Ottawa – 9 December, 2013 – BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSX-V: BLM), a Canadian cleantech company, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract valued at US$2.348 million to provide wastewater treatment systems and related installation services to Grupo Unidos por el Canal (GUPC) and the Panama Canal Authority.

“We’re very pleased that GUPC selected BluMetric to design, build, install, and commission these critical pieces of environmental infrastructure to the Canal expansion project,” said Dan Scroggins, President of the BluMetric Water Division. “With GUPC, we were able to provide advanced technical solutions that exactly fit their needs, in an environment that demands robust design and flexible customer service options.”

“This project provides a strong indication of our ability to market and deliver our solutions to large multinational customers, a specific trigger for growth outlined in our strategic plan,” said Roger Woeller, BluMetric’s co-Chief Executive Officer. “We have a significant presence in Latin America, and this project signals our readiness to expand in that region. We look forward to working with GUPC as it undertakes this mega-project.”
