Insituform Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: INSU) announced today that it has been awarded a $5.8 million (US) contract extension from the City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In 2010, the City awarded Insituform the first year of this renewable term contract and will have the option to renew this contract for one more year in 2012.
“Insituform has been installing cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) in Calgary since the mid-1980s and we are pleased to continue to provide high quality pipeline rehabilitation solutions. Our crews remain committed to providing this community with renewed pipelines with minimal disruption,” said Ken Foster, President, Insituform Technologies Limited, Canada.
Over the next 12 months, Insituform expects to complete approximately 90,000 feet of CIPP rehabilitation on wastewater pipelines ranging from 8 inches to 48 inches in diameter. It is expected that Insituform’s proprietary air inversion steam cure installation method will be used throughout the project. This installation method reduces energy and water usage by approximately 95 percent.
