Tetra Tech Secures $49 Million Multi-Award Contract with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK), a premier provider of consulting, engineering, and technical services in water, environment, and sustainable infrastructure, has been awarded a key position on a five-year, multiple-award contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Portland District. The contract carries a shared capacity of $49 million and is focused on delivering architectural and engineering (A-E) design services for critical navigation and water control infrastructure projects.
This contract further strengthens Tetra Tech’s longstanding relationship with the USACE, highlighting the company’s reputation for innovative solutions, technical excellence, and dedication to resilient infrastructure development.
Comprehensive Design Services for Critical Infrastructure
Under the terms of the contract, Tetra Tech will provide a wide range of design and technical services aimed at optimizing the performance, reliability, and resilience of essential civil works structures. These include locks, dams, levees, and flood zone management systems that play a vital role in protecting communities and supporting economic activity.
The company’s engineers, scientists, and technical specialists will be responsible for planning, designing, and performing advanced computer modeling to enhance dam safety, manage flood risk, improve migratory fish passage, and facilitate efficient inland and coastal navigation. Tetra Tech’s approach combines technical expertise with innovative engineering methods, ensuring that the infrastructure meets current demands while remaining adaptable for future challenges.
This multi-faceted work reflects the company’s commitment to integrating advanced technology, environmental stewardship, and resilient design into every project.
Leveraging Advanced Technology for Resilient Infrastructure
Tetra Tech’s teams will employ state-of-the-art computer modeling and simulation techniques to evaluate complex hydrologic, hydraulic, and structural conditions across a range of infrastructure projects. These advanced tools allow engineers to predict potential risks, design solutions to mitigate hazards, and optimize the functionality and safety of critical facilities.
For instance, modeling of dam and levee systems ensures they can withstand extreme weather events, such as floods or earthquakes, while maintaining safe and reliable operation. Similarly, hydrodynamic and ecological modeling is applied to support migratory fish passage designs and other environmental enhancements required by federal and state regulations.
By integrating engineering science with environmental modeling, Tetra Tech ensures that infrastructure not only meets operational objectives but also promotes sustainable ecosystem management and long-term community safety.
Supporting Inland and Coastal Navigation
In addition to water control infrastructure, the contract emphasizes improvements to inland and coastal navigation systems. These systems are essential for commercial shipping, recreational boating, and local economies dependent on waterborne transportation.
Tetra Tech will work to enhance locks, channels, and related navigation facilities by designing structures that reduce operational risks, improve efficiency, and support environmental compliance. The company’s experience with complex civil works projects enables it to balance operational demands with ecological considerations, ensuring sustainable and reliable navigation infrastructure.
Such improvements are crucial for maintaining U.S. competitiveness in global trade, reducing transportation bottlenecks, and safeguarding economic growth in regions dependent on waterborne commerce.
Strengthening Community Safety and Resilience
A central focus of the contract is the protection of communities from water-related hazards. Tetra Tech’s engineers will design infrastructure that mitigates flood risks, ensures dam and levee integrity, and addresses other potential threats to human safety and property.
Projects under this contract will involve rigorous risk assessment, scenario planning, and implementation of design strategies that enhance resilience. By improving critical infrastructure, Tetra Tech contributes to the safety of surrounding communities, enabling local governments and residents to better withstand natural disasters and other unforeseen events.
The company’s holistic approach emphasizes not only technical performance but also public safety, environmental stewardship, and long-term sustainability.
Tetra Tech’s Longstanding Partnership with USACE
“Tetra Tech has supported USACE to deliver innovative engineering solutions for the nation’s toughest challenges for more than 40 years,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to continuing to use our Leading with Science® approach to design resilient water resources and inland navigation infrastructure, support the safety of local communities, and facilitate economic growth.”
This award highlights the company’s reputation as a trusted partner for federal agencies, particularly in delivering projects that require advanced technical solutions and careful integration of engineering, environmental, and operational considerations. Tetra Tech’s longstanding collaboration with USACE underscores its ability to meet high standards for safety, innovation, and regulatory compliance.
Commitment to Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship
Environmental sustainability is a cornerstone of Tetra Tech’s work. Every project under this contract will consider ecological impacts, habitat preservation, and regulatory requirements.
Designs for water control infrastructure, for instance, incorporate strategies for fish passage, water quality protection, and ecosystem resilience. Flood risk management and dam safety projects are planned to minimize environmental disruption while achieving operational objectives.
By embedding sustainability into engineering solutions, Tetra Tech ensures that infrastructure improvements support both human and environmental needs, aligning with broader federal and state environmental goals.
Delivering Economic and Social Value
Beyond engineering and environmental benefits, the contract will generate tangible economic and social value. Improved water control and navigation infrastructure facilitates trade, supports local economies, and enhance public safety. Communities benefit from reduced flood risk, more reliable transportation systems, and environmentally responsible development.
Tetra Tech’s integrated approach combines technical rigor with practical outcomes, ensuring that public investments translate into long-term, measurable benefits. The company’s work not only strengthens physical infrastructure but also reinforces economic resilience and quality of life for affected communities.
The award of this $49 million multi-award contract positions Tetra Tech to continue advancing critical infrastructure projects in partnership with USACE for the next five years. By leveraging technical excellence, innovative design approaches, and a deep understanding of water resources and civil works, the company is poised to contribute significantly to resilient infrastructure development, environmental stewardship, and community safety across the Portland District and beyond.
With decades of experience and a Leading with Science® philosophy, Tetra Tech remains committed to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving demands of the nation’s water and navigation infrastructure.
