Harsco wins new business

Harsco parent of SGB and Hünnebeck has secured three new contracts valued at around $7 million on large infrastructure projects in Europe and the Middle East.

In Dubai it has won a contract from Todini S.p.a, to supply a range of rental formwork systems for use in constructing roads and bridges in the Jumeirah Lake Towers area, a huge development consisting of 87 mid- and high-rise towers.

In France the company has been awarded a large-scale contract by Bouygues to provide rental formwork for a new state-of-the-art office tower near Paris known as the Tour Mozart. When completed in 2010, the new offices will become the headquarters for Bouygues Telecom,

In Germany, Harsco’s rental formwork will be used for the cast-in-place concrete construction of the Rhein-Galerie, a major new shopping mall being built in Ludwigshafen on the banks of the Rhine. Scheduled for completion in late 2010, the new mall will accommodate 120 shops and restaurants.

Harsco chairman and chief executive Salvatore D. Fazzolari said: “These contracts underscore Harsco’s substantial international balance and major client relationships serving multiple market sectors,” said “The inherent mobility of our rental stock allows us to redeploy our equipment wherever necessary to meet our customers’ growing needs on an expanding geographic basis.”
