Stantec acquires Street Smarts
Written by jrood
North American design firm Stantec has acquired the assets of Street Smarts, a 60-person transportation and civil engineering company headquartered in Duluth, Georgia. The addition of this well-respected Atlanta-area firm further develops Stantec's existing transportation practice in Georgia and the southeastern United States. "Street Smarts is a very good fit for our Transportation practice," says Bob Gomes, Stantec president and chief executive officer. "It has an impressive 20-year track record in Georgia spanning commercial development to statewide transportation projects and will help build our capabilities in this growing transportation market." Street Smarts has worked on projects throughout Georgia, winning an ACEC Award for a guidebook it developed for the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) and its role as a subconsultant on the 22-mile (35-kilometre) Atlanta Beltline, the automated people mover system at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and an addition to the Winn Army Community Hospital at Fort Stewart. Previous work also includes bridge replacements for Georgia DOT, a transportation study of the fast-growing commercial area around Gwinnett Place Mall, innovative freeway ramp and pedestrian control designs, and park, trail, and greenway designs.
