Builder Wins Libyan Pipe Contract: Dong Ah Construction Industrial Co. said the $5.68-billion job involves laying 1,100 kilometers of water pipes in the North African country.

The spokesman said a formal agreement will be signed in September for the project, which is scheduled to begin next year and be completed in 2007.
