| Tetra Tech acquires Canadian engineering firm BPR Pasadena-based Tetra Tech, Inc. announced that it has acquired BPR, a scientific and engineering services firm with more than 1,600 employees principally based in Quebec. BPR provides multidisciplinary consulting and engineering support for water, energy, industrial plants, buildings, and infrastructure projects. BPR generated approximately US$170 million in revenue over the past 12 months, and is currently expected to contribute approximately 3 to 5 cents to fiscal year 2011 diluted EPS. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. This transaction is Tetra Tech's third major acquisition in Canada, following the acquisition of EBA Engineering Consultants in August 2010 and Wardrop Engineering in January 2009. Tetra Tech now has about 3, 500 employees working in Canada, and approximately 25% of the Company's fiscal year 2011 net revenue is expected to be generated from international operations. Concurrently, Tetra Tech has renamed its former Environmental Consulting Services segment the Engineering and Consulting Services segment. BPR will join this segment, which focuses on front-end services. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
