Insituform Awarded Storm Water Pipeline Project in Florida

Insituform Technologies Inc. announced that it has been awarded its first storm water pipeline rehabilitation contract from the Board of County Commissioners in Orange County, Fla. 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 that it will rehabilitate more than 70,000 ft of storm water 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.

“Insituform has been installing CIPP for forty years and is fully-prepared to successfully complete this project,” said Jeffrey J. Kowal, Insituform’s general manager for the east region. “Our experienced project management team will be focused on not only meeting the expectations of Orange County over the next three years but on increasing the visibility of CIPP in Florida as well.”

Work on the project is expected to begin this month.
