AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced it has been selected by Peel Region to
provide program management services for the Queen Street Housing
Enabling Infrastructure Program (HEIP). This initiative aims to
build the necessary wastewater and water linear infrastructure to
support the development of housing mandated under Bill 23, which
includes Ontario’s goal to build 1.5 million units by 2031.
“We are proud to partner with Peel Region on this groundbreaking
program, accelerating infrastructure delivery while safeguarding
the public and advancing more sustainable cities,” said Drew Jeter,
chief executive of AECOM’s Program Management global business line.
“Our program management capabilities will ensure innovative
solutions that meet the Region’s goals and set a new standard for
infrastructure delivery, while supporting the long-term health and
vitality of the community.”
“Our teams have played a central role in shaping the Region’s
water infrastructure, having already delivered an array of
treatment facilities for this rapidly growing community,” said
Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business.
“As the industry’s top global water firm, our unparalleled
technical expertise prepares us to realize our clients' boldest
ambitions as they accelerate their investments in water
infrastructure modernization and expansion.”
The Queen Street HEIP plans to build essential infrastructure to
support new housing projects, stimulate local economic growth and
improve community well-being. AECOM’s scope of work for the program
includes planning, designing, and implementing new water and
wastewater systems to ensure residents have safe and reliable
drinking water and wastewater services that meet the accelerated
growth and housing demands in Peel.
“With our proven track record of managing complex water and
wastewater programs, we are ready to deliver on this critical
program,” said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada
region. “Our in-depth knowledge of the Region’s infrastructure
priorities, and experienced local water experts stand ready to
deliver large-scale infrastructure improvements that support
sustainable development well into the future.”
AECOM’s most recent work in the region includes the expansion of
the Clarkson Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), which aims to
increase capacity at the facility to accommodate the area’s growing
population as well as multiple projects supporting drinking water
treatment at the Arthur P. Kennedy and Lorne Park water treatment
plants.
