Insituform Technologies Inc. has been awarded an additional $7.7-million sewer contract from the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) in Hartford, Conn., for the rehabilitation of more than 200,000 ln ft t of 6- to 30-in. sewer lines using Insituform cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). This award is in addition to the $10.3-million contract MDC signed with Insituform last November.
Workers will install Insituform CIPP using the air-inversion steam cure (AISC) method, which uses air to invert the CIPP tube and then steam to cure the resin. Using the AISC method can reduce the amount of water used during installation by nearly 95 percent. The project is expected to begin in June 2009 and be completed by December 2010.
“We are pleased to continue our relationship with MDC with this additional project. Our experienced crews and management team are dedicated to exceeding MDC’s expectations on every project,” said Jim Newkirk, general manager for Insituform’s East Region.
