AECOM is pleased to be a palladium sponsor of the 2024 WOCA Conference held May 13-16, 2024, in Grand Rapids, MI. The conference focuses on the science, applications and sustainability of worldwide coal combustion products in an evolving environment for proper management.

AECOM is an industry leader with more than 40 years of coal combustion residuals (CCR) experience in strategic planning, designing, permitting and construction oversight:

Compliance and engineering services at over 250 CCR units (surface impoundments and landfills):

  • Closure designs for over 90 CCR pond closures
  • Design, permitting and construction-related services at more than 70 CCR landfills
  • Beneficial use investigation, evaluation, and engineering projects at over 30 CCR facilities

Building on AECOM’s focus on Environment, Social and Governance (ESG), we rely on this extensive database of projects to bring innovation, and cost and schedule efficiency to our clients on every project.

Our team will host 8 presentations and chair one panel during the conference:
