Company

Overview

$100M–$1B

Estimated Annual Revenue

The company's annual revenue is estimated to fall between $100 million and $1 billion, reflecting significant growth over its history.

14 States

Geographic Reach

The firm operates across 14 states nationwide, underscoring its extensive service area and regional expertise.

2021

Engineering Excellence Award

The team earned national recognition for developing innovative ASTM methods for low-emissions cement.

ASTM Methods

Innovative Development

Pioneered methods for low-emissions cement, setting industry standards for sustainable construction materials.

Founded in 1957 by Jack Braun in his home, the firm began as a humble soil-testing provider and steadily expanded across the Midwest.
Over decades, it added geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, drilling, geospatial services, nondestructive examination, and materials testing.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, it now operates across 14 states, serving both public and private clients nationwide.
Notable work includes environmental site assessments, highway interchange testing, levee restoration after the 2008 floods, and nondestructive testing on historic artifacts.
The firm’s acquisitions—like Edwards‑Pitman Environmental and several geoscience groups—enhanced its reach in compliance, permitting and environmental remediation.
Typical projects span highways, schools, industrial sites, hydroelectric facilities, fulfillment centers, and flood control infrastructure.
A standout moment: testing a Titanic whistle in 1999 underscored both its technical depth and adventurous scope.
