Around the globe, countries are growing; populations are expanding, cities are extending their sprawl, and resources are consumed at increasing rates. Nowhere else is this more apparent than in Asia the worlds fastest evolving region, where rapid socio-economic developments have resulted in a dramatic increase in waste production every year. Tackling this waste is essential. Left unmanaged, household, commercial and industrial waste can pollute our land, contaminate our water, foul our air and facilitate the spread of disease. Waste, and more specifically, its final destination, is often considered a controversial topic. Managing waste is not an easy task, encompassing issues from the generation of waste to its final disposal which includes collection, transport, processing, treatment, recycling, disposal, monitoring, and public awareness. Waste management infrastructure needs to be effectively managed especially in urban areas of Asias cities, which are amongst the most densely populated in the world, and the rural regions often lack significant means to ensure proper waste treatment and disposal. By approaching the challenge from an integrated perspective, AECOM can help to mitigate the sustainability issues associated with rapid development and contribute in safeguarding our environmental resources for the future.

Waste-to-Energy Facilities AECOM supports clients in the development of technically sound designs for waste-to-energy facilities that reduces energy consumption and emissions of pollutants. Different options of engineering design are considered, as well as to navigate environmental regulations and formulate public involvement plans. Our vast experience with sophisticated incineration and anaerobic digestion system designs means that clients receive value-focused and easy-to-operate systems, with demonstrated equipment and technologies.
Waste Transfer Stations The waste transfer station is an important component in any efficient waste management system. AECOM has extensive experience in planning, design, and construction of some of the worlds largest strategic transfer stations.
Landfill Design Services Many factors affect landfill site selection and design approaches, including land use compatibility, wetland impacts, regulatory permitting requirements and community interaction. AECOM works closely with our clients to help make the best decision possible when selecting a design approach. Our complete scope of services includes site investigations; permit modification; linear and cap design; leachate collection and removal system; phased construction and operational sequencing; operating and reporting plans; gas management; surface water management; closure plans; financial assurance estimates; and end use plans.
Material Recovery Facilities AECOMs resource recovery service is to help clients develop solutions in dealing with solid waste that are environmentally sound and economically viable. Our past experience has provided us the opportunity to develop systems ranging from target segments of the waste stream, such as food and yard waste composting to fully integrated systems, such as Materials Recovery Facilities (MRF) or Transfer Facilities that receives, separates and prepares recyclable materials for marketing to end-user manufacturers. In addition, we assess the merits and cost effectiveness of various resource recovery options as an alternative to land disposal.
Integrated Waste Management Planning AECOM has extensive experience working with government agencies to address areas of solid waste management planning. In determining planning directions, we address types of waste and the quantity, commodity pricing and disposal practices. Regulatory agency requirements, alternative plans, and cost-effective analyses of the alternatives are also included as influential factors. As a result, the client receives a comprehensive waste management plan. The success of any solid waste management and recycling program is linked directly to the communitys level of acceptance and participation. AECOM has helped to create strong and credible community relations programs which pave the way for success by fostering a two-way communication between municipal officials and local citizens.
Transaction Advisory Services AECOM provides a professional transaction advisory service in supporting potential investments in the waste treatment and waste to energy businesses. We believe there is high potential for green investment in Asia, and in many of the waste treatment industries they are still at relatively early stages of the lifecycles and can offer investors a high-yield in investment opportunities. We advise on whether the target facilities operational performance can reach its targeted productivity or efficiency, while reducing costs, energy consumption, pollution and waste. Our scope of services includes: Assessment of the risks and opportunities of the target investment Comprehensive studies on operational and technical capability Comprehensive review of the companys business plan Projected market conditions and the industry/competition
The study comprised an overall investigation of technical feasibility, preliminary design, site selection, and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of a proposed 3,000-tonne-per-day (tpd) municipal waste treatment facility. The Phase 1 of IWMF would be designed to include an advanced thermal incineration plant of 2,800 tpd equipped with energy recovery capabilities together with a sorting/recycling plant of 200 tpd.
The collected source-segregated organic waste (a capacity of 200 tpd), will be treated by means of anaerobic digestion followed by a composting process for the production of compost, while the biogas generated from the anaerobic digestion process will be used for generation of electricity. AECOMs scope of services under this project included: i) Engineering feasibility and environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies; ii) Tender document preparation and tender evaluation; and iii) Contract documents preparation.
Development of an Incineration Bottom Ash (IBA) Recycling Plant based on the DBOO Scheme
Location: Singapore Client: National Environment Agency
Disposal Facility Design for the South East New Territories (SENT) Landfill
Location: Hong Kong Client: Green Valley Landfill Ltd.
The project was to conduct a comprehensive cost benefit analysis (CBA) study on incinerator bottom ash (IBA) recycling, structure the regulatory and quality regime(s) and prepare a contract for a private sector company to develop an incinerator bottom ash (IBA) recycling plant based on a design-build-own-operate (DBOO) scheme. A key scope of study was to structure and propose a take-or-pay or other financial arrangement to ensure that the DBOO scheme addresses all of the Governments needs while remaining attractive to investors and bidders.
AECOM developed process detail design, equipment specifications and procurement assistance for a landfill leachate treatment system and air pollution control equipment for the contractor in Hong Kong. To cope with the corrosion/humidity concerns of a sub-tropical environment, AECOM designed a leachate treatment system which could handle high leachate generation rates and provided extensive training to ensure local operators could operate the highly automated facility.
AECOM was appointed by the client to provide engineering design services for various municipal solid waste landfills in China. Key services include: i) Site investigation; ii) Preliminary design of the landfill; iii) Airspace and material balance calculations; iv) Construction level drawings; and v) Construction assistance.
