HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Nov. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NV5 Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVEE) (“NV5” or the “Company”), a professional engineering and consulting solutions provider, announced today that it has been awarded a contract amendment with a Southern California utility for $6 million. The new contract brings NV5’s total awarded fire hardening contracts to $28 million over the past two years. The amended contract, which begins immediately and adds to the Company’s ongoing work, addresses risk by modernizing the utility’s electric system infrastructure in fire prone areas.
Investor and municipal-owned utilities have responded to the increasing threat of wildfires in the West by making fire hardening and fire risk mitigation top priorities. NV5 has observed this increased focus firsthand and is well positioned to support mitigation and response activities. In addition to the fire hardening work in Southern California, NV5 recently began working with strategic partners to support utilities impacted by fires in Northern California. NV5 employees have also volunteered with California’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) to help communities impacted by the devastating Camp Fire.
“Our clients are charged with safely delivering energy to their customers and must enhance their infrastructure to withstand extreme weather conditions,” said Doug Taft, Director of Power Delivery at NV5. “Since 2014, our clients have counted on NV5’s fire hardening experience and multidisciplinary capabilities to efficiently execute their mitigation plans, improve reliability, and enable them to respond to their customers’ needs.”
Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5 said, “Utility fire hardening programs combine two of NV5’s strengths: power delivery engineering and disaster preparation, response, and recovery services. These projects also utilize all of NV5’s five verticals and demonstrate the added value our combined services provide to our clients and our communities.”
