Stantec has expanded its presence in Texas and Alabama, USA, with the acquisition of the Infrastructure Americas Division of KBR, which closed on December 31, 2015. With offices in Houston, Austin, and Dallas, Texas; and Mobile, Alabama, Infrastructure Americas brings approximately 180 professionals with experience in transportation, water/wastewater, and aviation projects. 

Stantec president and CEO, Bob Gomes, commented:

“The transportation and infrastructure markets in North America, especially in Texas, are strong opportunities. Infrastructure Americas’ project experience and seasoned staff will give us a platform to continue growing in these areas across the country, while significantly boosting our presence in Texas and Alabama.”

The firm also recently divested its operations in India to a core group of leaders and senior staff in Ahmedabad. The new company, called INI Design Studio, will continue to provide design and client services across India and South Asia.

Bob Gomes stated:

“We’ve been considering this change for some time as a way to help our team in India be more competitive and drive growth more effectively in their business environment. We’ll continue to work with INI as a strategic partner for any of our continued work in the region.”
