Outotec to deliver turnkey drinking water treatment scheme to Sri Lanka

Outotec has been awarded a major contract by the Government of Sri Lanka to
supply a drinking water supply scheme to the Ampara District on the East Coast
of Sri Lanka.  The value of the contract exceeds EUR 70 million.

Outotec's scope of delivery includes design, supply, construction, installation
and commissioning of a water treatment plant and related pump stations and
equipment, transmission mains and distribution piping as well as associated
infrastructure. This project represents the third and final phase of a scheme
designed to provide treated pipe borne water to over 75% of the Ampara District.
The project, officially known as the Integrated Water Supply Scheme for the Un-
served Areas of Ampara District - Phase III, has been the product of a drive
from the Government of Sri Lanka to provide pipe borne drinking water to the
rural areas of the island.  Following Outotec's delivery of Phases I and II in
1999 and 2002 respectively, completion of Phase III is scheduled for November
2013."Outotec's experience in managing projects across the globe was key in helping
source and secure the funding necessary for the final phase of this project.
Access to clean water will improve the quality of life of some half a million
people in Sri Lanka", explains Pertti Korhonen, CEO of Outotec and continues,"This contract also underlines our expertise in businesses beyond mining andmetallurgical industries, such as water treatment and supply."
