Company

Overview

Founded 1978

Year Established

The company began as a small industrial engineering firm and has since grown into a multidisciplinary design firm.

10 Disciplines

Technical Expertise Offered

The firm combines expertise across structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, process, and rail engineering, among others.

Headquartered in Minneapolis with regional offices in Sioux Falls and New Orleans, the firm operates across North America and abroad.
While rooted in agribusiness projects like grain, seed and fertilizer facilities, they’ve grown into broader sectors such as food processing, biofuels and bulk handling terminals.
Their integrated project management model weaves planning, architecture and engineering into unified execution from concept to commissioning.
Typical projects include soybean processing plants, crude‑oil transload facilities, port and river terminal designs, and industrial buildings.
They leverage niche capabilities—dust hazard analysis, general arrangement, life‑safety code compliance—that set them apart in complex heavy‑industry environments.
VAA’s story is one of partnerships: building long‑term client relationships by understanding daily operations and tailoring flexible, future‑ready designs.
Their geographic expansion—like the New Orleans office—reflects a strategic alignment with growth corridors (e.g. Lower Mississippi, Gulf industrial markets).
Under steady private ownership, the firm delivers mid‑sized firm agility with deep technical breadth, often tackling high‑complexity industrial and infrastructure projects.

Culture + Values

We are committed to excellence and value collaboration.
Integrity is at the core of everything we do.
We prioritize innovative solutions and continuous improvement.
We foster a culture of trust and respect.
