TMC, a leading transportation engineering roadway, traffic, and planning firm backed by Grovecourt Capital Partners, today announced the acquisition of WBQ Design & Engineering (“WBQ”), a Florida based transportation engineering firm serving public sector clients throughout the state.

WBQ brings deep transportation engineering expertise to the TMC platform, and longstanding relationships with the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”), Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, Central Florida Expressway Authority, and other public sector clients. The acquisition further expands TMC’s capabilities and strengthens its presence across Florida’s transportation engineering market.

Founded in 1994, WBQ has established a strong reputation for technical expertise, responsiveness and client service. The firm’s capabilities and relationships are highly complementary to TMC’s existing platform, creating additional opportunities to serve clients across a broader range of transportation and infrastructure projects.

“We are excited to welcome the WBQ team to TMC,” said Matt Ryan, CEO of TMC. “WBQ has built an excellent reputation in the Florida transportation market, with strong technical capabilities and deep relationships with FDOT and other key clients. The team is a great cultural and technical fit with TMC, and we look forward to combining our capabilities and continuing to build a leading transportation engineering firm across Florida and the southeastern United States.”

“Joining TMC is an exciting next chapter for WBQ and our team,” said Derek Burke, Co-Founder and President of WBQ Engineering. “TMC shares our commitment to our people, our clients and the communities we serve. We are excited about the opportunity to leverage the resources and capabilities of the broader TMC platform while continuing to deliver the high level of service our clients expect.”

The acquisition of WBQ represents the latest step in TMC’s strategy of building a leading transportation engineering platform serving clients throughout the Southeast. WBQ further strengthens TMC’s presence in Florida and enhances its ability to serve public agencies and infrastructure clients with a broader range of technical expertise and resources. The addition also reflects TMC’s continued commitment to investing in talented professionals, broadening its capabilities and building lasting client relationships.
