“Not only have we been able to grow consistently throughout our 100-year history, we’ve been able to diversify our services and markets to remain a leader in the industry and sustain our business despite economic challenges,” said Mike Flannery (middle left photo), president and CEO.

“We are proud of our past, and we are confident we will continue to be successful well into the future, in large part because our employees embrace a century-old culture that encourages innovation, entrepreneurialism and thought leadership.”

As part of the 100-year celebration, Woolpert has launched an anniversary website and video to commemorate the past and look to the future. The firm has also updated its website, logo and brand to reflect its integrated approach to holistic project solutions above, on and beneath the earth’s surface.

Most recently, Woolpert acquired the Dallas operations of Bohannan Huston, a spatial data, mapping, civil engineering and advanced engineering technology services firm headquartered in New Mexico.

 This is the firm’s fourth acquisition in three years.  Woolpert locations in Florida include our Orlando office established in 2001 and our Miami office established in 1996.

Woolpert, ranked by Engineering News-Record as a top national design firm, provides professional design, geospatial and infrastructure services to clients in the public and private sectors.

Founded in 1911, Woolpert’s innovative design approach and commitment to the creative application of technology have grown the firm into a leader in the consulting industry.
