The venture will deliver a new conveyance tunnel on behalf of
the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to improve
the reliability and resilience of the City’s water supply.
AECOM® (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure
consulting firm, today announced that the New York City Department
of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) has selected an AECOM joint
venture to provide inspection services for the Kensico – Eastview
Connection project. In this role, the joint venture will oversee
the delivery of the Kensico Third Conveyance Tunnel, which will
supply water from the Kensico Reservoir to the Catskill-Delaware
Ultra Violet (CDUV) Disinfection Facility in Eastview, New
York.
Designed to carry 2.6 billion gallons of water per day, this
new, third conveyance tunnel will provide an increased water flow
into the CDUV before it is delivered to New York City residents.
Once completed, the tunnel will provide redundancy and flexibility
to the city’s water supply system, allowing for more efficient
movement of water and ensuring that the city has a reliable backup
in the event of a disruption to its existing supply routes.
“We’re proud to extend our decades-long relationship with New
York City, serving as a trusted partner as the city plans
increasingly ambitious critical infrastructure projects,” said
Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM’s global Water business.
“Our leading expertise in the water sector, bolstered by our local
success and global capabilities, positions us to help ensure this
major urban water system — one of the world’s largest — continues
to deliver clean, safe, and reliable drinking water for all New
Yorkers.”
The joint venture will supervise three concurrent teams to
complete the project. The first team will oversee the delivery of
the 2-mile-deep tunnel. The second team will focus on the build out
of new facilities and connection to the tunnels from new and the
existing CDUV facility in Eastview. The third team will stabilize
the shoreline during delivery and provide wetlands mitigation
adjacent to the Kensico Reservoir. When completed, this third
conveyance tunnel will allow the capacity of the Kensico Reservoir
to grow and maintain levels as work is underway on a separate
reservoir in Hillview.
“This large, multifaceted project will not only revitalize key
infrastructure, but will also bring important environmental
benefits to one of New York City’s largest water sources and its
surroundings,” said Bane Gaiser, chief executive of AECOM’s U.S.
East and Latin America region. “Our history of similar successful
water projects of this scale in New York coupled with the
industry-leading experts of this joint venture team will benefit
the NYCDEP, the state of New York, and the communities within New
York City.”
The project is part of a larger effort by the NYCDEP to upgrade
and modernize the city’s aging water supply infrastructure. With
the connection to the Eastview UV Facility through an additional
hydraulic link, the New York City water supply system will be
better protected should the Delaware Aqueduct become
unavailable.
