• The infrastructure consulting firm will serve as the design partner for the Bradford Water Pollution Control Plan Biosolids Upgrade by helping deliver upgrades to waste activated sludge processing.

AECOM, a global infrastructure consulting firm, has been awarded a contract to serve as the design partner for the Bradford Water Pollution Control Plant Biosolids Upgrade project in the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, Ontario.

As part of the design-build team, AECOM will work with Maple Reinders, the project’s construction partner, to help deliver a collaborative approach to meeting 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 Marc Devlin, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada region.

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.

“With the second-highest growth rate in Ontario, this upgrade will help the Town of Bradford be well positioned to serve the community’s considerable population growth targets over the coming years,” said Ian Dyck, senior vice president with AECOM’s Canadian Water business.

As the design lead, AECOM will coordinate the various disciplines required for the successful completion of the integrated facility design, including planning, landscape, and building architecture; process, structural, mechanical, civil, instrumentation/control and electrical engineering; data and communications; and integration of process technology components.
