Alternative Project Delivery - Water/Wastewater
Water and wastewater project owners and managers face increasing economic pressure, making alternative project delivery (APD) methods a prudent and cost-effective option. Advanced APD methods, perfected by ARCADIS' years of experience in tailoring solutions to fit client's needs and budgets, deliver projects faster and more economically. We apply our local knowledge with international experiences to select the most appropriate delivery method to fit the specific needs of our clients and their projects.
We are distinguished by not only providing a suite of flexible APD options, but also by crafting APD methods specifically for water and wastewater clients.
ARCADIS can work in conjunction with owners, constructors and financers to implement proven APD approaches, including:
- Design-Build (DB)
- Design-Build-Operate (DBO)
- Design-Build-Operate-Finance (DBOF)
- Public-private partnerships (P3s)
- Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC)
- Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM)
- Construction Management at Risk (CMAR), with the option of a guaranteed maximum price (GMAX) to the project owner
ARCADIS' APD services for water/wastewater include:
- Small-value DB projects such as small-membrane water treatment plants, odor control systems and pipeline projects
- Larger value water/wastewater DB, DBO and DBOF projects serving as the owner's agent
- Engineering subconsultant to the entity responsible for project delivery on DB and EPC projects
Managing risk while cutting costs
To implement ADP for clients, we analyze and understand the initial design criteria, formulate a management plan, and utilize our thorough QA/QC process at major project milestones.
As a large, international provider of engineering and design services, ARCADIS has gained valuable expertise in all the areas needed to build effective APD relationships-making ARCADIS an excellent choice for an agile, proven project partner.
