DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, announced that it is one of the companies that have been appointed by Northern Ireland Water (NI Water) to deliver asset management, design, site supervision, program and project management services on its IF182 Professional Services Framework, supporting projects from inception through delivery. AECOM has been appointed to two lots on the Framework, which is designed to help realize NI Water’s ambitious capital programs that will provide sustainable water and wastewater solutions.
“We look forward to building on our long-term partnership with NI Water, deploying cutting-edge insights and technologies drawn from AECOM’s global capabilities,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business. “Our local expertise and success on large-scale water infrastructure improvements prepare us to deliver sustainable solutions that help NI Water advance its business, customer and environmental objectives.”

This latest appointment builds on AECOM’s long legacy of delivery for NI Water that spans several decades.
“We are proud of AECOM’s multi-decade track record of partnering with NI Water and water companies across the United Kingdom and Ireland as they seek to improve their sustainability outcomes,” said Colin Wood, chief executive of AECOM’s Europe & India region. “Our integrated, collaborative approach to program delivery has made us a trusted partner in the ongoing modernization of the region’s water infrastructure, including on an increasing number of substantial water investments as part of the AMP8 period, and will help ensure the delivery of safe, reliable drinking water and wastewater services while protecting the environment.”
NI Water supplies 605 million liters of drinking water daily and treats 362 million liters of wastewater every day. The IF182 Professional Services Framework covers the remaining three years of price control period PC21 and into PC27, supporting NI Water’s long-term strategy focused on delivering high quality drinking water, protecting and enhancing the natural environment and efficiently delivering infrastructure to underpin sustainable growth.
AECOM’s appointment to the framework is for an initial duration of four years, with options to extend it by an additional four years. It follows an extensive pipeline of work for NI Water, including the upgrade of Kinnegar Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) and Sydenham Wastewater Pumping Station (WwPS).
