AECOM Joint Venture to Support Delivery of Kensico - Eastview Connection Project

EASTVIEW, NY — AECOM announces that the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) has selected an AECOM joint venture to provide inspection services for the Kensico - Eastview Connection project. In this role, the joint venture will oversee the delivery of the Kensico Third Conveyance Tunnel, which will supply water from the Kensico Reservoir to the Catskill-Delaware Ultra Violet (CDUV) Disinfection Facility in Eastview, New York.

Designed to carry 2.6 billion gallons of water per day, this new, third conveyance tunnel will provide an increased water flow into the CDUV before it is delivered to New York City residents. Once completed, the tunnel will provide redundancy and flexibility to the city’s water supply system, allowing for more efficient movement of water and ensuring that the city has a reliable backup in the event of a disruption to its existing supply routes.

“Our leading expertise in the water sector, bolstered by our local success and global capabilities, positions us to help ensure this major urban water system — one of the world’s largest — continues to deliver clean, safe, and reliable drinking water for all New Yorkers,” said Beverley Stinson, Chief Executive of AECOM’s global Water business.

The joint venture will supervise three concurrent teams to complete the project. The first team will oversee the delivery of the 2-mile-deep tunnel. The second team will focus on the build out of new facilities and connection to the tunnels from new and the existing CDUV facility in Eastview. The third team will stabilize the shoreline during delivery and provide wetlands mitigation adjacent to the Kensico Reservoir. When completed, this third conveyance tunnel will allow the capacity of the Kensico Reservoir to grow and maintain levels as work is underway on a separate reservoir in Hillview.
