Chris Williams, senior vice president of Stantec’s US federal programme, said: “Water and wastewater treatment affects communities around the world, and as the population continues to grow, so too does the need for innovative thinking in the industry.
“For more than 60 years, we’ve provided USACE with the highest quality design and engineering services globally. We’re proud to support the Corps’ WWTCX in its mission to deliver clean water at home and abroad.”
