Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: PPIH) today announced its subsidiary Perma-Pipe Saudi Arabia has been awarded a $5.1 million contract by Nesma & Partners Contracting Co. Ltd. for the provision of thermally insulated pipe and field joints for a district cooling network for Umm Al Qura for Development & Construction Company (UAQ), in the King Abdul Aziz Road Development (KAAR). The combined value of contracts awarded to Perma-Pipe Saudi Arabia in Q3 2020 was $5.7 million.
The project will utilize Perma-Pipe’s premier engineered POLY-THERM® insulation system, a spray-applied polyisocyanurate foam jacketed with a tough fiberglass reinforced outer jacket.

The project will begin execution in Perma-Pipe’s facilities in Dammam Industrial City, Saudi Arabia in Q4 2020.
Raed Al Saleh, General Manager for Perma-Pipe Saudi Arabia states, “Perma-Pipe looks forward to continuing our partnership with Nesma & Partners and UAQ.
