Insituform Technologies’ UPS-Aptec joint venture has been awarded a US$67.3m (£42.2m) project to install 216km of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner in pipelines in Morocco.

UPS-Aptec Limited will be responsible for installing the HDPE liner in new pipelines for the Office Cherifien des Phosphates (OCP) Slurry Pipeline project. The OCP slurry pipeline would be lined with HDPE pipeline for providing corrosion protection and abrasion resistance to recently installed pipes for transporting phosphates.

UPS-Aptec Limited is been appointed as a subcontractor to the Turkish general contractor Tekfen Construction and Installation.

This project is scheduled to start in the Q4 of 2011, which is expected to conclude by the end of 2012.

J Joseph Burgess, Insituform president and chief executive officer said, “We are proud to have secured this project, which is the largest single project in United Pipeline Systems’ history.”

Dorwin Hawn, Insituform senior vice president, energy and mining said, “This historic contract award recognises United Pipeline Systems’ ability to manage and execute complex and challenging projects in difficult work environments. This project award also highlights the growing acceptance and endorsement of Insituform’s Energy & Mining group’s product and service offering throughout the Middle East and North Africa, further validating the decision to focus our business development efforts in these important geographic regions.”
