Burns & McDonnell Retains No. 1 Power Ranking on Engineering News-Record 2017 List of Top Design Firms
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A continued surge of electric transmission and distribution projects to improve reliability and resiliency of the power grid has helped Burns & McDonnell stay as the No. 1 ranked firm in the Power category on the widely watched Engineering News-Record (ENR) Top 500 Design Firms rankings. Burns & McDonnell ranked No. 16 overall among the Top 500 firms on design revenue of $1.3 billion.
"Burns & McDonnell has always been a broadly diversified firm but our power business has seen tremendous growth and momentum for several consecutive years," says Burns & McDonnell Chairman and CEO Ray Kowalik. "As projects in the power industry have grown larger and more complex, clients often need a program management specialist like Burns & McDonnell to ensure cost and schedule certainty. We have executed more than $30 billion in large programs, so that experience, combined with our engineer-procure-construct (EPC) project delivery capability, has been a formula to win larger projects in the power sector."
"With an evolving combination of generation resources, new facilities are being constructed and transmission authorities are focusing on grid resiliency and reliability," adds John Olander, president of the T&D Group at Burns & McDonnell. "The entire power industry is going through a real transformation and we're excited to have our clients turning to us as partners to navigate through changes and discover new opportunities for growth."
In addition to the Power ranking, Burns & McDonnell continued to climb among the top 20 rankings in these categories:
- No. 14 in Manufacturing
- No. 17 in Sewer & Water
