Market intelligence for environmental consultants, executives & investors

As one of the largest engineering design and support services firms worldwide with over 50,000 staff, URS Corporation has established a major presence in the global environmental consultancy sector through a series of mega mergers over the last 20 years. These included the landmark acquisition of Dames & Moore in 1999. In its home market, the URS business has a strong focus on the government/defence sectors, but its environmental consultancy activities in the UK are much more dependent on industry/commercial clients.
