| Arcadis awarded contracts in Columbia Dutch engineering consultancy Arcadis announced that it has been selected by the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water) for two contracts totaling $60M in value, further establishing the company as a trusted advisor in the D.C. water sector. Arcadis will assist with the management and the implementation of DC Water's $1.6 billion sewer system capital improvement program. In addition, Arcadis will manage under a four-year construction management contract, the implementation of the $400 million biosolids program at the 370 mgd Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant. In the greater D.C. community sewer system improvement projects will take place over the next five years to help restore structural and performance integrity to the system and minimize disruption across a network that includes more than 1, 800 miles of sewer pipe and eight major pumping stations, providing conveyance of wastewater to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant. At Blue Plains, under a second contract, ARCADIS will leverage its program management experience in construction of large-capacity, sophisticated treatment systems on very confined sites. As a very serious commitment to sustainable systems, DC Water will produce class "A" biosolids, reduce operating costs, capture waste energy for reuse and reduce the facility's carbon footprint once the construction is completed. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
