We know the food industry

The future of the food, beverage and agriculture sectors has never been more exciting and promising. Consumers’ preferences and demands are rapidly evolving alongside major leaps forward in food technologies like alternative proteins, aquaculture and vertical farming. These trends are reshaping our food systems, driving innovation to solve global food security and create more sustainable products and facilities.

We’re pros in optimizing your existing facilities, designing and building new ones, and collaborating with you to bring emerging, new-to-world food, beverage and agricultural innovations to market.

We work with both traditional and emerging players. Whether you are trying to reduce costs or your environmental footprint, or bring a new technology to market with scale, we understand the importance of well-thought out facility design, and the value of optimizing capital and operational expenditures.

As a leader in power, water and other sustainable solutions, we work with you at every stage of development. Our consulting, engineering and construction expertise focuses on delivering success on time and on budget, while freeing you to focus on what you know and do best.
