AECOM, the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, announced a new partnership with EarthSoft, a global leader in environmental data management software (EDMS), to combine AECOM’s deep environmental industry expertise in remediation with EarthSoft’s best-in-class software. The integration of PlanEngage®, AECOM’s interactive project and stakeholder engagement platform, with EQuIS™, EarthSoft’s environmental and geotechnical data platform, will help better unify and visualize complex environmental data, improving decision-making and fostering greater stakeholder alignment on remediation projects.
“As communities face new remediation challenges, there’s an unprecedented opportunity for project teams to leverage ever-greater quantities of data to sharpen their decision-making,” said Todd Battley, AECOM’s chief strategy officer. “We look forward to combining our industry-leading digital and environmental capabilities with EarthSoft’s data management expertise to give project teams, stakeholders, and the public new insights into the design and delivery of major remediation programs.”
The integration of PlanEngage and EQuIS will not only help streamline remediation processes but elevate environmental compliance and sustainable best practices. Through enhanced data visualization, it will enable a timely and comprehensive flow of information to regulatory agencies and inform communities on measures taken to ensure public health and safety.
