AECOM Enterprises/DMJM+HARRIS
Who we are
AECOM Enterprises/DMJM+HARRIS (AECOM) is the lead firm developing and implementing York Region's rapid transit plan, with responsibility for overall project management and the provision of transportation planning and engineering services. AECOM is the creative project development, delivery and finance arm of AECOM Technology Inc., a 16,000-employee company, described by Engineering News Record as the largest transportation firm in the world.
Indicative of AECOM's expertise in the transportation sector, senior AECOM personnel have been instrumental in assisting the United States Department of Transportation in developing a planning and project development process for major rapid transit projects that has been emulated all over the world. At its root is the notion that there are many ways to provide high quality, high performance, rapid transit and that the key to achieving consensus on a rapid transit solution in a given corridor is objective, unbiased transportation planning. No planning and project development approach is more suited to York Region.
AECOM's President, Frank Wilson brings to York Region his extensive design-build mega-project experience as a "client." As General Manager of the Bay Area Transit heavy rail system, he directed the development and implementation of a multi-billion dollar system expansion program. As Commissioner of Transportation for the State of New Jersey, he directed development and implementation of the $1+ billion Hudson-Bergen Light Rail System.
DMJM+HARRIS, one of AECOM's ten operating companies, has completed major transit projects all over the world. Projects in Canada include construction management and architectural services for Vancouver's Skytrain and ground access planning and engineering services for the Toronto Airport Authority.
AECOM companies have been involved in innumerable planning and project development studies for clients all over the United States and abroad, including major investment studies in Miami's Kendall Corridor, the Canal Street light rapid transit project in New Orleans, and, in partnership with IBI, in Beirut's Northern Corridor.
AECOM firms are world leaders in bus rapid transit (BRT). DMJM+HARRIS designed and built the first U.S. busway, the El Monte in Los Angeles, and is currently managing the preparation of BRT planning and implementation guidelines for the U.S. Transportation Research Board. AECOM's Australian operating firm, Maunsell Australia, played a key role in planning and engineering for the wildly successful SE Busway in Brisbane and is currently assisting in the design of the Western Suburbs Busway in Sydney. Oscar Faber, another AECOM Company based in England, played a key planning role in BRT projects in Leeds and London.
AECOM is a senior partner in "Capital Transit Consultants (CTC)," a joint venture providing a full array of planning, engineering and construction services to the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority. CTC is currently completing preliminary engineering and environmental assessment/documentation for the Dulles Corridor Rapid Transit project, a project that will feature a BRT package incrementally upgraded over time to a fully grade separated Metrorail extension.

Los Angeles Metro System Red, Green and Blue Lines |
| Client: |
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority |
| Duration: |
1981-2015 |
| Construction Cost: |
$5 billion |
| DMJM+HARRIS Role: |
GEC and Construction Management Services |
Project Description:
|
DMJM+HARRIS, in joint venture, provided engineering management consultant services for development of the Los Angeles Metro system. DMJM+HARRIS has delivered a complete range of planning, design, design management, procurement assistance, and construction support services. DMJM+HARRIS developed design criteria for the entire system, completed specific design contracts for engineering and architectural elements (including in-house design of all systems and systemwide facilities), managed selection of section designers, managed design activities, reviewed all designs for functional and safety considerations, and developed the total contract packages for each contracted portion of the project, including drawings and specifications. Construction services included review of contractor submittals, responding to field-generated requests for information, and generating design changes as required.
DMJM+HARRIS helped meet the challenge of constructing a heavy-rail subway system in a heavily congested urban area. One example, the 7th Street/Metro Center Station included a station entrance in the Roosevelt Building, an old downtown structure. A fully accessible and functional entrance was designed and constructed, working within the confines of the building's structural frame. The project had to be constructed while the building was in daily use, so the construction contract was developed to minimize disruption of tenant activities. These requirements included selective demolition and excavation, support of the existing building utilities, and stringent settlement monitoring. The building's structural frame was modified to incorporate the new entrance. Environmental assessment and mitigation measures were necessary because of the presence of asbestos-containing materials and abandoned buried fuel oil tanks.
