professional technical and management support services for public and
private clients in more than 140 countries around the world, announced

AECOM and joint venture partners Murphy and Kier will provide upgrade
services to Deephams in order to meet new environment agency sewage
treatment standards without disrupting the facility’s current operation.
The project will improve the water quality of London’s River Lee,
increase capacity to allow for future rises in population and
significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of odor on site.
“Our team’s creative, sustainable and cost-effective approach is an
example of how AECOM can enable a client like Thames Water to meet
complex challenges with energy-neutral solutions,” said AECOM Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio. “We are honored that AECOM
will be contributing to one of the biggest infrastructure projects in
the United Kingdom’s water industry.”
Work on the project is set to begin immediately by preparing for the
planning application, which is expected to be submitted during summer
2014.
