Amantit wins contracts in South America

AMIANTIT Group subsidiaries Amitech Argentina and Amitech Brazil are supplying pipe systems for multi-million dollar water infrastructure projects and irrigation networks in their respective countries.

The Argentina order, valued at US$6 million, is for 53 km of Flowtite glass reinforced polyester (GRP) pipes to transmit water from a treatment plant in the city of Trelew to Puerto Madryn on the Patagonian Coast.

Amitech Brazil has secured two orders. The first is for 14 km of Flowtite GRP pipes and fittings urgently required for two water pipelines in neighbouring Columbia. In order to meet the short deadline, Amitech Brazil will manufacture the pipes and the lamination will be done on site by Amiantit's Columbian Flowtite licensee, Flowtite Andercol. The second order is for 1 km of Flowtite GRP pipes required by International Paper, a paper and pulp manufacturer. These pipes will have an isophthalic body resin and a vinyl ester lining.
