Doha - Dubai-based Future Pipe Industries Group (FPI), a major manufacturer of large-diameter fiberglass pipe systems, has won a major contract worth $138m (QR505m) to supply Fiberstrong fiberglass pipes and fittings for Phase 2, category II, of a project to expand a seawater cooling facility at Ras Laffan Industrial City.
FPI, through its subsidiary, Future Pipe Industries Qatar, has already supplied Fiberstrong for a portion of Ras Laffan's piping systems in connection with Phase 1 and the category I of Phase 2.
By the time Phase 2 is completed, FPI is expected to have delivered approximately 176,000 meters of Fiberstrong fiberglass pipes, the equivalent of one third the length of Qatar's coastline.
FPI Fiberstrong pipe systems will be used for above and below ground seawater cooling lines, fire water and chlorination.
The delivery of these fiberglass pipe systems in connection with Phase 2 category II is expected to commence this year.
