AECOM launches new brand in Vietnam

The launch in Vietnam aims to announce worldwide consolidated AECOM operations, encompassing previous operating companies such as Maunsell, Metcalf and Eddy, ENSR, among others.

During the event, AECOM’s senior leaders will share more about how the company utilised its global resources and local delivery platform to deliver an integrated, one-stop service to its clients.

Peter Lee, senior vice president, Southeast Asia of AECOM, said, “There is a lot of potential in Vietnam for us to work with various institutions and government departments to enhance and sustain its built, natural and social environments.

Our goal is to provide an integrated, one-stop service to clients, leveraging on our very strong and diversified global knowledge and local delivery platform. It is our mission to add value to our clients’ business by becoming their true and reliable partner.”

While works are being carried out to improve the infrastructure and living conditions in Vietnam, AECOM realises urbanisation will also bring with it problems such as rising carbon footprint. In an effort to help build a sustainable future for the next generation, AECOM has also been actively pushing for green features in its projects.

Some of these environmental-friendly projects include the new academic facility for the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York, the United States, as well as Asia Square in Singapore.

AECOM has been engaged by agencies and institutions to better the living and working conditions in Vietnam as early as 1992. Completed in 2004, the Song Ba Ha Hydropower project, 60km to the west of Tuy Hoa town, is the multi-purpose one with the primary function of power generation, flood control and water supply.

The Saigon East-West Highway, which passes through six districts, makes daily commute a breeze. The design of masterplans for various resorts such as the Danang Integrated Beach and Golf Resort and Nha Trang Resort has given the tourism industry a much needed jab in the arm.

In a recent project commissioned by the World Bank, AECOM is looking into reducing Vietnam’s vulnerability to climate changes.
