| Arcadis wins $ 72 million in infrastructure work in the U.S. Arcadis, the international consultancy and engineering company, has been selected for infrastructure projects in the United States with total fees of approximately $72 million in new transportation, water resources and tunneling work. Arcadis was selected as prime consultant for the North Atlanta Interstate Corridor Project (I-285 corridor from I-75 in Cobb County to I-85 in DeKalb County) for the Georgia Department of Transportation. Valued at approximately $3.5 billion in construction, this specific segment of I-285 is one of the most heavily traveled corridors in Georgia. Arcadis is partnering with Raytheon to provide advanced transportation design and infrastructure services to the Texas Department of Transportation to develop, build and maintain open-road toll collection systems in Texas. The contract duration is five years and the total construction value is approximately $250 million. The diversity of Arcadis' work is also seen in the Upper Rouge River combined sewer overflow (CSO) tunnel for the Detroit Water & Sewer Department, a $600M construction project. The firm, based on its European underground structures experience, has been selected to provide tunnel-engineering expertise for the 180 million gallon rock tunnel. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
