Insituform Technologies Wins Sewer Rehabilitation Contract for Montreal

Insituform Technologies Inc. announced this week that it has been awarded a $12.2 million contract with the city of Montreal to rehabilitate sewer pipelines. The completion of this project will help the City meet the goals of its ongoing program of infrastructure improvements.

Insituform expects to rehabilitate more than nine miles of wastewater pipelines ranging from 10 to 42 in. in diameter. A significant portion of the project includes the rehabilitation of egg-shaped pipelines. Forty years ago, Insituform performed the first installation of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) in the United Kingdom in an egg-shaped pipeline. Since then, Insituform, the developer of CIPP, has installed it in more than 19,000 miles of pipelines around the world.

“Winning this important project validates our decision to open an office in Montreal in June 2010 and positions us to meet the increased demands for both sewer and water pipeline rehabilitation in Quebec,” said Ken Foster, president of Insituform Technologies in Canada. “This latest contract award increases our ability to provide services throughout Eastern Canada as well as creates new jobs in Montreal.”

Work on this project is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
