Arcadis selected for Northern Gulf of California desalination appraisal study.

Arcadis selected for Northern Gulf of California desalination appraisal study. Nov 02, 2026, 08:00 ET Study to assess desalination's potential to make up to 500,000 acre-feet of water available for the region PHOENIX, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Arcadis (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets, today announced that it will serve as the lead engineering firm supporting the study of the proposed Northern Gulf of California Desalination Project concept. Working alongside Sacyr Water and the wider project team, Arcadis will provide engineering and technical analysis to support the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) during the multi-stage appraisal process. WIFA's Board of Directors has approved Stage 1. Arizona continues to evaluate opportunities to diversify long-term water supply for the region. WIFA's appraisal process is designed to evaluate potential new water sources and determine their technical, financial, environmental, cultural, and regulatory viability. Stage 1 authorizes the initial analysis and does not represent a decision regarding project development or future funding, which WIFA will evaluate separately based on the results of the appraisal. The appraisal study will explore the viability of a desalination facility and associated conveyance infrastructure that would ultimately make up to 500,000 acre-feet of water supply. A distinctive element of the proposed concept is the evaluation of geothermal energy as a potential renewable energy source for the desalination and conveyance system. The study is structured across six tasks: project management; technical evaluations; environmental and cultural evaluations; regulatory and contractual evaluations; society and community evaluations; and cost, financial and commercial evaluations. Arcadis leads the technical, environmental, and regulatory evaluation work and contributes to the other elements of the appraisal alongside the broader project team. Heather Polinsky, CEO, Arcadis said: "Reliable, resilient water supplies are essential for Arizona's communities, now and for generations to come. This appraisal will give WIFA the technical information it needs to assess whether desalination, supported by renewable energy, could strengthen the region's long-term water security. With the potential to make up to 500,000 acre-feet of water available, the concept deserves careful examination. Working alongside Sacyr Water, we bring together Arcadis' expertise in water, desalination, infrastructure and renewable energy to help WIFA understand what is possible and make informed decisions about the region's future water supply."

Through the joint venture, the team will design and engineer the terminal infrastructure required for the new facility to operate, which includes all buildings, the container yard, rail yard, utilities, and truck gates. "The Contrecœur Container Terminal is an exciting project, marking a major investment in Canada's trade infrastructure and an important step in expanding capacity at one of the country's key trade gateways," said Kevin Karaloff, Business Unit Leader, Ports and Marine, Arcadis. "This project will help strengthen supply chains, improve connectivity, and support long-term economic growth well beyond the Port of Montréal. We're proud to continue our relationship with DP World in Canada, bringing together our global port and marine experience with local engineering expertise to help deliver this landmark project." "The Contrecœur Container Terminal sits at the intersection of two strategic priorities for Egis: serving our key international clients and supporting the development of critical infrastructure in Canada's fastest-growing markets." said Jean Steenhouwer, Chief Commercial Officer, Egis in Americas. "Working alongside DP World, the Port of Montréal and our partners, we are proud to contribute to a landmark project that will reshape Canada's eastern trade gateway, strengthen national supply chains and deliver long-term value for the Canadian economy." Arcadis will lead the environmental assessment, geotechnical engineering, electrical engineering, rail infrastructure, and design of the container terminal's primary operational and administrative buildings. Egis will lead the design and engineering of the terminal's utility buildings, civil utilities, crane rails, pavements, and truck gate infrastructure. Moffatt & Nichol, acting as a subconsultant to the joint venture, will provide terminal planning and operational specifications services to determine the terminal's layout and optimize terminal operations. According to the Government of Canada, this flagship, nation-building project will support approximately 4,000 jobs annually during construction and generate an estimated $750 million in annual economic benefits once operational, strengthening supply chain resilience across Canada. In alignment with the Major Projects Office designation of the project as a project of national interest, the federal government has committed $1.16 billion in funding through the Canada Infrastructure Bank. The announcement expands on work Egis and Arcadis are already completing for the Montréal Port Authority and DP World. Both organizations bring experience fulfilling leadership roles in the planning, design, and engineering of marine and landside port infrastructure locally and globally through current and completed projects such as the Port of Calais in France, Contrecoeur Terminal Expansion Marine Works, and the Westport Program in Australia. The award of the land-based work follows the start of marine infrastructure construction, which is being managed by the Montréal Port Authority and began in April 2026.
