From Argentina to Zimbabwe, Black & Veatch provides the ABCs of construction and engineering. The firm engages in all phases of building projects -- from design and engineering, through financing and procurement, to construction. Since 1915 Black & Veatch has handled jobs that have run the gamut from the elegant (reconstructing a Renaissance building in Prague) to the industrial (building a coal-fired power plant in Central America). With more than 90 offices worldwide, the company mainly caters to the infrastructure, process, and power markets. Other Black & Veatch markets include high-tech, information technology, financial management consulting, telecommunications, and transportation infrastructure.
