AECOM announced that Resources Sciences Arabia Limited, a joint venture in which it participates with Xenel, has been awarded a program management contract in Saudi Arabia.
The two-year contract, which will be worth approximately US$16 million, was awarded by the country’s Prince of Jazan Province, HE Prince Mohammed. Under the contract, AECOM will provide program management services for a new housing development in Jazan.
The development, which has an estimated construction value of US$1.6 billion, includes the creation of five new villages, totaling 6,000 housing units, and related infrastructure. The development will provide free housing for citizens displaced from their homes along the Yemen border by a military conflict during late 2009.
“We are proud to be involved in such a vital program that reflects our commitment to enhancing and sustaining the world’s built, natural and social environments,” said John M. Dionisio, AECOM president and chief executive officer.
