Aecom elected by New York City Department of Environmental Protection

AECOM announced it is one of the firms that has been selected by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, or NYCDEP, to provide design services for the City’s cloudburst management program, alleviating nuisance flooding events in at-risk areas. Under this seven-year task-order program, AECOM will implement multi-benefit, integrated, flood risk reduction systems that manage stormwater during wet weather events to improve public spaces, reduce impacts to the natural environment, and bolster the resilience of social, environmental, and economic systems. Cloudburst management involves the design and implementation of multiple, integrated elements to absorb, store and/or transfer stormwater in a specific geographical location or neighborhood.
