MONTREAL, Sept. 28,
2023 /CNW/ -AtkinsRéalis [SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.]
(TSX: ATRL), a fully integrated professional services and project
management company with offices around the world, announces today
it has won a design and support contract with the Central
Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) for a state road extension near
Orlando.
"Modernizing transport infrastructure by using innovative design
and building techniques is one way we leverage our expertise to
support the communities served by safe and efficient roadways, and
it is also how we deliver projects to clients on time and on
budget," said Ian L. Edwards,
President and Chief Executive Officer, AtkinsRéalis.
Under the 6.5-year $21M US
Design-Bid-Build contract, AtkinsRéalis will design an elevated
4.5-kilometer four-lane toll road above the median of the existing
roadway. Design innovations and accelerated bridge
construction techniques implemented by AtkinsRéalis created
substantive construction cost savings for CFX on the 58-span
elevated expressway. Additionally, 3D modeling, and renderings
created by AtkinsRéalis' Global Technology Center (GTC) streamlines
the construction schedule and reduces the project's carbon
footprint. The new roadway will provide congestion relief along the
heavily traveled corridor.
"Our data driven approach to design and scheduling, guided by
our highly skilled people and their innovative ideas, led the
winning selection," said Steve
Morriss, President, Engineering Services, U.S.,
AtkinsRéalis. "Our specialized expertise combined with leading edge
industry technology enables us to provide our clients with
exceptional engineering analysis and value."
Using AtkinsRéalis' Global Design Framework, up to 200 staff
members will collaborate on the project providing world-class
design for CFX's largest project in its five-year work program.
