Stantec and Jacobs Secure Key Melbourne Water Infrastructure Project

Stantec Inc. and Jacobs Solutions have recently secured a major contract to implement Greater Western Water's five-year infrastructure plan in Melbourne, Australia. This critical program is designed to enhance water and sewer infrastructure, addressing the demands of a rapidly growing population in Melbourne's western region, which is projected to more than double by 2050.

The joint venture will provide a full spectrum of engineering and advisory services. These include comprehensive system design, development of treatment facilities, water resource assessments, and thorough environmental impact analyses. Furthermore, the partnership will extend to offering construction support and developing new operational standards, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the new infrastructure. Both companies emphasize their commitment to improving the reliability and sustainability of the infrastructure, while also proactively adapting to environmental and demographic challenges. The program also incorporates social procurement initiatives, fostering partnerships with Indigenous-owned enterprises and investing in local workforce training to deliver wider community and economic advantages.

Stantec Inc. is renowned for its global expertise in engineering, architecture, environmental consulting, and design across various sectors, including extensive experience in water infrastructure management, ranging from potable water systems to wastewater treatment, flood control, and water resource management projects worldwide. Through this project, Stantec and Jacobs are not only constructing vital infrastructure but also building a foundation for a more resilient and equitable future for Melbourne's growing communities.
