3 Infrastructure Solutions pressure pipe portfolio provides opportunities for future growth North America trenchless water pressure pipe Addressable market > $1B Mid single-digit annual growth 22% Pipe Bursting 20% Spray-on 11% CIPP 47% Other Other category includes sliplining, horizontal directional drilling (HDD), fiber-reinforced polymers and other methods Municipal Pressure Pipe Rehabilitation Objective Leverage portfolio to outpace market growth Infrastructure Solutions Portfolio: - InsituMain CIPP - Tyfo Fibrwrap technology - Fusible PVC pipe - Tite Liner HDPE Increase market penetration in North America pressure pipe market - Broad portfolio - Dedicated sales force Introduce new technologies to expand product breadth to meet customer needs Greater contribution from higher margin technologies can incrementally expand Aegion s overall margins Source: Global Water Intelligence (2015 and 2011), BCC Research, Aegion analysis 3

4 Portfolio of trenchless municipal pressure pipe rehabilitation solutions Tite Liner Product Attributes Tight or close fit over a wide range of pipe diameters Installed by compression or deformation Tight fit maximizes flow capacity Strong and ductile Material strength for long pulls New Design InsituMain CIPP Cured-in-place pipe InsituMain CIPP Product Attributes Fully structural independent of host pipe Jointless continuous pipe lining Tight fit maximizes flow capacity Inhibits corrosion or internal buildup Certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 61 Fusible PVC Product Attributes Tyfo Fibrwrap Product Attributes Tite Liner system Thermoplastic lining Part of Corrosion Protection High strength, lightweight and low profile Minimal project footprint Long durability and resistant to corrosion Applicable to a wide range of shapes Large diameter application (36 or greater) Rated to up to 400 psi Withstands gravity loads and operating and transient pressures New Design Tyfo Fibrwrap system Fiber-reinforced polymer Fusible PVC pipe Pipe bursting, sliplining and horizontal directional drilling Applicable for pipe bursting, horizontal directional drilling and sliplining Favorable inner diameter and pressure capacity Continuously fused, gasket free pipe (eliminates mechanical join constraints) Efficient installation Pipe standards (AWWA C900/C605, NSF-61, PPI-TR2, ASTM CC 12454) 4

5 InsituMain trenchless rehabilitation significantly reduces disruption during pipeline rehabilitation Step 1: If required, setup bypass and excavate pits to provide access to the existing pipeline. Clean the pipeline and inspect using closed circuit TV (CCTV). Step 2: Install the InsituMain system liner into the host pipe using water pressure. After curing with hot water, the pipe is cooled and the ends are cut. Following hydrostatic pressure testing, post-installation CCTV inspections are also completed. Step 3: Reconnect lined sections to the existing system using standard pipe fittings. Finally, restore excavation pits and remove temporary bypass, if applicable. 5

6 Tite Liner proprietary installation methods provide high quality installations Roller compression box installation Folding installation Diameter is temporarily reduced by radial compression Timing is important as the liner will begin to grow back once tension is released Can be used for structural or non-structural applications Entire liner section is installed in a single and continuous pull Achieves significant cross sectional reduction Wall thickness limitations maximum w.t. limitation of one inch Not suitable for structural loading Fuse and fold method facilitates small jobsite footprint Only moderate collapse resistance Re-rounded after installation 6

7 Tyfo Fibrwrap systems have internal and external strengthening capabilities Restore pipeline to original hydrostatic pressure capacity Accommodate increased internal pressure requirements Re-establish flexural loading capabilities Restore original external loading capacity of pipeline Upgrade external loading capability due to higher live load/traffic requirements Provide watertight rehabilitation at joints/couplings or transition zones 7

8 Fusible PVC is ideal for multiple municipal pressure pipe rehabilitation methods Horizontal Directional Drilling Sliplining Advantages for horizontal directional drilling Favorable inner diameter and pressure capacity comparison to HDPE = smaller borehole, less cost Continuously fused, gasket-free Fusible PVC pipe Favorable to HPDE solutions - Strength to weight ratio allows for longer and deeper installations - Favorable pipe material costs Advantages for sliplining Utilizes same utility alignment in a simple, fast and inexpensive trenchless method Increased flow area for a given host pipe ID compared to similar pressure class HDPE Industry standard connections Pipe Bursting Advantages for pipe bursting PVC pipe is a common, accepted small-diameter water pipe material: - Same fittings, taps and connections - Same labor skillset - Same operation and maintenance requirements Reduced upsize bursting effort required compared to similar ID/pressure HDPE 8
