Meshek’s footprint strengthens WSB’S presence in the southern U.S.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. — WSB LLC (“WSB”), one of the nation’s fastest growing infrastructure engineering and consulting firms, today announced the acquisition of Meshek & Associates, LLC. (“Meshek”), a specialized civil engineering firm based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The strategic addition of Meshek will strengthen WSB’s service offerings and presence in Oklahoma.
“WSB is evolving into a national brand,” announced Bret Weiss, WSB’s president and CEO. “Oklahoma is making significant investments in its infrastructure, boasts a growing economy, and ranks among the top states for job creation, which gives us access to a robust talent pool. Meshek enjoys an excellent reputation and is an ideal fit with our culture and entrepreneurial spirit. We are excited to expand on their success by providing additional services.”
The acquisition of Meshek brings three offices and more than 50 employees into WSB. Combined, WSB now operates over 50 offices with more than 1,500 employees nationwide to serve its clients across the government, commercial and energy markets.
“WSB is a robust and expanding company that aligns perfectly with Meshek and our clients,” stated Brandon Claborn, CEO of Meshek. “For many years, we have been dedicated to providing top-tier service to our clients. By joining WSB, which shares this unwavering dedication, we are excited to gain additional expertise and resources to serve our clients and enhance their strengths and achievements by offering additional services.”
WSB and Meshek will work together to develop a single go-to market approach as WSB in early 2025. This represents WSB’s third acquisition in the last 13 months. In September 2023, the firm acquired Oklahoma-based EST, a 350-person transportation infrastructure engineering firm and in February 2024, WSB acquired Florida-based AE Engineering, a 180-person construction, engineering and inspection (CE&I) firm.
