissioners, Orange County, FL.
The contract’s first year value is approximately $3.2 million and may be extended for two additional years for up to $9.5 million over the three-year period.
Insituform anticipates it will rehabilitate over 70,000 feet of stormwater pipelines using its Insituform cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) and iPlus Composite products. Many of the rehabilitated pipelines are located around the downtown Orlando and Orlando Convention Center areas. Disruption to traffic and pedestrians, including the significant number of tourists who visit Orlando each year, is expected to be minimal. Work on the project was expected to begin in April.
Insituform also has been awarded a $12.2 million contract with the City of Montreal, Quebec, Canada to rehabilitate sewer pipelines.
Insituform expects to rehabilitate over nine miles of wastewater pipelines ranging from 10 inches to 42 inches in diameter. A significant portion of the project includes the rehabilitation of egg-shaped pipelines. Work on this project is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
