 CONSIDERATIONS
 § Introduced Insitumain in March 2009 -
 - Fully Structural CIPP water product
 - Current capability - diameters from 6” to 12”, operating pressures up to 150 psi (working on
 developing capability up to 24”), and any type of host pipe material -
very important as it can
 addresses 65-70% of market issues
 - Epoxy resin system allows adhesive seal of connections (versus mechanical seal)
 § Began pilot testing in the 3rd quarter with success
 § Will continue pilot tests in the 4th quarter
 § Already secured approximately $2 million in project awards, with more pending

 - >30% drop in ancillary businesses (CCSI, BWW, Baton Rouge Coating JV)
 - Virtually no work in small diameter gas market in 2009
 - Oil market rebounding, leading to increased quote activity late in the year

 2009
 § Platform sales momentum created by recent Mexican project awards (see next slide)
 STRATEGIC OUTLOOK

 complement our execution capability
 Ø Flexible pipe opportunities to access markets where dig
 and replace will remain dominant
 Ø Pipeline integrity services
