Dear Valued Client:
Subject: AECOM Water
Earlier this year we announced that Boyle Engineering Corporation was acquired by AECOM. As we
become more integrated within the AECOM family, we are looking for ways to better serve our clients, To
that effort, we are pleased to announce that Boyle Engineering Corporation is combining forces with one
of our AECOM sister companies, Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) to form AECOM Water,
Our combined organization will provide you with a more comprehensive suite of services, In addition to
adding technical and management depth in water resources, water, and waste water treatment
capabilities, M&E greatly enhances our ability to offer asset management, program management,
construction management, wet weather, environmental management, design build, energy conservation
and reuse, sustainability, and sE!rvices related to global climate change,
We will continue to provide you with the dedicated people and high-quality service level you've come to
expect but we've also enhanced the services to our clients with a combined staff of 1,800 engineering,
scientist, and support personnel in locations throughout the U,S, With Boyle and Metcalf & Eddy as one
new company, we provide deeper resources for water treatment from reservoirs to distribution and for
wastewater from the point of entry to the sewer system, to the point of discharge. As a stronger team, we
can now analyze watersheds from a total, holistic standpoint, in addition to pinpointing specific water,
wastewater, and wet weather issues,
For now, we will continue to contract with you as Boyle Engineering Corporation, As we begin to merge
operations with Metcalf & Eddy and add additional companies over time, we anticipate establishing
AECOM Water as a legal corporation you would contract with, Becoming AECOM Water will allow us to
operate as a fully integrated organization able to serve all of your water related needs with the simplest
organization possible, This will also allow for development of a smooth path for integrating future firms
into the AECOM Water family,
We truly appreciate the confidence and trust you have developed with Boyle and look forward to serving
you to an even greater degree than in the past.
Yours Sincerely
