AECOM, a global leader in infrastructure consulting, has a rich history intertwined with the pioneering work of Metcalf & Eddy in the field of environmental engineering. Founded in 1990 through the merger of Ashland Technology Corporation and Morrison-Knudsen, AECOM has since grown into a powerhouse, delivering transformative projects that shape the built environment and enhance quality of life around the world.


Metcalf & Eddy, established in 1907 by Allen Hazen and Harrison P. Eddy, laid the foundation for modern environmental engineering practices. Renowned for their groundbreaking contributions to water and wastewater treatment, Metcalf & Eddy quickly became synonymous with innovation and excellence in the field. Their seminal textbook, "Wastewater Engineering: Treatment and Reuse," remains a cornerstone resource for engineers and researchers to this day.


In 2002, AECOM acquired Metcalf & Eddy, recognizing the invaluable expertise and reputation the firm brought to the table. This strategic union brought together two powerhouses in infrastructure and environmental engineering, paving the way for a synergy of talent, resources, and capabilities. With AECOM's global reach and Metcalf & Eddy's specialized knowledge, the partnership unlocked new possibilities for addressing complex environmental challenges on a global scale.


Under AECOM's stewardship, the legacy of Metcalf & Eddy continues to thrive, with a renewed focus on sustainability, innovation, and resilience. Today, AECOM's Environmental Services division leverages the expertise and heritage of Metcalf & Eddy to deliver cutting-edge solutions across a spectrum of environmental challenges, from water resource management to climate change mitigation.


From pioneering breakthroughs in wastewater treatment to shaping the future of sustainable infrastructure, AECOM and Metcalf & Eddy share a commitment to excellence and a passion for making a positive impact on the world. As we look to the future, this enduring partnership remains poised to tackle the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, driving progress and creating lasting value for generations to come.


Boston's Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant: This massive facility, completed in the 1990s, stands as one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the United States. Metcalf & Eddy played a crucial role in its design and construction, implementing advanced treatment processes to protect the delicate marine ecosystems of Boston Harbor. Sewerage Master Plan for Greater Mumbai, India: Metcalf & Eddy undertook the monumental task of developing a comprehensive sewerage master plan for the sprawling metropolis of Mumbai. Their innovative solutions addressed the city's growing sanitation needs and laid the groundwork for modernizing its sewage infrastructure. Cairo Sewerage Improvement Program, Egypt: Recognizing the urgent need to improve sanitation services in Egypt's capital, Metcalf & Eddy spearheaded a multi-phase project to upgrade Cairo's sewerage system. Their expertise in wastewater engineering helped alleviate public health risks and enhance the quality of life for millions of residents. East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) Wastewater Treatment Plant, California: Metcalf & Eddy collaborated with EBMUD to expand and upgrade their wastewater treatment plant, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations while increasing treatment capacity to meet growing demand in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tampa Bay Desalination Plant, Florida: In response to increasing water scarcity in the region, Metcalf & Eddy played a pivotal role in the design and construction of the Tampa Bay Desalination Plant. This state-of-the-art facility utilizes advanced reverse osmosis technology to produce high-quality drinking water from seawater, providing a sustainable solution to the area's water supply challenges.


These projects represent just a fraction of Metcalf & Eddy's extensive portfolio, showcasing their commitment to innovation, sustainability, and improving quality of life through responsible environmental stewardship.


The price was not disclosed.Metcalf & Eddy first won national recognition early in the 1900s, when it pioneered what would become "environmental engineering" through its water and wastewater work. Today, the firm is widely diversified in water and wastewater management, solid and hazardous waste management, remediation, environmental quality, pollution prevention, air pollution control, and institutional strengthening.AeCOM is the holding company for nine engineering and architectural firms, which participate in the transportation, environmental, public facilities and commercial markets worldwide.Edited by Tracy Fabre




H David Stensel is Professor Emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA since 1985. Prior to his academic positions, he worked in practice developing and applying industrial and municipal wastewater treatment processes. He has extensive experience with wastewater treatment technology and biological nutrient removal. His research has included developing process improvements on a number of technologies including biological nutrient removal processes, membrane bioreactors, anaerobic digestion, fixed film processes, onsite nutrient removal systems, and granular activated sludge processes. He has authored or coauthored over 150 technical publications. He has been a coauthor of the more recent 4th (2003) and 5th (2014) editions of the Metcalf and Eddy Wastewater Engineering book, which is a noted reference and authority on wastewater treatment unit processes and design that is used by practicing engineers and for environmental engineering courses. His work has been funded by many federal agencies, utilities and the WE&RF.

This module is aimed at individuals looking to have a deeper understanding of the impacts water has on engineering projects and human health. The module covers water management, water quality, water treatment and wastewater treatment processes and technologies, with applied examples, and the necessary background science to understand them. By the end of the module, you should be able to understand the required environmental chemistry associated to water management, the water quality required for engineering use and the treatment processes available; and gain awareness of some advance topics.




This module aims to provide an understanding of environmental processes associated with water resources management (environmental engineering). The first part of the module aims to provide the required background, covering topics related to chemistry, physical processes and biology in environmental engineering. The second part of the module aims to cover water quality, water treatment and wastewater treatment, as required for use in engineering processes and for human/ecosystem health.



Prior knowledge of engineering processes is desired, but the module is designed as a standalone course and the background theory required is provided in the class textbook. The module is suitable for specialist students advancing on the MSc in Water Management/ Engineering and for any student in a civil and environmental engineering degree. Non-specialist students with an interest in water management can attend, provided they have a scientific background and can understand basic engineering concepts.
