ARCADIS WINS $72 MILLION IN INFRASTRUCTURE WORK IN THE U.S.

Arnhem, the Netherlands–November 23, 2005 – ARCADIS (NASDAQ: ARCAF, EURONEXT: ARCAD), the international consultancy and engineering company, announced today that it has been selected for infrastructure projects in the United States with total fees of approximately $72 million in new transportation, water resources and tunneling work. “This series of recent project wins is a clear sign of the growing role ARCADIS plays in the U.S. infrastructure market. By using our specialized expertise, clients recognize our strength as well as our drive to create value for them,” said ARCADIS CEO Harrie Noy.

ARCADIS was selected as prime consultant for the North Atlanta Interstate Corridor Project (I-285 corridor from I-75 in Cobb County to I-85 in DeKalb County) for the Georgia Department of Transportation. Valued at approximately $3.5 billion in construction, this specific segment of I-285 is one of the most heavily traveled corridors in Georgia. The ARCADIS project team will develop and deliver a Master Corridor Concept, including relevant database preparation and environmental documents, and will be responsible for the conceptual design. ARCADIS’ fees for this project are approximately $40 million.

ARCADIS is partnering with Raytheon (NYSE: RTN) to provide advanced transportation design and infrastructure services to the Texas Department of Transportation to develop, build and maintain open-road toll collection systems in Texas. The contract duration is five years and the total construction value is approximately $250 million. ARCADIS’ fee for this project is approximately $20 million.

The diversity of ARCADIS’ work is also seen in the Upper Rouge River combined sewer overflow (CSO) tunnel for the Detroit Water & Sewer Department, a $600M construction project. The firm, based on its European underground structures experience, has been selected to provide tunnel-engineering expertise for the 180 million gallon rock tunnel. ARCADIS fees for this project will be over $12 million.

ARCADIS develops, designs, implements, maintains and operates projects for companies and governments. With more than 10,000 employees and over € 1 billion in gross revenue, the company has an extensive international network that is supported by strong local market positions.
