LOS ANGELES (March 14, 2012) — AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of professional technical and management support services for public and private clients in more than 130 countries around the world, announced today that a joint venture in which it participates has been awarded a US$62.3-million design-build contract for Rhode Island’s Lawton Valley Water Treatment Plant and upgrade of the state’s Station No. 1 plant in Newport.
Under the contract, the AECOM joint venture team will deliver comprehensive design-build services for the two water treatment plants, including permitting, design, construction, start-up and commissioning.
