Ardurra Expands Northeast Engineering Footprint with Acquisition of Remington & Vernick Engineers
Ardurra Group, Inc., a nationally recognized provider of engineering, design, and consulting services, announced today the acquisition of Remington & Vernick Engineers (RVE), a prominent full-service engineering firm specializing in water and municipal infrastructure in the Northeastern United States. This strategic acquisition strengthens Ardurra’s presence in the Northeast, expanding its capabilities and workforce while combining two firms with rich histories of engineering excellence.
Ardurra, ranked #75 on Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) Top 500 list, has earned a reputation for delivering complex engineering and design solutions to both public and private sector clients across the U.S. The company’s portfolio spans transportation, water resources, municipal infrastructure, environmental engineering, and construction management, with a focus on innovation, technical excellence, and sustainable solutions. The acquisition of RVE aligns with Ardurra’s growth strategy to enhance regional market presence while leveraging complementary expertise and deep local relationships.
Founded in 1901, RVE is one of the oldest established engineering consulting firms in the United States. With over 500 professionals across 14 offices, RVE has built a legacy of providing design, planning, and construction management/inspection services across water, municipal, transportation, and other infrastructure markets. RVE was ranked #248 on ENR’s Top 500 list and has long been recognized for delivering high-quality, client-focused engineering solutions throughout the Northeast.
“We’re truly honored to have a firm with this kind of history and impact join Ardurra,” said Ernesto Aguilar, PE, President and CEO of Ardurra. “RVE has served its communities for more than a century, and we’re excited about the future we can build together. This acquisition provides a powerful new platform in the Northeast, combining Ardurra’s national reach with RVE’s strong regional expertise. We are committed to welcoming RVE’s team into our people-first culture and continuing to grow together to better serve our clients.”
RVE’s President and CEO, Leonard Faiola, PE, PP, CME, emphasized the significance of the partnership for both the firm and its clients. “Joining forces with Ardurra is an opportunity to expand our capabilities while continuing our strong tradition of delivering quality engineering services,” Faiola said. “As we celebrate our 125th anniversary this year, we are proud of RVE’s legacy and excited about this next step in our evolution. Our clients will benefit from enhanced expertise, innovative tools, and a broader range of services while maintaining the local presence and relationships they have relied on for decades.”
Under the acquisition agreement, RVE will continue to operate from its primary office in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, alongside its 13 additional offices across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and North Carolina. This ensures continuity for clients and employees while enabling both firms to collaborate closely on projects, share best practices, and offer expanded solutions to complex engineering challenges. Together, Ardurra and RVE now comprise a combined workforce of approximately 2,600 employees across more than 120 offices nationwide, creating one of the largest and most diversified engineering platforms in the country.
The acquisition reinforces Ardurra’s strategic goal of growing through complementary partnerships with firms that share its values and client-focused approach. Both organizations emphasize innovation, technical excellence, and community impact. Ardurra has a history of acquiring and integrating regional leaders into its national platform, allowing teams to maintain their local identity while benefiting from the resources, technical expertise, and broad service offerings of a national firm.
Financial advisory support for the transaction was provided exclusively by AEC Advisors through its registered broker-dealer affiliate, AEC Transaction Services LLC. Their guidance facilitated a smooth transaction, ensuring alignment of strategic objectives and maximizing value for both parties.
The addition of RVE’s technical expertise enhances Ardurra’s capacity to deliver integrated engineering solutions, particularly in water, municipal, and transportation infrastructure projects. The combined team strengthens Ardurra’s ability to pursue large-scale projects, support public agencies and private developers, and provide innovative, sustainable solutions across multiple markets.
“This acquisition highlights Ardurra’s commitment to expanding its geographic footprint and service offerings while maintaining the highest standards of client service,” Aguilar added. “By integrating RVE into our national platform, we can offer clients in the Northeast an even broader range of engineering solutions supported by a larger, experienced team and advanced technical capabilities.”
For RVE employees and clients, the partnership provides increased access to resources, knowledge-sharing opportunities, and career growth potential. Employees will benefit from Ardurra’s robust professional development programs, technical training, and national project opportunities, while clients gain the reliability and capacity of a larger, well-capitalized engineering organization.
As Ardurra and RVE begin this new chapter together, both organizations are focused on continuity and excellence. Projects currently underway will proceed without interruption, ensuring that local communities continue to receive the high-quality engineering and planning services they have come to expect.
The integration of RVE into Ardurra’s platform represents a mutually beneficial relationship: it preserves RVE’s regional expertise and client relationships while providing the infrastructure, resources, and scale to address increasingly complex projects. With more than a century of combined experience and a shared commitment to technical excellence, the two firms are poised to make a lasting impact on infrastructure development and community enhancement across the Northeast and beyond.
