AECOM is developing a live hydraulic model for a smart canal in Glasgow that will proactively manage flood risk and water quality using rainfall forecast data. The system will provide surface water storage when required and deliver flood risk mitigation by using automated regulation of the canal level. A set of controls open and close the discharge and feeder sluices to lower canal levels based on anticipated storm runoff. The stormwater then raises the canal back to a normal operating level. AECOM is providing a range of technical and advisory services for the approximately $5-million project, called the North Glasgow Integrated Water Management System. AECOM’s services include engineering design, hydraulic modeling and project management. MacKenzie Construction is the contractor, and Fairfields Control Systems is installing the telemetry and IT hardware. In August, the project team completed the civil, monitoring and IT infrastructure portion of the project, but work on the modeling continues. AECOM says that repurposing an 18th-century canal for modern use is more cost-effective than traditional approaches.

Mott MacDonald is providing program management, design, supervision and construction of a water pumping station and transmission pipelines as well as improvements to the distribution system for a new water treatment plant that will deliver drinking water to more than 4.5 million people in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The project will convey water from the Meghna River using a high-performance pumping system, which will feed twin pipelines more than 2 meters wide and more than 30 km long. Large pipes will be installed underneath densely populated urban areas. Other members of the joint venture team include Sweco and Artelia. The Dhaka Water and Sewerage Authority announced the project award in October.

7月,泰晤士河水(Thames Water)授予合资团队1.45亿美元的合同,将其现有的废水处理厂之一搬迁到另一个前垃圾填埋场。该工厂正在移动,为沿Wey河沿岸计划的新开发项目腾出空间。Arcadis是Bam Nuttal-Doosan合资团队的一部分,将提供与该项目的岩土,结构和民用方面有关的设计服务。垃圾填埋场既包含工业和家庭垃圾,又有自然保护区和洪泛区附近。Arcadis设计将纳入使用桩和地面改进方法,以减少整个现场的差异解决方案。
