Gannett Fleming TranSystems announced today it acquired Scalar Consulting Group Inc., a Florida-based transportation engineering and infrastructure services firm. “The acquisition deepens Gannett Fleming TranSystems’ presence in Florida and broadens its suite of transportation and construction engineering [and] inspection (“CE&I”) offerings, primarily serving government agencies and commercial clients across the state,” according to the firm’s news release.
Scalar’s scope of services includes project development and environment studies, NEPA evaluations, bridge design and inspection, traffic engineering, drainage design, complex highway design, utility coordination, and other essential engineering and CE&I services. It operates five offices and employs more than 100 engineers throughout Florida.
“Scalar’s specialization in innovative transportation engineering, cost-effective solutions, and efficient project delivery will enhance and expand our capabilities,” commented Tim Rock, co-president of Gannett Fleming TranSystems. “Their expertise in complex highway design, drainage solutions, and CE&I services strengthens our ability to provide top-tier infrastructure solutions across Florida’s diverse transportation needs.”
Gannett Fleming and TranSystems merged last August. The Scalar acquisition is the firm’s second in less than six months. It acquired Muller & Muller LTD, a Chicago-based architecture, planning, and structural engineering services provider, in December.
