Herbert, Rowland and Grubic Inc. has acquired Becker Engineering, LLC, a civil engineering firm with 12 employees based in Lancaster County.

“Its services closely align to HRG’s with a strong emphasis on municipal engineering, water, wastewater, and hydrogeology,” a news release said. “HRG will maintain the office location, and all Becker Engineering employees will report to HRG’s Harrisburg operations, which are led by Matt Bonanno as assistant vice president.”

The acquisition allows HRG to expand its services into Lancaster, Lebanon, and Chester counties, the news release said.

“One of our strategies is to aggressively expand in both the municipal and utilities sectors and geographically across the eastern portion of Pennsylvania. HRG has a strong existing presence with both employees and clients in the region, and we believe there is significant growth potential for us there in the longer term.” said Jason Fralick, HRG’s president and CEO, according to the news release.

As part of the acquisition, HRG will bring on all Becker Engineering employees and will assume all Becker Engineering clients and projects within the region.

HRG assists with the planning, design, and management of community infrastructure, optimizing places for health, prosperity, and enjoyment with a focus on long-term value, according to the news release. The foundation of its work is civil engineering, but it has diverse expertise in community planning, landscape architecture, environmental compliance, data and technology, and sustainability. The firm has 11 offices in Pennsylvania, including Lewisburg, West Virginia, and Ohio.
