AECOM to perform upgrades to Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant in Ontario

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 21:03:02 +0000

TORONTO (September 25, 2024) — AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced it has been selected by the Regional Municipality of Durham to provide engineering services for upgrades to the Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), which services approximately 50,000 residents in the Town of Bowmanville. Once complete, the updates are planned to enhance the performance and reliability of the plant while also considering environmental sustainability and the reduction of energy waste and overall operational costs, benefitting both the region and the community.

“Having managed some of the world’s most ambitious water and wastewater infrastructure programs, we look forward to delivering unrivaled services that will support the Regional Municipality of Durham in providing local Bowmanville residents with reliable wastewater treatment,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business. “Our Sustainable Legacies strategy centers around the role of infrastructure to deliver a better world, and we’re proud that this program presents an opportunity to protect Durham’s waterbodies and greatly enhance its environmental safety and sustainability.”

The four-year contract’s scope of work is comprised of two upgrade projects. The first will focus on replacing the existing Waste Gas Burner (WGB), which is at the end of its service life, with an enclosed flame WGB. The second project will tackle upgrades to Plant 1 liquid treatment systems, the SCADA system, and other vital clean-up work around the Plant. Key project components include updating the Plant 1 primary and secondary clarifier mechanisms, upgrading the Plant 1 aeration tank aeration system, and full SCADA and PLC programming for a fully integrated Plant. All SCADA and PLC programming, along with commissioning, will be completed by the AECOM team in-house.

“The Town of Bowmanville is expected to see considerable population growth in the coming years. Bolstering resilience of the Town’s wastewater infrastructure is critical to meeting the demands growing communities place on water and wastewater systems,” said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada region. “Our unique expertise with retrofit projects bolstered by our familiarity with the Regional Municipality of Durham positions us to deliver these upgrades in a timely manner while minimizing interruption to the existing plant operation.”

AECOM’s successful track record engineering similar retrofits and upgrades of wastewater plants in North America includes delivery of the Los Angeles’ Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) and New York City’s Wastewater Resiliency Program with experience in optimizing oxygen utilization through better operations and controls, understanding environmental impacts to obtain required permits, and in-house SCADA programming.

AECOM to provide design and engineering services for the Clarkson Water Resource Recovery Facility in Ontario

Wed, 22 May 2024 10:55:38 +0000

DALLAS (May 22, 2024) — AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced it has been selected by the Regional Municipality of Peel (Peel Region) to provide design and engineering services for the expansion of the Clarkson Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) in Ontario’s Peel Region. AECOM will be responsible for the design and implementation of the expansion, providing increased capacity and flexibility to accommodate the growing population within the Greater Toronto Area.

“As we extend our client relationship with Peel Region, we’re excited to leverage a continuously strengthening bench of water sector expertise,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business. “As the number one Water design practice as recently ranked by Engineering-News Record, we look forward to bringing our extensive experience borne from an unrivaled portfolio of some of the world’s most complex wastewater projects to bear on the WRRF, which is expected to provide long-lasting positive impacts on residents.”

This will be the third major expansion of the Clarkson WRRF facility and the next stage to bring its capacity to 500 MLD by 2029. AECOM also served as the original designers of the Clarkson WRRF Phase I and II expansions, where its digital capabilities were instrumental in expanding the facility’s SCADA system for automated process control, enabling the client to optimize their operations throughout the entire 20+ year lifecycle.

In addition to the expansion, Phase III will include a new standby power energy center to protect the critical infrastructure of the plant and help maintain treatment during power outages. The design will also feature innovative solutions to support state-of-the-art treatment, including enhanced biological phosphorus removal to reduce chemical use and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency. These initiatives will support Peel Region’s Energy Policy, which aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions at their WRRFs by 2050.

“We are honored to be selected to help realize this critical expansion — the latest of many transformational projects our teams are delivering across the Greater Toronto Area,” said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada region. “Having successfully designed prior expansions to this major facility, our teams possess a unique technical understanding of the project and a deep familiarity with the region’s objectives as it seeks to meet the needs of a growing population.”

Other work AECOM is currently delivering for Peel Region includes the Clarkson Cogeneration Expansion, which utilizes waste methane produced in the treatment process to create green electricity, and multiple projects supporting drinking water treatment at the Arthur P. Kennedy and Lorne Park water treatment plants.
