IMEG, a United States engineering design firm based in Quad Cities, has acquired KMCE, a Dallas, Texas-based company specialising in subsurface utility engineering and underground infrastructure services, according to Quad Cities Business Journal.

The acquisition strengthens IMEG's capabilities in utility locating, damage prevention and risk mitigation, expanding service offerings for public and private sector clients.

Founded in 2018, KMCE brings specialised expertise in subsurface utility engineering and underground infrastructure support, having completed hundreds of projects throughout Texas and the southern United States.

The firm focuses on utility locating and damage prevention, leveraging advanced technology and industry best practices to accurately identify underground utilities and deliver critical data supporting infrastructure, construction and engineering projects.

Paul VanDuyne, president and CEO of IMEG, said the company is pleased to welcome KMCE as it continues to grow subsurface utility engineering and underground infrastructure services.

"KMCE has built a strong reputation across Texas for delivering precise utility locating and risk-mitigation solutions that support safe, efficient project delivery," he stated.

Their focused expertise enhances IMEG's ability to provide clients with proactive infrastructure insight and integrated engineering solutions from planning through construction.

Joey Whiteside, director of operations at KMCE, said joining IMEG represents an exciting new chapter for the team and clients.

"By combining our expertise with IMEG's national platform and multidisciplinary resources, we are well positioned to expand our impact and deliver even greater value," he stated.

The partnership enables the company to scale capabilities whilst continuing to provide responsive service, technical precision and risk-mitigation solutions clients rely on.

Whiteside will continue with IMEG in an operations leadership role. KMCE will operate from its Dallas office, conducting business as KMCE, now IMEG whilst the team integrates into IMEG operations.
