AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced the City of Norfolk, Virginia has selected
its joint venture with Moffatt & Nichol and Volkert to provide
program and project management services in support of Norfolk’s
$2.6 billion Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) Program. AECOM
will serve as managing partner of the Norfolk Resilience Partners
JV, which assembles a deep bench of subject matter experts to
support a team of local, highly dedicated and committed
professionals to bolster Norfolk’s role as the Local Sponsor for
this program. As an initiative of the Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE), the program aims to increase the City’s infrastructure
resiliency, protecting it from coastal flooding and mitigating
damage from significant storm events.
“As a major coastal city and maritime hub, the City of Norfolk
is a place with significant history and critical infrastructure for
the nation,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s
global Water business. “Norfolk’s CSRM program provides a holistic
approach to flood risk management to improve the way of life in
this waterfront community and protect its economy and character.
Our collective experience of more than 3,700 coastal and resiliency
projects and nearly 80 years of working history with USACE will
prepare us to bring this complex yet critical program to
completion.”
Under the single-award contract, Norfolk Resilience Partners
will deliver comprehensive services, including program and project
management, engineering and design, real estate services, public
engagement, utility coordination, environmental and cultural
resources evaluations and compliance, grant management and more.
The project will be divided into five implementation phases: four
phases associated with four watershed areas (Downtown, Pretty Lake,
Lafayette River, Broad Creek) and the fifth phase to provide
Non-Structural solutions across the City, such as home elevations,
basement fills, and floodproofing.
“The program’s impact on the future of Norfolk’s flood
management and the quality of life of its residents make it a model
for resiliency programs for cities up and down the Atlantic coast,
and even across the globe,” said Bane Gaiser, chief executive of
AECOM’s U.S. East and Latin America region. “We’re proud to be
involved in this collaborative effort with our partners, the City
of Norfolk and USACE, to protect the lives of the Norfolk community
and ensure the City’s long-term resilience.”
Norfolk was identified to be highly vulnerable to flooding by
the USACE, having one of the highest rates of relative sea level
rise among the Atlantic coastal communities. The joint venture’s
main mission is to strengthen and prioritize Norfolk’s
infrastructure to adapt to climate changes and protect against
coastal storm risk for years to come, while maintaining the City’s
livable coastal character. This includes a system of floodwalls
with levees, surge barriers, nature-based features, tide gates,
pump stations, and non-structural elements, such as home
elevations, basement fills, and floodproofing.
