AtkinsRéalis acquires Australia-based ADG Engineers

AtkinsRéalis, a Montreal-based design and engineering consultancy, has acquired ADG Engineers, an Australia-based engineering consultancy.

Founded in 2002, ADG provides services in structural and civil engineering, construction services, and digital advisory. The firm has approximately 250 employees across 11 offices in Australia.

AtkinsRéalis’ acquisition of ADG will expand its operations in Australia and enable it to better support local projects in infrastructure, power, and defense.

“This is an exciting moment for our business in Australia, as we continue our ‘Delivering Excellence, Driving Growth’ strategy,” said Ian Edwards, president and CEO of AtkinsRéalis. “We are intent on building a business in Australia that feels different to work in and partner with – and this acquisition is a step forward on this journey.”

AtkinsRéalis has more than 38,000 employees across 50+ countries providing services in advisory & environmental services, intelligent networks & cybersecurity, design & engineering, procurement, project & construction management, operations & maintenance, decommissioning and capital.

“Joining AtkinsRéalis builds on the momentum we’ve created at ADG and takes it further,” said Marco Ficca, CEO of ADG. “Our people will have the opportunity to work on larger, diverse and more complex projects whilst growing their expertise across Australia and globally.

“Our clients will gain access to deeper technical capabilities and expanded resources, delivered with the same collaborative approach and relationship focus that’s always defined us.”
