What R.O. Anderson does

R.O. Anderson is a privately held civil engineering firm headquartered in Minden, Nevada, founded in 1989. Per firmographic inputs it operates with 11–50 employees and specializes in planning, surveying, site development, residential design, and water resources. The firm is positioned as a regional professional services provider serving local development and water-resource mandates.

The aggregated source material accompanying this profile contains a substantially larger body of detail that appears to describe a separate but related entity, Wilson Engineers LLC — a water-infrastructure engineering firm founded in 1985, operating with 200+ professionals and support personnel across Arizona and Nevada, and affiliated with the Trilon Group as a portfolio company. Wilson Engineers delivers a full suite of nine service lines spanning water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, distribution systems, collection systems, reclaimed water, electrical instrumentation and controls, master planning, construction administration and inspection, and asset management for both municipal and private-sector clients. Its revenue model is professional services on a project-based engagement basis, with direct enterprise field sales to public and private water infrastructure buyers, and it claims $1B+ in cumulative construction project value delivered over its 39-year operating history.

Because the available evidence contains a significant scale and identity mismatch between the R.O. Anderson firmographic record and the Wilson Engineers data blocks, this description reflects the inputs as provided and flags the discrepancy. R.O. Anderson as captured in firmographics appears to be a smaller Nevada-based civil engineering practice, while the broader Wilson Engineers data represents a substantially larger, multi-state, Trilon-affiliated water-infrastructure platform; any consolidation, merger, or branding relationship between the two is not established in the source material.
