TORONTO <\/strong>(September 25, 2024) \u2014 AECOM, the world\u2019s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced it has been selected by the Regional Municipality of Durham to provide engineering services for upgrades to the Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), which services approximately 50,000 residents in the Town of Bowmanville. Once complete, the updates are planned to enhance the performance and reliability of the plant while also considering environmental sustainability and the reduction of energy waste and overall operational costs, benefitting both the region and the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving managed some of the world\u2019s most ambitious water and wastewater infrastructure programs, we look forward to delivering unrivaled services that will support the Regional Municipality of Durham in providing local Bowmanville residents with reliable wastewater treatment,\u201d said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of AECOM\u2019s global Water business. \u201cOur Sustainable Legacies<\/em><\/a> <\/em>strategy centers around the role of infrastructure to deliver a better world, and we\u2019re proud that this program presents an opportunity to protect Durham\u2019s waterbodies and greatly enhance its environmental safety and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four-year contract\u2019s scope of work is comprised of two upgrade projects. The first will focus on replacing the existing Waste Gas Burner (WGB), which is at the end of its service life, with an enclosed flame WGB. The second project will tackle upgrades to Plant 1 liquid treatment systems, the SCADA system, and other vital clean-up work around the Plant. Key project components include updating the Plant 1 primary and secondary clarifier mechanisms, upgrading the Plant 1 aeration tank aeration system, and full SCADA and PLC programming for a fully integrated Plant. All SCADA and PLC programming, along with commissioning, will be completed by the AECOM team in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Town of Bowmanville is expected to see considerable population growth in the coming years. Bolstering resilience of the Town\u2019s wastewater infrastructure is critical to meeting the demands growing communities place on water and wastewater systems,\u201d said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM\u2019s Canada region. \u201cOur unique expertise with retrofit projects bolstered by our familiarity with the Regional Municipality of Durham positions us to deliver these upgrades in a timely manner while minimizing interruption to the existing plant operation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AECOM\u2019s successful track record engineering similar retrofits and upgrades of wastewater plants in North America includes delivery of the Los Angeles\u2019 Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) and New York City\u2019s Wastewater Resiliency Program with experience in optimizing oxygen utilization through better operations and controls, understanding environmental impacts to obtain required permits, and in-house SCADA programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
