ATKINSREALIS AWARDED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR MIAMI-DADE WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT

Atkinsrealis Group Inc. has been awarded a professional services agreement (PSA) to provide professional and owner engineering services to Miami-Dade Department of Solid Waste Management for its new state-of-the-art waste-to-energy (WTE) plant. Capable of processing 4,000 tonnes of waste per day, the project will create the largest WTE facility in the United States.

"Efficiently repurposing waste is a critical component of a successful transition to net zero," said Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer of Atkinsrealis. "We can make a greater impact by advising clients on their energy transition journey with our engineering net-zero strategic planning and implementation approach, which enables us to help support a cleaner and more sustainable future."

Under the 10-year, $65-million (U.S.) contract, Atkinsrealis will provide design criteria, consulting, advisory and environmental services prior to construction. The company will also supervise construction and administer quality control support to Miami-Dade County. WTE plants incinerate waste and generate heat, which is used to power a turbine generator, creating electricity and other alternative fuels. Only one new WTE facility has been constructed during the last 20 years in the United States.

"We have established a proven track record as Miami-Dade's trusted owners' representative on numerous engineering projects benefiting the community over the last 60 years," said Steve Morriss, president, United States, Latin America, and minerals and metals, Atkinsrealis. "We're perfectly positioned to continue to support our long-standing client with the development of a green mixed-use industrial campus that creates renewable energy while solving the county's growing waste challenges and opening the door for similar U.S.-based projects in the future."

Atkinsrealis has delivered 23 alternative fuel projects in North America since 1982, including three in Florida.
