Aegion Receives $12.9 Million Pipe Rehabilitation Contract in Hong Kong

Aegion Corp. announced that its subsidiary, Fyfe Hong Kong Ltd., has received a three-year contract valued at $12.9 million for the rehabilitation of potable steel water pipelines, ranging from 47-in. to 94-in. 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. Fibrwrap is a highly engineered approach that utilizes advanced technology for rehabilitating pipelines. Fyfe has been installing its Tyfo Fibrwrap system in Hong Kong for more than seven years.

Sim Moh Wee, senior vice president and general manager of Fyfe Asia, said, “This project has been awarded to Fyfe Hong Kong after a strenuous selection process. Many options for rehabilitation were considered and the Tyfo Fibrwrap system was selected due to system reliability and its flexible installation processes. We are pleased to continue to work with the Hong Kong Water Supplies Department and look forward to increasing opportunities in the future to demonstrate Fyfe’s advanced design capabilities and the structural superiority of the Tyfo Fibrwrap technology."

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.
