The earlier contract with Atlantic Richfield Company, which ARCADIS won in August 2009 , involves environmental remediation and site closure for a portfolio with existing environmental liabilities. ARCADIS applies the GRiP(R) (Guaranteed Remediation Program) approach to these sites to assure that each site in the portfolio will meet the environmental cleanup standards set by the regulators.

Commenting on this contract expansion, Gary Coates , President of ARCADIS US Environmental Division said: "We are glad that Atlantic Richfield awarded us an additional portfolio of sites to remediate under our GRiP(R) program. This shows that our commitment to meet Atlantic Richfield's expectations has been recognized by our client. The GRiP(R) approach enables clients to redirect their resources to core business activities and drive more of their environmental expenditures towards reducing their liabilities within a fixed period of time."
