ECOM is one of the largest consulting companies in the world, and works with major companies and municipalities to design, finance, build, and operate transportation, water, and energy infrastructure. Its immense spectrum of activities means that it can often find innovative solutions to big problems by integrating solutions from a number of its divisions. For example, by colocating and integrating solid waste, wastewater, and energy recovery services, it can create smaller and more efficient facilities. It is involved in projects of this nature from New York to Hong Kong and Singapore. In this interview, AECOM Senior Vice Presidents Beverley Stinson and Paul Storella tell Municipal Water Leader about how the company is pushing progress by finding new ways to use proven technologies and by integrating its various services.
