Langan expands Texas operations with acquisition of ATR Engineering

Langan Engineering & Environmental Services has announced the acquisition of ATR Engineering, a Houston-based site and civil engineering firm specializing in land development across commercial, warehouse, and multifamily residential sectors. This strategic move strengthens Langan’s position in Texas, a region experiencing steady growth in infrastructure and urban development.

The acquisition brings an experienced team with a strong local reputation into Langan’s expanding Texas operations. ATR Engineering has been a key player in Houston’s development landscape, providing expertise in site engineering, stormwater management, and land-use planning. By integrating ATR’s knowledge and technical capabilities, Langan aims to enhance its service offerings in a market that continues to see increased demand for engineering and environmental consulting.

With this acquisition, Langan’s workforce in Texas grows to 140 employees, reinforcing its ability to handle large-scale projects across the state. In addition to its Houston office, Langan operates in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Tyler, and Celina, strategically positioning itself to serve major metropolitan and suburban developments.

Strengthening Langan’s Land Development Expertise in Texas

Texas remains one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S., with expanding urban centers and rising demand for commercial and residential development. The addition of ATR Engineering allows Langan to offer more localized expertise in a market where regulatory requirements and environmental factors play a crucial role in land development.

Langan’s leadership has emphasized that the acquisition aligns with the company’s long-term vision of expanding its presence in key growth markets. By integrating ATR’s operations, Langan strengthens its ability to provide site development services that meet evolving industry standards and client needs.

Industry experts suggest that as Texas continues to experience economic expansion, the demand for engineering and environmental services will remain high. Companies with a strong regional presence and deep market knowledge are well-positioned to secure major contracts in infrastructure, commercial real estate, and mixed-use developments.

A Strategic Growth Move in a Competitive Industry

This acquisition marks Langan’s third in Texas, underscoring its commitment to scaling operations in a highly competitive industry. The company has been steadily increasing its footprint nationwide, offering a comprehensive range of engineering and environmental consulting services to clients across various sectors.

Langan’s expertise spans geotechnical engineering, environmental remediation, site development, and regulatory compliance. The integration of ATR’s team is expected to bolster Langan’s ability to deliver complex projects efficiently, particularly in Houston’s rapidly developing commercial corridors.

Texas has been a prime focus for engineering firms looking to expand their market share due to its pro-business environment, population growth, and increasing investment in infrastructure. The acquisition of ATR Engineering positions Langan to take advantage of these trends while strengthening its relationships with developers, contractors, and public agencies.

Expanding Langan’s National and International Presence

Beyond Texas, Langan continues to grow its national and international operations. The company, founded in 1970, has established itself as a leading engineering and environmental consulting firm, employing 1,800 professionals across 50 U.S. offices. With major locations in New York, Florida, California, Illinois, and other key markets, Langan is recognized for its ability to manage large-scale projects across diverse industries.

Langan’s international division, Langan International, operates from offices in London, Panama, Calgary, Athens, and Dubai, extending the company’s reach into global markets. As the demand for engineering and environmental services continues to rise worldwide, Langan remains focused on strategic acquisitions that enhance its technical capabilities and geographic coverage.

Future Growth and Market Opportunities

The integration of ATR Engineering is expected to accelerate Langan’s ability to serve clients in Texas, particularly in sectors such as logistics, industrial development, and large-scale residential projects. As urban expansion continues, engineering firms with strong regulatory expertise and technical proficiency will play a critical role in shaping sustainable growth.

With its expanded team and strengthened Texas presence, Langan is positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in site engineering, environmental impact assessments, and infrastructure development. The company’s ongoing investment in talent and technology reinforces its ability to provide innovative solutions in a rapidly evolving industry.
