Amiantit awarded SAR 95.2 million orders for major projects in Jubail, Yanbu, Rabigh and Abu Dhabi

"While the Amiantit Group is a global industrial organization with factories and customers all around the world, supplying pipe systems for Saudi Arabia's petrochemical, industrial and water & sewage requirements continues to be at the core of our manufacturing activities," said Eng. Fareed Al-Khalawi, Amiantit President & CEO. "And it is matter of great satisfaction to be able to say that the pipes needed for the Kingdom's infrastructure networks are being manufactured here at home to the highest international standards. In fact, today, it is the Saudi Arabian Amiantit Company that is developing the production technologies and setting the standards for the rest of the world."

The orders in the Kingdom amount to SAR 76.5 million and are for GRP (glass reinforced polyester) and GRE (glass reinforced epoxy) pipes which will be produced at two Amiantit Group manufacturing facilities in Dammam: Amiantit Fiberglass Industries Limited (AFIL) and Bondstrand Limited. The pipes are for gravity water and sewer systems at Saudi Aramco, Khurais, and for potable water, fire water, cooling water and oily water pipe systems for various projects in Rabigh, Jubail and Yanbu.

Another Amiantit Group factory in Dammam, Saudi Arabian Ductile Pipe Systems Company Limited (SADIP), will be manufacturing ductile iron pipes and fittings to fulfil orders worth SAR 18.7 million for potable water networks in Abu Dhabi. The pipes will be supplied to the Shuweihat Water Transmission Scheme, Jabal Dhara to Sir Banyas Island (On-Shore) project, and the Water Network for Construction of Internal Roads in Mohammed Bin Zayed City project.
