PETE TUNNICLIFFE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF WATER DESIGN-BUILD COUNCIL |
- Leading industry expert brings vision and urgency to a new era of Design-Build solutions - |
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Jan. 8 -/E-Wire/-- The Water Design-Build Council (WDBC) announced today that Peter W. Tunnicliffe, P.E., DEE, DBIA, has been elected as their new President. Tunnicliffe, Senior Vice President of Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. (CDM), one of the world's top global consulting, engineering, construction and operations firms, heads CDM's design-build project development group.
|
"It's an honor to take the lead of an organization that has so much to offer struggling communities across the nation during a time of extreme environmental and economic challenges," said Tunnicliffe. "We are committed to the quality and sustainability of the country's water and wastewater infrastructure. Design-build project delivery speeds implementation of infrastructure projects. It is a proven and efficient way for local, state, and regional decision-makers to make critically needed repairs to our aging infrastructure nationwide and to expedite the creation of needed jobs in local economies."
|
As such, the WDBC is formally encouraging President-elect Obama and the incoming Administration to support the use of design-build as the preferred project delivery method for executing federally funded water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
|
"As WDBC President, I'm committed to making the expertise and informational resources of the Council available to educate and assist community leaders in this important decision-making process. The Council's educational outreach effort will focus on the Obama Administration, Congress, governors, mayors, and other municipal leaders."
