Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEK), a leading provider of high-end consulting and engineering services, announced today that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded the Company a $32 million, single-award contract to provide architect and engineering services for dioxin remediation at the Bien Hoa Air Base area in Vietnam.
Under this five-year contract Tetra Tech will provide engineering design, construction management, and environmental monitoring of civil works and treatment activities for dioxin-contaminated soil and sediment to reduce the risk of exposure to people on the Air Base as well as in the communities that border it, and to restore the land for full use.

Climate risks also will be considered throughout the project to mitigate potential impacts due to changing climatic conditions.
“Tetra Tech has supported USAID’s environmental cleanup programs in Vietnam since 2012,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech Chairman and CEO. “We are pleased to continue using our Leading with Science® approach to apply innovative technologies to effectively remediate the soils and sediments in and around the Bien Hoa Air Base facilities.”
