Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--AECOM Technology Corporation's (NYSE:ACM) (Los Angeles, California) growing backlog is expected to show significant results by the end of this year. The service provider is involved in $2.83 billion in project completions and $4.1 billion in project starts that are planned for the fourth quarter, according to Industrial Info's project database, with more than 80% to be found in the Power Generation and Industrial Manufacturing industries.

The Industrial Manufacturing Industry shows the strongest total investment value (TIV) for projects set to wrap up before the end of the year, fueled by transportation and automotive-related spending. Volvo Cars of North America LLC (Rockleigh, New Jersey) picked AECOM as construction manager for its $500 million auto manufacturing plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina. The facility, which began construction in September 2015, is expected to have an initial production capacity of 100,000 S60 sedans per year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

Commuter rail projects also play a major role in AECOM's backlog, including Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit's (SMART) $366 million first-phase rail line from Santa Rosa to San Rafael, California. The 38.5-mile line, which is part of a 70-mile corridor, will feature 10 stations and connect with San Rafael's Marin Civic Center. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

In the Power Industry, AECOM is performing engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) on two retrofits at coal-fired power plants that will allow owners to comply with the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and other regulations. Tennessee Valley Authority (NYSE:TVE) (Knoxville, Tennessee) is set to finish its $200 million addition of sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide controls at its Shawnee Power Station in West Paducah, Kentucky, while Arizona Public Service Company (Phoenix, Arizona) is expected to wrap up its $95 million addition of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system at its Four Corners Power Station in Fruitland, New Mexico. Both involve modifications to Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises (NYSE:BW) (Charlotte, North Carolina) dry-bottom boilers. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Kentucky and New Mexico projects.

Outside the U.S., AECOM is at work on two high-value windfarms that are expected to begin construction before the end of the year. Nigig Power Corporation's (Pickerel, Ontario) $600 million Henvey Inlet Windfarm in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, would generate 300 megawatts (MW) from 130 Vestas turbines, while AGL Energy Limited's (Sydney, Australia) $469 million Coopers Gap Windfarm in Jandowae, Queensland, Australia, would generate 450 megawatts (MW) from 91 General Electric (NYSE:GE) turbines. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Ontario and Queensland projects.

A commuter rail project with less certain prospects than the SMART line in California is Honolulu Rail Transit's $1.04 billion addition to its light-rail system in Honolulu, Hawaii. The four-mile addition, which is expected to include eight stations, is part of a larger, 20-mile system that will service the city center and Ala Moana Center, the largest shopping mall in Hawaii. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.

Like many light-rail projects across the country, the Honolulu system has faced frequent delays and could face more. Its completion date has been repeatedly pushed back, most recently to early 2020. But the Honolulu City Council recently cleared the way for up to $2.4 billion from the state to complete the project, according to Hawaii Public Radio.

AECOM plays a role in other markets, such as the Food & Beverage Industry. Roquette Fréres (Lestrem, France) is preparing to kick off a $320.6 million pea protein-processing plant in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It will feature three production lines that will process 125,000 tons per year of yellow peas. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
