Dubai: Dubai-based Future Pipe Industries Group (FPI) has won a major contract to supply Fibrestrong fibreglass pipes and fittings for the Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC).

The total value of FPI's contract exceeds Dh276.5 million.

During the first phase of the contract, FPI will supply around 40 kilometres of Fibrestrong fibreglass pipes with diameters ranging from 400mm to 1600mm for the Al Sa'ad Waste Water Treatment Plant.

FPI will begin delivery of these pipes and fittings this month and plans to complete it by the end of June 2009.

For the second phase of the contract, FPI will deliver a total of 135 kilometres of Fibrestrong pipes, with diameters up to 2600mm for the Al Wathba Waste Water Treatment Plant.

The delivery of the pipe systems will begin in June 2008 and is expected to be completed by December 2009. The Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company was established to provide sewerage, waste water treatment and disposal services within Abu Dhabi.

It has recently taken over the ownership, management and operations of the sewerage system from the Abu Dhabi and Al Ain municipalities.

ADSSC is wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Water and Electric Authority (ADWEA).

FPI's pipe systems will be used for the trunk sewer line and the distribution of treated sewer at both the Al Wathba and Al Sa'ad waste water treatment plants.

The Al Sa'ad and Al Wathba projects were awarded to FPI in March and April respectively.
