CH2M HILL to acquire Halcrow

The Halcrow group board has announced that the business is to be acquired by the global engineering and construction firm, CH2M HILL. The two companies have entered into an agreement that will see CH2M HILL buy 100% of the issued and to be issued share capital of Halcrow Holdings Limited for the consideration of approximately US$193M. The acquisition is subject to Halcrow’s shareholder approval and the approval of the UK high court, and is expected to close in November 2011.

Peter Gammie, Halcrow’s chief executive said, “The board’s decision to approach CH2M HILL to discuss the sale of Halcrow is the culmination of a business relationship going back many years. We have worked together on many occasions and have become very much aware of each other’s strengths and working practices. The consolidation, which reflects an increasing trend in our industry, will create a very significant value proposition for clients. We are very complementary in terms of our skills and our markets so, where we share geographies, we are reinforcing one another rather than duplicating.

“CH2M HILL shares the same culture, the same commitment to delivering excellent work, the same dedication to clients; and the same focus on integrity, honesty and respect. CH2M HILL is an ambitious and progressive company with strong growth plans, and I see great opportunity for employees and for Halcrow as a business.

“We are currently in the process of sharing this news with our employees and industry partners. We also remain fully focused on our clients and on their day-to-day requirements for the delivery of their projects.”

CH2M HILL chairman and chief executive, Lee McIntire said, “This acquisition is a game changer for our clients.  Our global footprint will be deeper and our bench strength will be even more robust. By combining our resources and leveraging our collective technical know-how, we will set a new standard for the marketplace. Best of all, our two firms are ideally suited in terms of cultures, markets, geographies, and we have a shared long-term vision for the future.”
The combination of the two firms will help CH2M HILL advance its leadership in water, environmental, transportation and other markets.  With the addition of Halcrow’s operations in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and South America, CH2M HILL will more than double its international presence to almost 30,000 employees globally including over 11,000 outside of the U.S.
