For nearly 30 years, HR Green has proudly served the Houston region—delivering infrastructure solutions that improve mobility, manage water resources, and enhance the communities where we live and work. Now, with the acquisition of Gauge Engineering, we’re strengthening our local presence and expanding our technical experience to better serve our clients across the region.
A Strategic Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
Gauge Engineering, known for its strengths in stormwater management and transportation engineering, had reached a pivotal point in its growth. To continue delivering high-quality solutions while expanding service offerings, they sought a partner who shared their core values: client-focused service, technical excellence, and a commitment to employee development.
“We were looking for a partner that was client-focused, employee-focused, and technically focused,” said Derek St. John. “HR Green checked every single box — and then some.”
With this acquisition, Gauge’s experienced professionals are now leading our expanded Houston operations—bringing continuity to existing projects and introducing new capabilities under one entity.
Expanding Services to Meet Houston’s Infrastructure Needs
Houston continues to invest heavily in infrastructure, from flood mitigation to transportation improvements. With the addition of the Gauge team, we’re better positioned than ever to support these efforts.
“Joining HR Green is going to give us the opportunity to provide more services outside of transportation and water—like traffic engineering, wastewater, and environmental services,” shared Muhammad Ali.
Together, we now offer an expanded range of services including:
- Broadband and utility infrastructure solutions – approaching your initiatives both from a municipal and communications perspective
- Advanced stormwater management – such as 2D flood modeling for more effective mitigation strategies
- Comprehensive transportation planning and traffic analysis – enhancing roadway safety and efficiency
- Water and wastewater engineering – expanding our in-house capabilities for water treatment and conveyance
- Structural engineering – improving the design and longevity of critical infrastructure projects
A Stronger Local Team, Backed by National Resources
While we’re a national firm with over 100 years of experience, our approach remains deeply local. Our expanded Houston team brings decades of experience in the region—ensuring our clients continue working with the trusted professionals they know, now backed by a broader team and deeper resources.
“We now have access to over 800 employees throughout the country that we can tap into to bring to Houston and take care of our clients,” said Ali.
This growth also means exciting opportunities for our people. Through leadership training, project management programs, and access to a nationwide network of peers and mentors, we’re continuing to invest in the success of our team.
“At our core, we are infrastructure problem solvers. This partnership allows us to dive deeper into our mission—reducing flooding, improving mobility, and making our communities safer,” said St. John.
Looking Ahead: One Team, One Vision for Houston
As we unite with the Gauge team, our clients can expect a seamless transition, expanded knowledge, and the same commitment to excellence that has defined both firms for years. With a stronger team, a broader range of services, and a shared drive to innovate, we’re excited about what’s next for Houston’s infrastructure future.
