A joint venture of Stantec and Freese and Nichols has secured a five-year, $25m multiple award task order from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to deliver architecture and engineering services in Mobile district of Alabama, US.

The JV will provide planning, design, and construction phase services to the district’s Water and Wastewater Technical Centre of Expertise (WWTCX), a national centre of expertise under the USACE Planning and Excellence Program.

This contract will help support WWTCX’s mission to provide engineering solutions to cut down disaster risk.

WWTCX gives guidance to the USACE globally on potable water supplies; water treatment, storage, and distribution; as well as domestic and industrial water/wastewater collection, pumping, treatment, and disposal.

The Stantec-Freese and Nichols JV team will be responsible for providing WWTCX with a variety of support services on water, wastewater, and civil works projects, including treatment processes and technologies, energy deduction and optimisation, models of water and wastewater networks, pump stations, and other associated systems.

Stantec’s US federal programme senior vice president Chris Williams said: “For more than 60 years, we’ve provided USACE with the highest quality design and engineering services globally. We’re proud to support the Corps’ Water and Wastewater Technical Center of Expertise in its mission to deliver clean water at home and abroad.”
