ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the leading pure play global engineering and
consultancy firm, today announced that its Brazilian subsidiary, ARCADIS Logos,
as part of a consortium, was selected by RioUrbe and Empresa Olímpica Municipal
(EOM) to perform project and construction management services for the
implementation of the Olympic Park and Village for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The project is part of a series of infrastructure projects that Rio de Janeiro
is conducting to successfully host such a major sporting event for the first
time in South America.

The project comprises 75 hectares of Olympic Village including a total of 34
competition venues. These include tennis courts, swimming pools and a velodrome.
The project also requires development of support facilities such as an energy
center and a sewage treatment plant. Leisure and   meeting areas such as the
Diversity, Beauty, Sustainability, Health and Environment Villages, a waterside
park and a commercial and educational center are also to be realized.

Up to early 2016, when the work will be finalized, ARCADIS Logos will provide
time and cost planning, technical support, construction supervision and quality
control, among other services. At the peak of construction activities - to be
reached in mid-2013 - 60 professionals from the consortium team will be active
at the jobsite.

"We are intent on making the Rio 2016 Olympic Games a memorable event and we are
extremely proud to once again act as a key player in delivering another
important milestone in the Brazilian infrastructure legacy. This assignment
follows on our successful performance in projects related to other upcoming
major sports events, like the program management for the 2014 World Cup soccer
arenas and our work related to doubling the capacity at Guarulhos Airport. Being
part of the 'Olympic team' is a great challenge and honor", said Manoel Antonio
Avelino, CEO of ARCADIS Logos.
