20th Anniversary Platinum Sponsor Highlight: AECOM

Over the past 20 years, collaborative delivery has evolved from a sparsely used approach to a widely adopted standard, emphasizing early stakeholder involvement, transparency, and integration of the entire project teams. AECOM was an early member of WCDA because we recognized the importance of collaborative delivery and the impact it would have on the water sector. WCDA has allowed us stay ahead of industry trends, connect with partners, and participate in the development of resources that have improved our collaborative delivery approach and project outcomes.

New Member Spotlight: Olsson

 Olsson is a nationally recognized engineering and design firm with a long-standing commitment to creating solutions that improve communities and support sustainable growth. Represented by Chris Heese, alternative delivery leader, and Chris Hall, market leader, the Olsson team is a very welcome addition to the association and will provide great insight and value to our mission and vision.

Why Teams Are Using Collaborative Delivery for Greater Flexibility

Is your project delivery method helping your team adapt—or holding you back? Choosing the right delivery method sets the tone for how teams communicate, make decisions, manage risks, and respond as a project takes shape.

In collaborative delivery methods, such as construction management at-risk and progressive design-build, the contractor becomes involved in the project early in design to identify risks, evaluate design options, and provide input on constructability.

Owner Testimonials Needed for Handbook

WCDA is in the process of updating our Water and Wastewater Collaborative Delivery Handbook. As part of this new 7th edition, we would like to include quotes and testimonials from utility owners about the benefits of collaborative delivery as a whole and (even better) specifically about WCDA’s education programs and materials.

Please upload your testimonials by COB on Friday, June 5, 2026, using this link.

Symposium Schedule and Speakers Announced

Our 20th Anniversary Symposium is only two months away and we hope you are making plans to join us for this momentous occasion! A link to our robust program and speakers is now available (subject to updates). 

We encourage all water sector stakeholders to attend this event that blends education with celebration to commemorate two decades of driving progress in collaborative delivery for the water sector.
