Project: On-Call Consulting Services
Client: Technologists, Inc.
Location: Kabul, Afghanistan
Description:
Technologists, Inc. with offices in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and the United States selected R.O. Anderson Engineering on January 27, 2010 to provide civil engineering consulting services for their Afghanistan office.
Historically a mid-sized firm working locally in the Northern Nevada and California region of the U.S., this is R.O. Anderson’s first contract for international work. Technologists, Inc. provides management and engineering services to clients around the globe and R.O. Anderson is pleased to be assisting them with their work in Afghanistan.
The contract will involve a wide range of civil engineering consulting and design services such as package sewer treatment plants, road design, drainage design and pavement design assistance on an as-needed basis.
R.O. Anderson’s Director of Engineering Jeremy Hutchings has been working on the contract.
“We’ve been trying to break into the international market for some time now; however, our lack of overseas contacts has made it difficult. We are really pleased with this opportunity and seeing where it might lead. We live in a global economy, and these days even small firms need to think globally in order to survive and grow; and with today’s technology there’s no reason in the world why we can’t.”
R.O. Anderson will be teaming with Black Eagle Consulting, Inc. based out of Reno, Nevada to provide geotechnical engineering services in addition to the civil design services. This is an exciting opportunity for the once-regional and now international firm.
