AECOM has been selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for environmental restoration projects at sites across the U.S., the company announced this week.
Under this five-year contract, AECOM will complete environmental restoration activities including environmental sampling; investigations of potential environmental contaminants; human, health, and ecological risk assessments; and remediation activities.
“Our team of experts continue to be partners of choice for federal clients like NASA,” said Karl Jensen, executive vice president of AECOM’s National Governments business. “AECOM’s specialized experience and full suite of services will allow our teams to quickly respond and deliver at each NASA Center and facility to enhance the agency’s mission to drive advances in science, technology, and exploration to enhance knowledge, education, innovation, economic vitality, and stewardship of Earth.”
The NERCC will also serve as the primary contracting vehicle for NASA’s PFAS-related investigation and remediation efforts.
With more than two decades of PFAS experience at more than 500 sites globally, AECOM is well positioned to support NASA’s PFAS initiatives. The contract also covers compliance and sustainability services across NASA facilities that include pollution prevention, recycling and hazardous materials management.
“We are proud to continue building on our 60-year history of successfully serving NASA by leveraging our environmental restoration and compliance expertise, actively advancing our purpose to deliver a better world for the next generation,” said Frank Sweet, chief executive of AECOM’s global Environment business. “The management and remediation of hazardous materials, such as PFAS and other substances, continues to be a key priority for our teams and our clients, and we look forward to our continued partnership with NASA on this shared mission.”
