MACTEC was among the largest engineering design companies in the United States.[1] The company provided engineering, environmental, and construction services to private- and public-sector clients. MACTEC was based in Denver, Colorado until 2002, when they merged with LAW Engineering and the headquarters were moved to Alpharetta, Georgia. At that time they employed 3100 staff in 80 locations,[1] with capability in more than 50 scientific and engineering disciplines. The company consisted primarily of two primary operating entities.
- MACTEC Engineering and Consulting (MEC): MEC provided engineering, environmental consulting and remediation, facility lifecycle management, sustainable design, and construction consulting. Special services include disaster response and recovery, and building engineering for LEED certification.
- MACTEC Development Corporation (MDC): MDC provided construction and demolition, nuclear decontamination and decommissioning (D&D), hazmat remediation, risk management, and radiological services.
