November 15, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Engineering and design-build firm <a href='https://aecom.com/' target='_blank'>AECOM</a> (<a href='https://www.nyse.com/quote/XNYS:ACM' target='_blank'>NYSE:ACM</a>) (Los Angeles, California) saw an uptick in its project backlog at the end of its 2022 fiscal year, which wrapped up in September. Despite the impact of a stronger dollar, the company's global design business reported its highest quarterly growth rate in more than a decade. Total backlog in the design business increased by 8%, fueled by transportation and energy-related projects. Industrial Info is tracking more than $53 billion worth of projects worldwide that are using AECOM's services, including nearly $20 billion within the U.S. The bulk of these projects--more than $14 billion worth--are state or municipal transportation-system projects. On the renewables front, AECOM is serving as environmental consultant for a major municipal project in California and an offshore wind project near Massachusetts.
