Overview
For 110 years, Black & Veatch has been synonymous with innovation and delivery of human infrastructure projects that shape the fabric of organizations, populations and communities. Clients rely on us for bolder vision in strategic planning, courage and creativity to solve complex challenges, deep technical expertise, and our ability to execute and deliver.
Our commitment to research and innovation runs deep. A century of experience delivering water and power. Forty years of experience in process solutions like hydrogen and ammonia. We’re the designers and makers of many firsts on the planet for human infrastructure. Now, as we look to lower carbon footprints, we’re propelling a global energy transition through resilient power and cleaner energy like liquefied natural gas, ammonia, hydrogen and other constantly maturing renewables.
As employee-owners, we have a personal stake in solving the world’s foremost infrastructure challenges — today, and for generations to come. Innovative, intuitive and indispensable since 1915. We are Black & Veatch.
