AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the trusted global infrastructure leader,
today announced that its joint venture with Jacobs Consultancy
Canada has been selected by Metro Vancouver to provide preliminary
engineering services for the Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant
upgrade. The project seeks to upgrade the existing facility to meet
regulatory requirements and ensure protection of public health and
the environment in a growing region.
“As Metro Vancouver continues to invest in its water treatment
facilities, we’re ready to support them as the industry’s top Water
design firm,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s
global Water business. “Aligned with global trends toward
investment in sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including
in solving global water supply challenges, our team is excited to
apply our expertise in advanced water treatment technologies to the
Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, ensuring it meets the
highest environmental standards and supports regional
sustainability.”
Built in 1963, the plant serves approximately 750,000 residents
and processes about 200 billion liters of wastewater annually.
Through the plant upgrades, Metro Vancouver aims to ensure the
project will improve water quality, support the region’s carbon
neutrality objectives and enhance climate resilience. The joint
venture will provide preliminary engineering services, including
design and project planning oversight. The project intends to
provide significant and sustainable improvements to the treatment
facilities whilst minimizing environmental impact and enhancing
operational efficiency.
“We’re proud to serve as a trusted partner on this critical
upgrade, which builds on several recent water and wastewater
treatment projects our teams are delivering for Metro Vancouver,”
said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada region.
“Our deep understanding of the region’s unique environmental
challenges and our experience on local projects will be
instrumental in enhancing Metro Vancouver’s wastewater treatment
capabilities and protecting the natural environment.”
