Global infrastructure and engineering firm Gannett Fleming, which is headquartered in Camp Hill, Penn., recently acquired Chicago-based transportation firm Bowman, Barrett & Associates Inc. (BB&A).
The consulting firm now operates as BB&A, a business group of Gannett Fleming.
“This marks Gannett Fleming’s third acquisition in the past six months, and each new addition strategically positions us to thrive in a rapidly changing marketplace,” Bob Scaer, Gannett Fleming chairman and CEO, said. “BB&A’s record of delivering excellence to their clients and nurturing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurism is in perfect alignment with our mission. We are constantly seeking innovative and sustainable solutions in every market we serve.”
BB&A’s team has worked on projects in transportation operations, transit and rail, structures, construction management, and aviation across the greater Chicago area and the Midwest. In the coming year, the BB&A team will combine with the existing Gannett Fleming office in Chicago.
“While our name is changing, our core principles remain the same as we join Gannett Fleming,” Jim Daum, former president of BB&A and now a vice president at Gannett Fleming, said. “This move will allow us to immediately offer a full suite of engineering services to our clients, combining local expertise with national resources.”
