Rehabilitation
Aegion Awarded Contract From City Of Montreal
Aegion Corporation announced its subsidiary, Insituform Technologies Limited, was awarded a $13.4 million contract from the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada to rehabilitate pipelines up to 130 years old, and located mostly in residential areas in boroughs throughout the city.
Insituform Canada will rehabilitate approximately 11 miles of egg-shaped brick pipelines and 10-inch to 42-inch diameter combined sewer system pipelines using its air inversion steam cure installation method, which reduces energy usage during installation by approximately 95 percent. In addition, Insituform Canada will internally reinstate approximately 3,400 service laterals using robotic cutters. In order to meet the demands of this project, Insituform expects to add up to three new positions at its Montreal wet out plant.
Work on the project is expected to begin immediately and be completed by May 2015.
