ARCADIS wins two major contracts with one of the largest water supply and waste water treatment firms in the world
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
December 2, 2014 - ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the world's leading natural and
built asset design & consultancy firm, today announced that its Brazilian
subsidiary ARCADIS Logos has signed two contracts with SABESP, one of the
largest water supply and waste water treatment firms in the world. One contract
is valued at US$12,8 million, for a period of 2 years, the other at US$39
million for four years. SABESP is the company responsible for providing water
supply and wastewater treatment to 364 municipalities in the State of Sao Paulo
(Brazil).
The US$12,8 million contract to perform project management for the water supply
and wastewater systems of the northeast of São Paulo Metropolitan Region is part
of a project with estimated total investment of US$ 250 million over the period
2014-2016. The total project area comprises 5,115 km², and features 2.4 million
water connections and 2.1 million wastewater connections, benefiting 16 million
people. As part of a consortium, in which ARCADIS Logos' share is 50%, the
company will perform activities such as management and technical support,
schedule control, costs and planning control, engineering supervision and
monitoring of environmental licensing and construction works for all the work
related to the network expansion.
Earlier this year, ARCADIS also won a contract of US$39 million for four years
to perform management services for SABESP's water loss reduction program. This
US$440 million program will be performed throughout the state of São Paulo,
reaching more than 27 million people. Financially supported by the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA), it aims to reduce SABESP's physical
water loss rate from 26% to 13% by 2019. As the leader of a consortium (70%
share) with the Japanese company CKC, ARCADIS provides program management
services and technical assistance. Activities include supporting SABESP on the
substitution of 840 thousand water connections, 670 km of water networks,1.5
million water meters and leak detection.
"Universal water supply and waste water treatment systems are primary needs,
also in Brazil. More recently water supply has become even more critical due to
the severe drought in the Southeast region of the country," said Manoel Antonio
Avelino, CEO ARCADIS Logos. "With more than a thousand water related studies and
engineering projects in Brazil combined with ARCADIS' global water expertise, we
can contribute to deliver more efficient water solutions and better
infrastructure to SABESP. In doing so we contribute to improving the quality of
life around Brazil and in particular to help SABESP solve the complex challenges
that stem from the needs of the more than 20 million people living in the São
Paulo Metropolitan area."
