Bayou Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd.

Bayou Perma-Pipe Canada, Ltd., a joint venture between The Bayou Companies, Inc. (Bayou) and Perma-Pipe, Inc. has been formed with the recent $12.25M (CAN) acquisition of a Garneau, Inc. pipe coating and insulation facility and associated assets located in Camrose, Alberta Canada.  BPPC will serve as the operating company for Bayou's Canadian operations, with the Camrose location as its main office.  With the acquisition, Bayou has expanded its portfolio of coating solutions and operations locations.

Bayou, a subsidiary of Insituform Technologies, Inc., announced its agreement to acquire the Camrose facility on September 30, 2009. The required shareholder vote completed on October 28 approved the transaction with the closing on October 30. Bayou expects this additional pipe coating and insulation facility in Western Canada will increase its addressable market by approximately $200 million.

Bayou, which was founded in 1942, provides pipe coating, fabrication and logistics capability and is headquartered in New Iberia, Louisiana. Eldridge Indest serves as President of Bayou Perma-Pipe Canada and brings with him 32 years of experience with Bayou, most recently serving as Director of Technical Planning in Bayou’s New Iberia operations.

Bayou’s joint-venture partner, Perma-Pipe, is the leading manufacturer of pre-insulated district heating and cooling piping systems in North America. Perma-Pipe also offers pre-insulated products for subsea oil and gas gathering, LNG terminals and long distance petroleum pipeline transportation. Bayou and Perma-Pipe have been partners in Bayou Flow Technologies (BFT) for approximately 10 years. BFT markets subsea flow assurance products and services to oil companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico.
