Federal Way Link Extension (FWLE) Project Receives Envision Platinum Sustainability Award
May 28 2024 - 4:05PM
Parsons Corporation (NYSE: PSN) announced today that Sound
Transit’s Federal Way Link Extension (FWLE) project has earned an
Envision Platinum Award from the Institute for Sustainable
Infrastructure (ISI). This award is the highest possible Envision
award level for achievements related to sustainable transportation,
mobility and access, stakeholder engagement, infrastructure
integration, and multiple other areas of sustainability. FWLE is
only the seventh transit project in the U.S. to earn Envision
Platinum.
Parsons is lead designer for this 7.8-mile-long design-build
project that expands light rail access in the Seattle area,
extending the existing line south from the Angle Lake Station
terminus of Sound Transit’s Central Link system to the Federal Way
Downtown Station (FWDS). The extension travels within the cities of
Seattle/Tacoma, Des Moines, Kent, and Federal Way in King County
and includes three stations.
“As a global leader in infrastructure, Parsons is transforming
the rail and transit sector by providing innovative, tailored
solutions that modernize transportation systems and deliver
long-lasting, sustainable benefits to our clients,” said Mark
Fialkowski, president, Infrastructure North America for Parsons.
“Our contribution to the Federal Way Link Extension project
represents both Parsons’ engineering capability and enterprise-wide
commitment to sustainability. We are honored to be part of the team
that achieved this award by creating a lasting, valuable public
asset for the region and community.”
In addition to being the project’s lead designer, Parsons
supplied sustainability management services, including the
development of a detailed sustainability management plan. This
served as a roadmap for the team and included Sound Transit’s own
sustainability design criteria along with three different
third-party certifications (LEED for the Federal Way Transit Center
and End-of-Line Facility and Envision certification for the entire
corridor, inclusive of the three station buildings). The LEED
certifications are on track to achieve Silver certification for the
FWDS and the End of Line (EOL) Facility.
“We are proud that our team’s commitment to innovation
throughout the Envision process helped achieve this unique
milestone,” said Catherine T. Sheane, Senior Technical Director,
ESG, Sustainability & Resilience, Parsons. “This project
represents how Parsons’ core values informed our team’s vision to
deliver a sustainable and resilient transportation project which
will connect communities by improving mobility and efficiency.”
Parsons has decades of experience designing, delivering, and
protecting the infrastructure that connects our communities around
the world, including roads and highways; bridges; passenger and
freight rail; public transit; airports; and ports and waterways.
The company’s experience includes more than 10,000 miles of
