Geo-companies in ENR’s 2016 Top 500 Design Firms
ENR’s annual top 500 design firms list is out. These rankings are based on revenue for design services in the previous calendar year. I was curious how the various firms that are strong in geotechnical / geological related services rank. I included firms that self-identified as geotechnical firms, as well as engineering firms that I know to have a strong geo emphasis. I’m sure there are some that I missed. I also included some of the major A&E firms that provide these types of services. I even included a few environmental firms. So in summary, it’s still a bit subjective on who is included. Without further ado, here is the list (along with their change in ranking relative to 2015):
- 1 – AECOM, Los Angeles, Calif. (No change from 2015)
- 3 – CH2M, Englewood, Colo. (+1)
- 5 – AMEC FOSTER WHEELER, Tucker, Ga. (+1)
- 7 – TETRA TECH INC., Pasadena, Calif. (No change from 2015)
- 9 – HDR, Omaha, Neb. (No change from 2015)
- 11 – WSP | PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF, New York, N.Y. (+5)
- 12 – ARCADIS NORTH AMERICA/CALLISONRTKL, Highlands Ranch, Colo. (+1)
