Headquartered in Austin, Texas, The Whiddon Group has delivered utility management, identification, coordination, inspection, and conflict analysis services on projects for departments of transportation, design-build, and other contractors, engineering firms, and utility companies. Their services complement SAM's current utility engineering business and help expand the company's service capacity, expertise, and client responsiveness across the transportation market sector.
SAM continues to expand its geographic footprint and service offerings through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. This acquisition continues SAM's expansion, with this being SAM's 10th acquisition in five years.
"We are very pleased to bring The Whiddon Group's strengths to the SAM team," said SAM President and CEO, Chris Solomon. "Their expertise and talented team will be a great addition to our utility engineering group, providing greater capacity and capabilities."
Key Whiddon staff will be joining the SAM team as part of the acquisition, including President David Whiddon, who will continue to focus on business development, project management, and operations.
"Joining SAM is a great fit for our company," Whiddon said. "The national scope and range of SAM's suite of services will bring new opportunities for growth and development for our team, and greater value to our clients."
