“We are proud to be #39 in the country,” said David Gaboury, P.E., Terracon president and CEO. “For the past two years, we have achieved double-digit growth. This is a remarkable accomplishment given the national economic situation over the past three years. Our employees’ efforts are making a real and positive impact on our continued success.”

In addition to the Top Design Firm category, ENR ranked Terracon as the 18th largest design firm in the Top 20 General Building (commercial) market, 20th in the list of Top 20 Telecommunications design firms and 20th in the list of Top 100 Pure designers.

ENR annually surveys the construction industry to determine the 500 largest U.S.-based engineering, architectural and environmental design firms. The rankings are based on design-specific revenue generated by each company.

Terracon’s total revenues were $354 million for 2011. Terracon’s top four sectors (State/Local Government, Commercial/Retail, Industrial/Agriculture and Institutional) accounted for 76 percent of total revenues. In addition, the Transportation Sector grew 45 percent over the last three years.

During 2011, Terracon acquired two highly-reputable companies: Nodarse & Associates, Inc. and Dressler Consulting Engineers, Inc., adding more than 230 employees. Since 2009, Terracon has made nine acquisitions, adding a total of 48 offices and 725 employees to the firm.
