Wellington - NZPA-AsiaNet / - Fredericton based engineering consultancy, Project Engineering Ltd has merged with publically listed global infrastructure consultancy, Opus International Consultants Ltd, a world leader in transportation asset management.
Announcing this today from Wellington, New Zealand, Opus Chief Executive and Managing Director, Dr Kevin Thompson said that the purchase of the Canadian company, Project Engineering, will bring their total number of staff in North America to 74 and help them to further establish themselves in this important and expanding market.
"We presently have offices in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Calgary and Fredericton, along with an office in Detroit (USA) to service our clients needs in innovative engineering solutions, particularly in the areas of transportation asset development and asset management," said Dr Thompson.
"By adding Project Engineerings particular expertise to our own will give us an additional capability, particularly in the water sector. They also provide services to municipalities and private developers in the areas of civil, municipal, transportation and environmental engineering."
"We see this opportunity as providing a platform for us to further expand here in Canada. It will allow us to leverage off the business contacts established by Project Engineering over the last 21 years in the Atlantic provinces of Canada."
Opus is managed in Canada from its offices in Vancouver and Fredericton, with a total staff number of 74. In Canada its clients include the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, the Ontario Ministry of Public Infrastructure, the New Brunswick Department of Transportation, the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Transportation and Works, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation and the US Federal Highway Administration. Recent transportation projects have included the Trans-Canada Highway, Kicking Horse Canyon, and the Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler, site of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Opus was presented with Canadian industry awards last year for their work associated with the Sea to Sky Highway and for a project on the study of 10 highway bridges in British Columbia.
In addition to the offices in Canada, Opus has 36 offices in New Zealand, 21 offices in Australia and 17 in the UK, where it also has a reputation in transportation development, asset management, building design and environmental engineering.
