Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM) is a consulting engineering firm serving public and private clients in North America. HMM’s capabilities include planning, project development, studies and analysis, design, procurement, and construction engineering and inspection. HMM also provides project, program and construction management as well as facility maintenance and operations. == History == Hatch Mott MacDonald was founded in 1996 by its parent companies, Hatch Ltd and Mott MacDonald. HMM was intended to take advantage of engineering opportunities in North America. HMM originally provided the bulk of its services in transportation, including the design of tunnels, rail systems, bridges, highways, and airport infrastructure. In 2001, Hatch Mott MacDonald acquired Killam Associates,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.waterworld.com/articles/2001/01/hatch-mott-macdonald-acquires-killam-group-in-us.html )〕 a New Jersey-based water, wastewater, and environmental services company. HMM has continued to follow a strategy of organic growth coupled with strategic acquisitions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.masstransitmag.com/press_release/10723002/hatch-mott-macdonald-acquires-engineering-northwest-ltd )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://texas.construction.com/texas_construction_news/2012/0517-hatch-mott-macdonald-acquires-lambert-engineers.asp )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwdmag.com/hatch-mott-macdonald-acquires-simcoe )〕 As of 2013, Engineering News-Record ranked HMM number 36 among its “Top 500 Design Firms in the United States.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://enr.construction.com/toplists/Top-Design-Firms/001-100.asp )〕 Highways and bridges, oil and gas pipelines, rail and transit, tunneling, and water and wastewater services are among the largest contributors to revenue. The Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project is one of HMM’s most high-profile projects in the area of highways and bridges. The design-build contractor Peter Kiewit Sons of Kiewit Corporation chose HMM to improve the British Columbia Highway 99, which averaged 574 accidents a year between 1998 and 2004. HMM led 12 design consultants and a team of about 100 people to complete the design of over 65 kilometers of new highway improvements, including 40 bridge structures. The project has reportedly won more than a dozen national and international awards, including Canada's Lieutenant Governor's Award. From 2007 to 2012, HMM provided project management, preliminary design, environmental engineering, permitting, and right-of-way acquisition services for three segments of the California High-Speed Rail system, each with challenging elements. These included to section between Palmdale, California and Los Angeles, which traverses rivers, mountains, densely populated cities, sensitive ecosystems, and three major fault lines. Among HMM’s large oil and gas pipeline projects is Spectra Energy's Time III/Temax project, which carries supplies from Rocky Mountain natural gas reserves across Pennsylvania. The pipeline has a capacity of four billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. In September 2011, ''Pipeline & Gas Journal'' reported that the project was finished on time and under budget.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spectraenergy.com/Newsroom/News-Archive/Spectra-Energy-Receives-Significant-Response-to-TIME-III-Open-Season-for-Northeast-Expansion/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hatchmott.com/projects/spectra-energy-time-iiitemax-pipelines )〕 ''Tunnels and Tunnelling'' magazine ranks HMM first among engineering consultants by tunneling revenue in North America. ''Trenchless Technology'' magazine ranks HMM number two among design firms in the field of trenchless tunneling technology. HMM played a key role in guiding the alignment of Seattle’s Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel (Seattle), directing the tunnel away from the original narrow corridor through the historic Pioneer District. HMM provides engineering services to major water providers, including American Water (company), Aqua America, the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DC Water), New York City Department of Environmental Protection, and Philadelphia Water Department. HMM engineers have promoted an integrated approach to wastewater management, writing in ''Water Canada'' that "the integration and optimization of stormwater, wastewater, and other source pollution will maximize long-term water quality planning benefits for each dollar spent.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hatch Mott MacDonald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
