Over the past 15 years, Price Brothers Company has provided production plant equipment and technical support for the $20-billion Great Man-Made River Project in North Africa, this century’s largest pipeline project.

Pipeline engineers and owners of overseas projects understand wisdom of using PCCP

Over the past 20 years, Price Brothers' international activities have grown from an occasional project to a very substantial and separately operated business.

Today, prestressed concrete cylinder pipe and Price Brothers are synonymous in the minds of many foreign engineers and contractors. They have learned to appreciate and rely on the same quality products and service we have provided our customers in the United States for over 50 years.

We now export pipe to several large overseas projects each year and have since 1990 established a new pipe production plant in a foreign country every 2 to 3 years. In addition, we provide consulting, design services, and a supply of critical components and spare parts to almost a dozen foreign PCCP plants.

Recently the company consolidated its international activities with its operations in London, England, under the direction of John R. Stoner.

Established in the early 1980's, Price Brothers (UK) Limited has for 15 years provided consulting and support for the Great Man-Made River Project in North Africa, where over 1800 miles of 156-inch diameter pipe have been produced and installed in harsh desert conditions.

Today, PB (UK) continues to work on this huge project as it also administers other work in China, the Middle East, Vietnam and Africa. PB (UK) has available many of the resources and personnel from our U.S. operations to help implement projects.

Keeping in touch with customers and projects around the world is one of the great challenges for any business. E-mail, laptop computers, and translators are the tools of our trade. A daily conference call with each active project is also part of the business--even when the project is 12 time zones away.

Having dedicated employees willing to travel and live in less than ideal conditions has been the key to our success. Many of our U.S. based employees have been involved with training and project start-ups.
