Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• AFRY: AFRY (formerly Pöyry/ÅF) is a Sweden-based global engineering, design and consulting firm with one of the world's largest dedicated hydropower practices. Directly comparable to WestGlen as a hydropower-focused engineering consultancy, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Knight Piésold: Knight Piésold is a specialised international engineering consultancy focused on dams, hydropower, and water resources. Closely mirrors WestGlen's niche positioning in hydropower consulting, with a similar project-management and troubleshooting orientation.
• Norconsult: Norconsult is a Norway-headquartered engineering consultancy with one of the strongest hydropower portfolios globally, particularly in pumped storage. Directly comparable specialist competitor to WestGlen on hydro project management and troubleshooting.
• Stucky (Gruner): Stucky, now part of Gruner, is a Swiss engineering firm historically specialised in dams and hydropower. Like WestGlen, it combines technical consulting with hands-on project management on large hydro schemes globally.
• McMillen Jacobs Associates: McMillen Jacobs Associates is a US-headquartered specialist engineering firm focused on hydropower, dams, and underground/tunnel works. Highly comparable to WestGlen, including for tunnel-collapse recovery work like the Shuakhevi mandate.
• Tractebel: Tractebel (Engie group, Belgium) is a major engineering consultancy with a flagship hydropower and dams practice. Competes with WestGlen for owner's-engineer and project-management mandates on large hydro and pumped-storage schemes worldwide.

Broad incumbents

• Mott MacDonald: Mott MacDonald is a major UK-headquartered engineering consultancy and former employer of WestGlen founder Martin Lacey. Competes in hydropower consulting as part of a much broader infrastructure portfolio.
• Artelia: Artelia is a France-based engineering group with a hydropower practice that competes for similar owner's-engineer scopes — notably an existing WestGlen client on the World Bank-funded Mt. Coffee hydro-solar hybrid project in Liberia.
• Stantec (MWH): Stantec acquired MWH Global in 2016 and now operates one of the largest water/hydropower consulting practices globally. Competes with WestGlen across broader infrastructure mandates but offers far greater scale and diversification.

Emerging players

• Eloxson: Eloxson is a Canadian specialised engineering firm providing power system modelling, NERC compliance, and excitation/governor commissioning services to hydropower operators. Comparable as a small niche hydropower-services firm and an existing WestGlen strategic partner.
