AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE:ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for public and
private clients in more than 140 countries around the world, announced
today that it has been awarded an electrical, mechanical and
architectural consultancy contract for Singapore’s proposed North-South
Expressway worth nearly US$15 million.
AECOM will provide multidisciplinary services covering mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, structural, fire engineering, geotechnical,
environmental and transportation-planning to accommodate the project’s
complex technical challenges. The 13.4-mile expressway will run parallel
to the country’s Central Expressway, connecting towns along the
north-south corridor, such as Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Ang Mo Kio,
Bishan and Toa Payoh, with the city center.
“We are delighted to play a key role in the North-South Expressway
project,” said AECOM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John M.
Dionisio. “By participating in this important project, AECOM will be
able to utilize our integrated capabilities to contribute to the
continued advancement of Singapore’s infrastructure.”
The proposed expressway is expected to relieve the traffic load on the
heavily utilized Central Expressway, as well as nearby major arterial
roads. According to the Land Transport Authority of Singapore, it is
anticipated that the expressway will save commuters from the northern
towns up to 30 percent of their current commuting times during peak
hours.
