Collins Acquires Las Vegas-based Civil Squared Engineering

Collins Engineers, Inc. has merged with Civil Squared Engineering, a Nevada engineering firm established in 1988 that provides site/civil, drainage, and traffic and transportation engineering services to top private and public sector clients in Nevada and the southwest United States. The acquisition substantially increases Collins’ ability to provide site civil engineering services and provides an additional base for Collins’ activities in the western United States.

“The union of Collins and Civil Squared will enable us to grow and expand our ability to provide civil and structural engineering services in the southwest United States,” says Tom Collins, President. “However, our first step is ensuring that quality is maintained during this transition and into the future.”

Members of the transition team from Civil Squared include:

• Kenneth J.

Ken is a registered Professional Engineer in Nevada and nine other states.
• Tom Miller, P.E.—Tom has over seventeen years of experience in traffic and transportation related projects in both the public and private sectors. As the Senior Transportation Manager he will be responsible for all transportation and municipal related work in Nevada.
