Montreal – AtkinsRéalis [SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.] (TSX: ATRL), a fully integrated professional services and project management company with offices around the world, has been awarded a contract to provide general engineering services (GES) for the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT). AtkinsRéalis has been supporting Georgia DOT with on-call professional services since 2000 and currently holds ten such contracts statewide.
“Our successful track record supported by our full range of architectural, design and engineering services is why our long-standing clients continue to entrust us with delivering transportation systems focused on innovation, safety, sustainability and mobility,” said Ian L.
