In more company news, Aegion’s subsidiary, Fyfe Hong Kong Limited, has received a three-year contract valued at $12.9 million for the rehabilitation of potable steel water pipelines, ranging from 47-inches to 94-inches in diameter, located in the New Territories of Hong Kong for the Government of Hong Kong Water Supplies Department.
Fyfe Hong Kong will install its patented Tyfo Fibrwrap system, a fiber reinforced polymer material that repairs, strengthens and retrofits large-diameter pipelines. Fyfe has been installing its Tyfo Fibrwrap system in Hong Kong for over seven years and is the leading provider of fiber reinforced polymer systems in Hong Kong.
This project, which will structurally rehabilitate 40-year old water mains that currently transport the majority of water from China into Hong Kong, is expected to begin during the third quarter of 2012 and be completed in 2015.
