Atwell has acquired the operations of Capital Civil Engineering (CCE), a well-established engineering firm based in Apex, North Carolina. This strategic move enhances Atwell’s presence in North Carolina and strengthens its footprint across the Southeast region.
With over 15 years of experience, CCE is widely respected for its capabilities in engineering design, site and land planning, and stormwater management. The firm, founded by Michael Kane and co-owned by Michael McQuillen, brings a wealth of expertise from both regional and national projects.
“At CCE, we’ve built a strong reputation for delivering quality work and exceeding client expectations,” said Kane. “Joining forces with Atwell, a company that shares our values and dedication to excellence, allows us to offer greater opportunities for our clients and employees.”
Ron Waldrop, Senior Vice President at Atwell, praised the addition: “CCE’s diverse project portfolio and commitment to client success align perfectly with our mission. We’re excited to collaborate with their talented team and further support our clients throughout North Carolina and beyond.”
This acquisition marks Atwell’s third in 2025, following its January acquisition of SEI Engineering in Georgia and the February addition of Arizona-based Terrascape Consulting.
Atwell, LLC is a national consulting, engineering, and construction services firm with a team of over 1,700 professionals. Serving a broad range of industries including real estate, energy, hydrocarbons, and infrastructure, Atwell delivers comprehensive solutions ranging from planning and surveying to environmental compliance and program management.
