AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, announced today it is one of the firms that has been selected
by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection
(NYCDEP) to provide design services for the City’s cloudburst
management program, alleviating nuisance flooding events in at-risk
areas. Under this seven-year task-order program, AECOM will
implement multi-benefit, integrated, flood risk reduction systems
that manage stormwater during wet weather events to improve public
spaces, reduce impacts to the natural environment, and bolster the
resilience of social, environmental, and economic systems.
“AECOM is at the forefront of climate change adaptation and has
successfully implemented stormwater cloudburst strategies and
designs to mitigate localized and widespread flooding in some of
the nation’s most challenging environments,” said Beverley Stinson,
chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business. “We’re honored to
help the City of New York implement an array of resilient practices
to bring wide-ranging environmental benefits to its many diverse
communities.”
AECOM will provide NYCDEP with capabilities in gray and green
infrastructure to deliver innovative nuisance flooding mitigation
strategies, helping areas historically overburdened by flooding.
Services will include project planning and assessments, permitting,
engineering and landscape architecture design, hydrologic and
hydraulic modeling, resident engagement, benefit-cost analysis,
bidding support and design during delivery.
“AECOM has a long history of successfully delivering extreme
rainfall mitigation strategies for many New York City, state, and
federal agency improvement programs,” said Bane Gaiser, chief
executive of AECOM’s U.S. East and Latin America region. “Having
implemented gray and green stormwater measures across all five
boroughs, our team’s in-depth understanding of the region, its
communities and agency needs allows us to navigate site
constraints, permitting requirements, and stakeholder issues
efficiently and with nuanced sensitivity.”
Cloudburst management involves the design and implementation of
multiple, integrated elements to absorb, store and/or transfer
stormwater in a specific geographical location or neighborhood.
Green infrastructure elements are generally employed for absorption
and storage, while traditional, gray stormwater methods are used
for storage and transfer. Because of New York City’s dense, urban
environment, it is often necessary to combine the functions of
green and gray measures to meet stormwater management needs.
Through its sewer design and construction projects across the five
boroughs, the AECOM team will employ both gray and green
infrastructure to efficiently use public space and integrate new
infrastructure with existing underground utilities.
