Aegion Corporation Receives $6.3 Million CIPP Contract From The City Of Springfield, Missouri

Aegion Corporation (“Aegion” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq Global Select Market: AEGN) announced today that its subsidiary, Insituform Technologies USA, LLC (“Insituform”), has been awarded a $6.3 million contract from the City of Springfield, Missouri for the rehabilitation of over 114,000 feet of small-, medium- and large-diameter sewer pipelines.

The City of Springfield has initiated a four-year improvement plan valued at up to $30 million to eliminate infiltration issues impacting the integrity of its sewer pipelines. This project is the first year of the planned improvements and will include sewer pipeline inspection using closed-circuit television, manhole rehabilitation and the installation of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) on laterals and pipelines. The remaining three years of the improvement plan will include yearly contracts valued at up to $8 million per year. It is expected that each of these remaining contracts will be awarded through a standard competitive bidding process.

Kenneth Foster, Vice President and General Manager of Insituform's North American Rehabilitation West Region, said, “We have been working with the City of Springfield since 1987 and are confident that our minimally disruptive products and services will continue to benefit the residents and businesses of Springfield. We look forward to continuing to work with the City on future pipeline projects as well.”

Work on this project will begin in July and is expected to take approximately eight months to complete. Insituform will utilize its proprietary Air Invert Steam Cure (AISC) method during the CIPP installation. This method reduces water and energy usage on the job site by approximately 95 percent. Insituform will perform the installations in residential and commercial areas throughout the City of Springfield.
