AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced it has been selected by the Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDOT) to provide project inspection services
for the construction of drainage tunnels for the next phase of its
$4.5 billion Capital Express (CapEx) Central project in Austin. The
project includes the delivery of two large-diameter drainage
tunnels and a pump station to provide storm drainage infrastructure
relieve flooding and improve safety along the vital I-35 corridor
serving the state’s capital.
“With extensive experience working on more than 2,000 miles of
tunnel projects worldwide, we are excited to partner with TxDOT on
this technically complex project, which will serve as a key
foundation for the CapEx Central project,” said Matt Crane, chief
executive of AECOM’s U.S. West region. “We look forward to
leveraging our team of multidisciplinary experts and utilizing our
innovative tunneling technology to deliver a crucial component for
one of the most important mobility projects in Central Texas."
AECOM will oversee the development of two drainage tunnels along
I-35 and Cesar Chavez Boulevard to collect stormwater and function
as a drainage conveyance system, safely guiding water beneath the
road without disrupting traffic or above-ground infrastructure,
while the pump station will divert the accumulated water into the
Colorado River. According to TxDOT, this eight-mile stretch of I-35
carries nearly 200,000 vehicles each day, serving as vital
transportation link connecting Austin, Central Texas and
beyond.
“We’re proud to continue our ongoing partnership with TxDOT to
create a better-connected, dependable road network for Austin
commuters,” said Mark Southwell, chief executive of AECOM’s global
Transportation business. “Through our Think and Act Globally
strategy, we bring a network of leading international drainage
tunnel resources and best practices focused on helping ensure the
resilience of Texas roadways well into the future.”
Once complete, the I-35 CapEx Central project is expected to
enhance safety, alleviate congestion, optimize operations, and
establish a more reliable route for all travelers, including
bicyclists, pedestrians, emergency responders and transit users.
The project will also reconstruct east-west cross-street bridges,
add pedestrian and bicycle paths, and make additional safety and
mobility improvements within the project limits.
