TRANSACTIONS WK DICKSON ACQUIRES EDISON ENGINEERING; STRENGTHENS WATER & WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE CONSULTING IN GEORGIA W.K. Dickson & Co., Inc., a leading community infrastructure consulting firm, announced they have acquired Edison Engineering Group, a civil and environmental engineering firm based in Dallas, Georgia. This new partnership will allow WK Dickson to better serve existing and future clients’ critical infrastructure needs throughout the state. “Our partnership with Edison represents a natural outgrowth of the strong client and partner base we already have in Georgia,” said David Pond, President and CEO. “WK Dickson is well positioned to increase our impact in the region by supporting our clients’ capital improvement plans and helping them obtain the funding they need to upgrade their infrastructure.” Edison’s former principal, Mike Jones, PE, will assume the role of regional manager for both the Dallas and Atlanta offices, leading their growth and business development, while his partner Chuck Rann, PE, will
continue to lead the technical operations. “We’re excited to join with WK Dickson. Their reputation is impeccable, and their service diversity and depth of resources is a major win for our clients,” said Mike Jones. The new Dallas operation will primarily provide planning, design, and engineering consulting services for water, wastewater, and land development projects. Future office expansion includes adding aviation, energy, and watershed services within the next six months. WK Dickson has rapidly increased its presence in middle Georgia while serving area clients from the firm’s Atlanta and Augusta offices. The new location in Dallas is a logical extension of the company’s footprint in the western part of the state. WK Dickson is an ENR Top 500 multi- disciplined consulting firm specializing in community infrastructure solutions, including airport planning and design, environmental and water resources engineering, land planning and development, and energy support services.

and retention of strong employees and these solid practices combined with skilled employees will lead to better projects with desired clients. ■ ■ Evolve as needed. Be resilient, open, forward-thinking, and responsive. Often, especially during times of uncertainty, the organization’s ability to adapt to the evolving marketplace is more important than the organization’s ability to “get it right” out of the gate. As we look ahead to the rest of this year, let’s celebrate the opportunity to head into uncharted territory. It’s not an easy task to work though the above-mentioned areas, but it will be transformational, contribute to ongoing success, and create more resilient organizations and an overall more resilient AEC landscape. Increased resilience will create new opportunities for people to contribute to the industry and will provide renewed confidence to organizational leaders that they can not only weather difficult times but that they can thrive on the challenges they bring. Investing in yourself and your teams to build on your strengths and expand skills will serve as a way to set yourself apart for clients, potential employees, current employees, and other stakeholders, and we welcome the opportunity to support you in your journeys.
