Even in tough economic times, CH2M Hill continues to build its services and push into new markets. The Denver-based engineering giant that’s best known for its work in water and wastewater infrastructure—including the new $653-million Prairie Waters water-purification and recycling system for Aurora, Colo.—hasn’t let the post-recessionary economy slow its plans.
