Aegion Corp. (AEGN: Quote) announced that its subsidiary, Insituform Technologies USA, LLC, has received a $6.3 million contract from the City of Springfield, Missouri for the rehabilitation of over 114,000 feet of small-, medium- and large-diameter sewer pipelines.

The company stated that the City of Springfield has initiated a four-year improvement plan valued at up to $30 million to eliminate infiltration issues impacting the integrity of its sewer pipelines. This project is the first year of the planned improvements and will include sewer pipeline inspection using closed-circuit television, manhole rehabilitation and the installation of cured-in-place pipe on laterals and pipelines.

The remaining three years of the improvement plan will include yearly contracts valued at up to $8 million per year. It is expected that each of these remaining contracts will be awarded through a standard competitive bidding process, the company said.

Work on this project will begin in July and is expected to take approximately eight months to complete.

Stocks moved sharply higher over the course of the trading day on Friday, more than offsetting the weakness seen on Thursday. In a reversal from the previous session, the markets benefited from some upbeat U.S. economic data as well as comments from a Federal Reserve official. The major averages saw further upside going into the close, with the Dow and the S&P 500 reaching new record highs. As the IRS targeting scandal continues to make headlines, animal-protection charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, claims that conservative groups are not the only ones that have faced increased scrutiny from the agency. While the IRS targeting scandal has taken center stage on Capitol Hill on Friday, the results of a new Gallup poll showed that the American public's interest in the story is comparatively low based on historical measures. The poll showed that 54 percent of Americans are following the news that the IRS targeted conservative groups for greater scrutiny "very" or "somewhat" closely.
