Industrial Food & Beverage

Delivering advanced food and beverage solutions

Since 1954, we’ve delivered thousands of industrial food and beverage projects for clients worldwide. Our teams provide complete lifecycle solutions—from frozen potato products and meat and fish to dairy and beverages.

Food processing sees the renewed investment as organizations modernize plants and build new facilities to remain competitive. While new technologies, trends, and regulations drive industry change, our focus remains: helping clients realize better cost, schedule, and safety performance.

Whether it’s a multimillion-dollar greenfield project or a processing upgrade at an existing facility, our full suite of multidisciplinary engineering services, project and construction management, and commissioning services mean we can provide expertise from project concept through implementation. This includes permitting, industrial hygiene, cogeneration systems, and environmental, hazard, and safety assessments.

Let us help you reduce costs, optimize production, and operate safely.
