Louis Berger Group

What Louis Berger Group does

Louis Berger Group is a US-headquartered engineering and professional services firm founded in 1953 in Morristown, New Jersey, specializing in infrastructure consulting, environmental services, operations and maintenance, heritage resource management, and program management. The firm serves government transportation authorities as a general consultant on large-scale infrastructure projects — most notably as part of the DB Hill-LBG consortium (with Deutsche Bahn Engineering & Consulting and Hill International) acting as general consultant for Mumbai Metro Line 4 and its 4A extension, awarded in 2018. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts awarded via government procurement, typically delivered through consortium arrangements rather than as a sole prime. Headcount is reported in the 5,001–10,000 range, consistent with a mid-to-large engineering consultancy. The company was recently acquired by WSP, a global engineering and professional services firm, and now operates as a portfolio company within WSP's broader transportation and infrastructure practice.
