Long Tree merges with KLJ Engineering
Lone Tree Engineering Services has merged with KLJ Engineering and will focus on the firm’s oil and gas practice, according to a statement.
Already working together on projects for several years, KLJ expects that the addition of Lone Tree Engineering will create the opportunity to provide enhanced services in the oil and gas industry’s upstream and midstream sectors throughout the Rocky Mountain region, Midwest, and Southwest.
Together, the firms bring decades of experience and expertise in services related to the oil and gas industry, specifically upstream and midstream facility designs, pipeline designs, well pad and road designs, survey, environmental, and right-of-way services.
“Our alignment with Lone Tree reflects the passion both firms have for supporting oil and gas clients and our communities with innovative and accurate solutions for projects of all sizes and complexity,” said KLJ Engineering CEO Eric Michel.
With the addition of the Lone Tree team, KLJ will have nearly 45 employee-owners in Colorado and look to bring their expertise to multiple new areas.
“We look forward to expanding the resources and expertise we have brought to our clients over the years with the additional resources of KLJ. Our teams have worked together successfully for a few years now and we are excited about this more formal relationship,” said Bill McConaghie, President and Principal at Lone Tree.
