Burgess Engineering & Testing

What Burgess Engineering & Testing does

Burgess Engineering and Testing, Inc. is a privately held civil engineering firm and construction materials testing laboratory headquartered in a single facility at 809 NW 34th Street, Moore, Oklahoma. The firm provides geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, and third-party inspection services primarily to civil infrastructure contractors, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and municipal transportation agencies, and engineering design firms operating in Oklahoma. Its service portfolio spans roadway and bridge geotechnical investigations, slope stability and foundation analysis, drilling to 140 feet depth with hollow-stem and mud-rotary rigs, routine and advanced laboratory testing (triaxial, direct shear, consolidation, resilient modulus), pavement evaluation using Falling Weight Deflectometer and Ground Penetrating Radar, ODOT-certified Superpave HVEEM asphalt mix design, and hydrovac potholing for utility location.

The business is built around a four-person team consisting of an Operational Engineer (Dalia Maraqa), a Ph.D.-credentialed Project Manager (Abdelfatah Ali), an Office Manager (Leeanna Stephenson), and an Engineer in Training (Jose Velazquez). The technical toolkit combines industry-standard engineering software (AASHTOWare ME Design, Darwin) with specialized field equipment, and the firm cites cumulative experience on more than $1 billion of engineering and construction projects as a primary credential.

Burgess operates a project-based professional services model with custom quotes typically returned within one to three days. All customer engagement is direct, via phone, fax, email, on-site visits, or sample drop-off at the Moore facility. The company is locally owned and operated, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding, and serves exclusively the Oklahoma market.

Broad incumbents

• WSP USA (formerly Parsons Brinckerhoff): Global professional services firm with large transportation and infrastructure practices including geotechnical engineering. Significant overlap with Burgess' core capabilities as part of a much broader design and PM portfolio.
• Terracon Consultants: One of the largest U.S. geotechnical, environmental, and materials testing consultancies with national coverage. Directly comparable service mix (geotechnical, CMT, drilling, in-situ testing) but at materially greater scale and geographic reach than Burgess.
• Wood Environment & Infrastructure: Global engineering and consulting firm with significant geotechnical, materials testing, and inspection capabilities. Broader incumbent with overlapping service lines on transportation and infrastructure projects.
• Kleinfelder: National engineering consulting firm offering geotechnical engineering, materials testing, and construction inspection services. Overlaps significantly with Burgess' core offering but operates with hundreds of offices and a much broader portfolio.
• Atlas Technical Consultants: Publicly traded provider of professional testing, inspection, and engineering services including geotechnical and construction materials testing. Comparable scope to Burgess but operates nationally across multiple service lines.
• Professional Service Industries (PSI): National construction materials testing, geotechnical, and environmental firm under Intertek. Competes head-to-head with Burgess for DOT and private construction testing work, with broader geographic reach and supporting lab network.

Direct peers

• TTL Inc. Employee-owned engineering firm providing geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials testing across the southern U.S. Similar service portfolio, customer base (transportation agencies, contractors), and scale profile.
• Braun Intertec: Mid-sized employee-owned geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials testing firm with strong Midwest and South-Central U.S. presence. Closely comparable in service mix, customer type (DOTs/contractors), and operational model to Burgess.
• ECS Group of Companies: Regional geotechnical and construction materials testing consultancy operating across the eastern and central U.S. Comparable service lines (geotechnical, CMT, special inspections) and serves many of the same DOT/general contractor end markets.
• Tolunay-Wong Engineers: Geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials engineering firm headquartered in Texas with Gulf Coast/South-Central operations. Closely matched business model and DOT/private client mix to Burgess.
