AtkinsRéalis awarded PSA for Miami-Dade (U.S.) Waste-to-Energy plant

AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. announced that it has been awarded a professional services agreement (PSA) to provide professional and owners 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 tpd of waste, the project will create the largest WtE facilityi in the U.S.  

 

“Efficiently repurposing waste is a critical component of a successful transition to net-zero,” said Ian L. Edwards, President and Chief Executive Officer, AtkinsRéalis. “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-MM contract, AtkinsRéalis 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 US.

 

“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, U.S., Latin America, and Minerals & Metals, AtkinsRéalis. “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.”  

 

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