What Anderson Engineering Company Inc. does

Anderson Engineering Company Inc. (operating as Anderson Psomas) is a multi-discipline engineering consultancy headquartered in Saratoga Springs, Utah, providing civil, structural, and environmental engineering alongside land surveying. Founded in 1985 and operating with 101–250 employees, the firm delivers project-based professional services across residential, commercial, mining/industrial, and government end markets, with licensure in seven western US states (Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas). Its core service portfolio integrates site planning and infrastructure design (civil), seismic-zone structural design for Utah conditions, environmental permitting and Phase I/II site assessments compliant with SBA/HUD requirements, mining reclamation work under UMTRCA and Superfund programs, and surveying using GPS, robotic total stations, and drone-based LiDAR.

The firm's underlying technology stack centers on the proprietary R3TMP (Right Tools, Right Methods, Right People) delivery process, integrated with LiDAR-equipped drones capable of 1–3 cm accuracy and 5x the data-capture speed of on-foot surveying at materially lower per-acre cost (~$30–$120/acre vs. $500–$1,000/acre). Building Information Modeling (BIM) and GIS mapping workflows support cut/fill calculations, virtual sight-line analysis, solar studies, and contamination hotspot identification. Personnel maintain HAZWOPER, MSHA, and OSHA certifications, supporting a 24+ year recordable-incident-free track record across more than 5,000 completed projects.

The business model is professional services with project-based pricing quoted per engagement. Phase I Environmental Site Assessments are standardized at approximately $1,500 with priority tiers and custom quotes for complex or rural sites; surveying and engineering fees scale with scope. The go-to-market combines principal-led consultative selling, free phone consultation conversion, SEO-driven content, and direct enterprise engagement with developers, mining operators, and government entities. The firm reports a 95% client retention rate and historic projects including the LDS Conference Center, the Bluewater Uranium Mill reclamation, and Rio Tinto Kennecott soil remediation, alongside an international engagement in Tanzania.

Emerging players

• SLR Consulting: Global environmental and advisory consultancy with strong US environmental, mining, and infrastructure practices. Comparable to Anderson on environmental site assessment, mining remediation, and EHS compliance work, with broader geographic reach.
• Montrose Environmental Group: Fast-growing environmental testing, advisory, and remediation services firm. Direct overlap with Anderson's Phase I/II ESA, environmental permitting, and air/water quality services, but with a national footprint and aggressive M&A-led growth strategy.

Direct peers

• Psomas: Western US-based civil engineering, surveying, and environmental consulting firm. Anderson Engineering currently operates as 'Anderson Psomas,' indicating a direct affiliation or merger with Psomas that makes it the closest structural peer in the Intermountain West engineering market.
• Kimley-Horn: Privately held US planning, engineering, and surveying consultancy with strong land development, transportation, and environmental practices. Competes head-to-head with Anderson in civil/site engineering and land surveying across Western US markets.
• Haley & Aldrich: US environmental and geotechnical engineering consultancy specializing in site assessment, remediation, and compliance. Comparable to Anderson's Phase I/II ESA, environmental permitting, and brownfield work with a similar mid-sized, technically focused delivery model.
• Brown and Caldwell: US environmental engineering and consulting firm focused on water, environmental remediation, and compliance. Comparable to Anderson's environmental services, mining remediation, and stormwater management practices.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with major environmental remediation, civil engineering, and surveying practices. Competes with Anderson for mining remediation, environmental permitting, and large civil infrastructure engagements at the upper end of project scale.
• Arcadis: International design and consultancy with strong environmental, water, and remediation practices. Directly comparable to Anderson's environmental site assessment, brownfield redevelopment, and mining remediation work, but at global scale.
• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm with deep environmental services, water, and earth observation practices. Overlaps directly with Anderson's environmental permitting, Phase I/II ESA, and mining remediation practices but at vastly larger scale and global footprint.
• Stantec: International engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with strong US Mountain West presence. Competes across civil engineering, surveying, environmental due diligence, and infrastructure—directly overlapping Anderson's multi-disciplinary service portfolio.
