AECOM selected for design role on Bradford water plant
AECOM has been awarded the contract to act as design partners on the Bradford Water Pollution Control Plant Biosolids Upgrade project in Bradford West Gwillimbury.
The company announced the news on July 20. As part of the design-build team, it will work with contractors Maple Reinders to help deliver on the project’s technical, operational, financial, environmental and social objectives.
“We are proud to partner with Maple Reinders to provide a dedicated, collaborative and experienced team capable of delivering this design-build project in accordance with the Town of Bradford’s objectives,” said chief executive Marc Devlin. “As a recognized leader in the design of water and wastewater infrastructure, particularly in biosolids processing, we look forward to delivering holistic, impactful solutions that will assist the town in continuing to provide its residents with reliable wastewater treatment.”
The design-build team will deliver engineering and construction services for upgrades to waste activated sludge (WAS) processing by providing new WAS storage and a new WAS thickening system complete with new polymer and odour control systems. This scope includes project management, detailed design, construction management, testing and commissioning, permitting, procurement, and warranty period services.
