Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) has been selected by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to provide construction management services for the Newtown Creek Combined Sewer Overflow Storage Tunnel project. The company will work as part of Newtown Creek CSO Partners, a joint venture with AECOM and EPC Consultants Inc.

The 16-year program involves constructing approximately 3.25 miles of tunnel and related facilities across Brooklyn and Queens. The project aims to capture and store excess combined sewer flows during storm events to reduce untreated sewer discharges into local waterways.

Parsons will provide construction management services for the large-diameter storage tunnel, tunnel dewatering pump station, and other structures. The company will use the DEP's Construction Management Information System, which Parsons previously helped develop and deploy.

"Parsons brings decades of experience delivering complex tunnel and water infrastructure programs that improve environmental outcomes and strengthen community resilience," said Mark Fialkowski, president of Infrastructure North America for Parsons.

The project is designed to improve water quality and protect public health in surrounding communities. Once operational, the system will reduce environmental impacts during storm events and support long-term sustainability goals.

Parsons has previously worked on other New York City DEP projects, including the Rondout-West Branch Bypass Tunnel, Kensico-Eastview Connection Tunnel, and Catskill Aqueduct Repair and Rehabilitation projects. The company reports having completed more than 250 tunnels and ocean outfalls worldwide.

The information was announced in a press release statement from Parsons Corporation.
