↑ 0%Mumbai: BMC proposes 12-month IIT Bombay study of Powai Lake ahead of desilting; ₹1.85-Crore promenade plan. The BMC has proposed a 12-month IIT Bombay study to assess Powai Lake's water quality and determine a suitable desilting method before restoration. AECOM has also been appointed to prepare a Rs 1.85-crore promenade master plan, while all 18 sewage outfalls are scheduled to be intercepted from October 1. FPJ News Service Updated: Tuesday, September 29, 2026, 09:58 PM IST Powai Lake is set for scientific water-quality assessment and a master plan for redevelopment of its long-awaited promenade | AI Generated File Image Mumbai, September 29, 2026: The BMC has proposed a 12-month study by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay to assess Powai Lake's water quality ahead of ecological restoration and desilting. IIT Bombay researcher Prof. Anurag Garg will conduct the feasibility study, recommend the most suitable desilting method and prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR). Prof. Garg, a researcher with IIT Bombay's Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, has expertise in waste management, wastewater treatment and resource recovery. His expertise will be used to assess the lake's water quality, support biodiversity conservation and plan the desilting process. Garg's appointment will provide scientific and technical inputs for the lake's proposed revival, according to the proposal submitted by the BMC administration to the Standing Committee. FPJ Shorts Water Quality Assessment Planned The study will collect 32 water samples; two each from 12 locations in the lake and six sewage outfalls. The samples will be tested for pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, coliform and heavy metals. It will also assess the environmental impact of desilting, including the risk of pollutants being released back into the water. Seasonal variations in water quality, sewage inflows and the most suitable desilting method will be assessed before the restoration plan is finalised. The project will be funded through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), with IIT Bombay seeking an advance payment of Rs 62 lakh. The proposal is currently before the Standing Committee for approval. Spread across 223 hectares, with a 6.61-sq-km catchment area, Powai Lake is one of Mumbai's prominent urban water bodies. Promenade Redevelopment Plan The BMC has appointed AECOM Asia Company Limited to prepare a master plan for the long-awaited redevelopment of the Powai Lake promenade at a consultancy cost of Rs 1.85 crore. The plan envisages holistic redevelopment of the lake and promenade, with scope for future recreational facilities. The lake will stop receiving sewage from October 1, after all 18 sewage outfalls are intercepted. The redevelopment could also introduce ticketed access, as the state government has asked the BMC to develop a financially self-sustaining model for the popular public space, said a civic official. Also Watch: AECOM was selected for its expertise in major infrastructure projects, including the Coastal Road. IIT Bombay and the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) will provide technical guidance for the lake's restoration, the official added.

Prairie Link welcomes referral of Alberta High-Speed Rail to the Major Projects Office. Prairie Link's seven-station proposal would connect downtown Calgary and Edmonton through Airdrie, Red Deer and both international airports. Calgary, AB, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Prairie Link High Speed Rail Partners welcomes the referral of Alberta's High-Speed Rail transformative strategy to the federal Major Projects Office. The referral regarding the Calgary-Red Deer-Edmonton high-speed rail corridor was announced by the Honourable Eleanor Olszewski, Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada, on behalf of Minister of Transport Steven MacKinnon, alongside Premier Danielle Smith and Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors. Prairie Link has been developing its proposal since 2021 through engineering, ridership and financial analysis. Its partnership brings together Indigenous equity ownership and the capital, design, engineering, construction, development and operating expertise needed to deliver high-speed rail. The proposal is being advanced with an investment framework designed to attract private capital and align with Alberta's requirement that the project proceed with minimal provincial taxpayer funding. The roughly 295-kilometre route would connect downtown Calgary and downtown Edmonton via Red Deer, with seven stations at downtown Calgary, Calgary International Airport, Airdrie, Red Deer, Edmonton International Airport, south Edmonton and downtown Edmonton. Trains travelling at more than 300 kilometres per hour would make the downtown-to-downtown trip in about 90 minutes, compared with three hours or more by car. The proposed route, stations and commuter services align with Alberta's Passenger Rail Master Plan. "This is great news for Albertans and for Canada," said Joey Comeau, President, EllisDon Capital Services, on behalf of Prairie Link. "Premier Smith and Minister Dreeshen have shown real leadership in moving high-speed rail forward, and with the federal government now working alongside Alberta, this project has the momentum it needs. Prairie Link is ready, and we look forward to working with both governments to bring high-speed rail to Albertans." Premier Smith and Minister Dreeshen's Passenger Rail Master Plan set out a clear, phased vision for passenger rail in Alberta. Federal Minister of Transport Steven MacKinnon and Transport Canada are working alongside the province to advance that vision. Prairie Link is co-owned and co-led by CGC Infrastructure Holdings Ltd., an infrastructure holding company of Chiniki First Nation ("CGC Infrastructure"), EllisDon and AECOM. The partners bring nation-leading expertise in capital, design, engineering, construction management, development and operations. CGC Infrastructure, an equity and pre-development partner, supports economic reconciliation through ownership, partnership and participation. EllisDon is an employee-owned global construction services and technology company. AECOM is a global infrastructure leader recognized by ReNew Canada in 2026 for its participation in 38 of the country's Top 100 infrastructure projects. "Yesterday's announcement is an important step forward for high-speed rail in Alberta," said Paul Bassi, SVP, AECOM. "AECOM is proud to be part of the Prairie Link partnership and bring our experience delivering major transportation projects to this effort. We look forward to working with our partners and governments to help move this project forward and bring high-speed rail to Albertans." "This great Province and Nation building initiative holds massive potential to unlock economic opportunities for the Indigenous peoples in Alberta," said Chief Aaron Young, Chair of CGC Infrastructure, on behalf of Prairie Link. "Ensuring equity participation of Indigenous peoples from day one is meaningful and greatly increases the prospects of successful project delivery. Prairie Link looks forward to ensuring participation and maximizing opportunities for Indigenous peoples throughout Alberta." The Calgary-Red Deer-Edmonton corridor is home to about 80 per cent of Alberta's population, which is expected to double over the next six decades. Advancing Prairie Link represents significant direct and indirect investment in the province. High-speed rail would ease pressure on the QEII, Alberta's busiest highway, which carries 80,000 to 90,000 vehicles daily on its busiest stretch. Faster travel would expand access to jobs and talent across the corridor, seven station districts would create room for new homes near fast transit, and electric trains would offer a cleaner way to travel between the two cities. "This is a generational investment that reflects a long-term vision for Albertans. The opportunities created through this project will extend far beyond its immediate economic impact, helping to build prosperity, strengthen our community, and create a lasting legacy for future generations," said Comeau. Prairie Link would extend the benefits of high-speed rail to Western Canada and complement the federal government's national high-speed rail agenda. "Albertans have been talking about high-speed rail between Calgary and Edmonton since the 1980s," added Comeau. "With federal and provincial governments now aligned on the corridor, and a proven team already in place, there has never been a better moment to get it built." About Prairie Link High Speed Rail Prairie Link High Speed Rail Partners is a partnership between CGC Infrastructure Holdings Ltd., an infrastructure holding company of Chiniki First Nation, EllisDon and AECOM, together nation-leading experts in capital, design, engineering, construction management, development and operations. The partnership is developing high-speed passenger rail between Calgary and Edmonton, a project in development since 2021. www.prairielink.ca MEDIA CONTACT Dustin Luchka Vice President, Marketing & Communications EllisDon Corporation

Design team picked for new Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre. | News Team - Thursday, September 24, 2026 | Hounslow Council has appointed AECOM, working with FaulknerBrowns Architects, to take forward plans for a new Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre. The team will now develop the design and carry out the technical and planning work needed for the proposed redevelopment of the site. The appointment marks an important step in plans to replace the existing centre, which has served the local community since 1987. Emerging proposals for the new centre include modern swimming pools with moveable floors, interactive water-play facilities, a larger gym, sports hall, fitness studios, improved changing facilities and new family and community spaces. The new centre will be developed with residents, schools and community groups. A second round of engagement is planned for October and November, giving local people the opportunity to respond to the emerging proposals and help shape aspects of the design and user experience. This builds on engagement in 2024-25, when more than 900 people shared their views on what they would like to see from a new leisure centre. Swimming, accessible fitness facilities and family-friendly spaces were consistently highlighted as priorities, and that feedback is now helping to shape the developing proposals. As part of the wider redevelopment, the proposals also include new homes and improved public realm. The residential element will contribute towards the cost of delivering the new leisure centre and reduce the amount the council would otherwise need to borrow. In the meantime, Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre remains open as normal, with no closure date yet set. Councillor Tom Bruce, Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development at Hounslow Council, said: "Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre has served the community for nearly 40 years - I have visited frequently, both as a child and more recently with my own family. But the building is ageing and no longer fit for purpose. We now have an opportunity to create a modern leisure centre that meets the growing requirements of the area. "Local people have already told us what matters most to them in a new centre, and have given us plenty to consider. As we move into the next stage, we'll continue working with everyone to make sure we get this right. Brentford is already a fantastic place, and it's vital that the investments we're making deliver real benefits for local people." Councillor Salmon Shaheen, Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and Public Realm, added: "Good local leisure facilities make a real difference to people's health and wellbeing, whether that's learning to swim, keeping fit or being active with family and friends. "We want the new Brentford Fountain to be a place everyone can use and enjoy. Residents have told us what matters to them and, as the plans develop, we'll keep listening to make sure those priorities are reflected in the new centre."

AECOM shares have fallen 30% over the past six months, underperforming the S&P 500's 16% gain and its industry peers. The infrastructure consulting firm faces significant near-term challenges, including a $337 million charge in its Construction Management business due to subcontractor productivity issues and project delays. Operating cash flow dropped to $169.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2026 from $625.5 million the previous year. The company now expects full-year free cash flow of approximately $300 million, with pressures continuing through the first half of fiscal 2027. Despite these headwinds, AECOM's backlog reached a record $27.8 billion, up 13%, supported by strong demand across transportation, water, energy and data centres. However, fiscal 2026 earnings estimates have declined to $4.48 per share, representing a 14.8% year-over-year decrease, before an expected 33.7% rebound in fiscal 2027.
