Sustained revenue growth has driven international expansion.
Began as a two-person engineering consultancy.
Engineered iconic projects including long-span prestressed bridges, airport terminals, highways, rail systems, and water infrastructure.
Carved a niche in specialty infrastructure—bridges, aviation, marine, transit, buildings, and water—and grew through acquisitions like Silman and Greeley & Hansen.
Recent standout projects include the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge eastern span, Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge, Champlain Bridge in Montreal, and major metro lines in Panama.
