Pöyry awarded EUR 6.1 million tunnel project in Mexico

CONAGUA, Comisión Nacional del Agua has awarded Pöyry a project to provide specialized advisory services during the construction of the largest wastewater tunnel in the world, with a length of 62 km and a depth of 200 m. The value of Pöyry’s assignment is EUR 6.1 million.



The consulting services provided by Pöyry cover the scheduling, risk management, interface management, performance monitoring of the tunnel boring machines and the installation of Pöyry’s 2DOC underground data management system. The services will be completed by December 2012.
