fpi wins new us $138 million contract - Future Pipe Industries

Commenting on the contract, Rami Makhzoumi, President and CEO of FPI said:
“This important contract demonstrates our ability to service some of the world’s largest
infrastructure projects. Our home market, the GCC, is the fastest growing fiberglass
pipe market in the world and it is here that FPI has proved that fiberglass can be the pipe
solution of choice for the biggest infrastructure and industrial projects.
“In the case of Ras Laffan, our fiberglass pipe systems demonstrated their ability to
perform at a superior standard to other materials, given harsh environmental conditions
in the Gulf region, the design parameters, and the highly corrosive elements of seawater
being transported. Cutting edge technological innovation and quality make FPI’s
Fiberstrong pipe systems ideally suited for a project of this caliber, the largest of its kind
in the region.”
FPI will supply Fiberstrong fiberglass pipes for the cooling water system as this type of
pipe system is highly capable of resisting the region’s high temperatures – which can
soar to 50 degrees centigrade – and the corrosive conditions from seawater. GRP pipes
are also more efficient carriers, light in weight, durable and easy to install.
The delivery of these fiberglass pipe systems in connection with Phase 2 category II ,
which are directed through Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Co, is expected to
commence this year. The project is expected to be completed by the first half of 2010.
