Overview

$10M - $50M

Annual Revenue Range

Reflects steady, mid-market performance in engineering and construction.

80% Repeat Rate

Client Retention Rate

Indicates strong client trust across public agencies and utilities.

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Boise, Idaho, the firm grew by merging environmental, engineering, and construction under one roof.
Their design-build projects focus on dams, hydropower & pumped storage, fish passage, water control, treatment, transport, and restoration.
typical projects include dam design & build, fisheries and aquaculture systems, infrastructure for water delivery, and dam removal and reclamation.
Structurally employee-owned, they maintain a hands-on culture—'calloused hands' from field crews to welders and engineers.
Outposts span the U.S. West—from Idaho to California, Washington, Colorado, and Texas—plus international work in France.
Uniquely, they pair in-house environmental expertise with self-performing construction, owning their own 'yellow iron' heavy equipment.
