Gannett Fleming, a leading engineering and infrastructure solutions provider, announced that it has acquired DEC, a Texas-based water and transportation engineering services provider. The acquisition will deepen Gannett Fleming’s presence in Texas and allow it to serve transportation and water clients on a larger scale.
Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Houston, DEC is a civil engineering firm that specializes in safe water and wastewater systems, subsidence projects, drainage improvements, program management, and highway design for federal, state, local, and private sector clients. DEC has seven offices in Texas and over 200 employees with deep technical expertise that helps drive mission-critical projects across the state.
“While we have worked in Texas for decades, DEC will broaden our company’s presence in the state, deepening the services and resources we can offer clients,” said Bob Scaer, PE, Gannett Fleming CEO. “DEC has an attractive client base and impressive portfolio of work that will enhance our ability to serve new and existing customers. DEC and Gannett Fleming are aligned on the importance of delivering exceptional quality, being our clients’ trusted advisors, and being an employer of choice by continuously investing in our employees and helping them be successful.”
Gannett Fleming, a portfolio company of OceanSound Partners, is currently #26 on Engineering News-Record’s Top Design Firms list. This marks Gannett Fleming’s third acquisition in seven months and is another example of its strategic, client-informed growth.
