Zachry Engineering Corp. burst out of the recession with a full head of steam. On the heels of a tough couple of years, the design arm of Zachry Holdings is back among the region's powerhouse firms. After its regional revenue dropped from $124.5 million in 2009 to $41.4 million in 2011, the company more than doubled the total in 2012, reaching $90.4 million. That secured it eighth place on the current list of top design firms in Texas and Louisiana.
Zachry held its ground in the down years, retaining key personnel and positioning itself to take advantage of the region's significant power sector demands in the coming years. In light of its recent success, ENR Texas & Louisiana names Zachry Engineering Corp. its 2013 Design Firm of the Year.
