ARNHEM, THE NETHERLANDS — May 23, 2007 — ARCADIS (NASDAQ: ARCAF, EURONEXT: ARCAD), the international consulting and engineering company, has been awarded contracts valued in total at more than $48 million to perform sediment remediation and management as well as ecological restoration at four locations across the United States. ARCADIS was selected based on the strength of its capabilities in the fields of site investigation, sediment remediation and management, ecological and riverine restoration, and construction management.
The projects, which are located at sites in California, Texas and the upper Midwest, will be performed for ARCADIS industrial clients and related groups of possible responsible parties. The majority of the work will be completed this year, with some work extending into 2008.
“ARCADIS was selected because of its integrated package of internationally recognized scientific and engineering expertise and its demonstrated track record of completing similar large-scale environmental projects safely, on schedule and within budget,” stated Ed Lynch, president of ARCADIS BBL. “In addition, ARCADIS has been contracted by one of the clients for the investigative and regulatory negotiation stage of a high-profile sediment site in Europe, which demonstrates the client’s confidence in our global capabilities.”
