Architecture and infrastructure consulting firm AECOM is to provide environmental restoration and compliance services to NASA facilities across the U.S. The five-year contract will see AECOM deliver environmental sampling, contaminants investigations, and human, health, and ecological risk assessments to NASA’s U.S. facilities.
“We are proud to continue building on our 60-year history of successfully serving NASA by leveraging our environmental restoration and compliance expertise, actively advancing our purpose to deliver a better world for the next generation,” said Frank Sweet, chief executive of AECOM’s global Environment business, in a statement. “The management and remediation of hazardous materials, such as PFAS and other substances, continues to be a key priority for our teams and our clients, and we look forward to our continued partnership with NASA on this shared mission.”
AECOM was recently linked to the construction of the Obama Presidential Center Programs & Athletics Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park, which is scheduled to break ground this month. The firm also recently completed work on the new Terminal E expansion at Boston Logan International Airport.
Meanwhile, NASA recently began testing autonomous construction robots for future use in outer space while separately collaborating with Louisiana State University to develop waterless concrete for 3D printing on the Moon. Last year, NASA also unveiled plans for a $2 billion Berkeley Space Center.
