AtkinsRéalis acquires Australia-based Engineering Consultancy ADG Engineers

MONTREAL, Dec. 1, 2025 /CNW/ - AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. (TSX: ATRL), a world-class engineering services and nuclear company with offices around the world, announced today that it has acquired ADG Capital Pty Ltd ("ADG"), an Australian engineering consultancy specializing in structural and civil engineering, construction services, and digital advisory.

This acquisition is a step towards AtkinsRéalis' ambition to build a larger scale presence in the Australian market. The addition of ADG's approximately 250 professionals to AtkinsRéalis' existing team creates an enhanced resource pool to capitalize on Australia's significant investment programs in infrastructure and other high growth customer end-markets, such as Defence and Power & Renewables in which AtkinsRéalis has recognized capabilities. Founded in 2002, ADG has a strong track record of long-term growth and a reputation for technical innovation, and is known for successfully delivering complex projects for its clients. The combination of ADG's entrepreneurial spirit and local presence with AtkinsRéalis' global scale creates a strong set of customer solution offerings in this key growth market.

"This is an exciting moment for our business in Australia, as we continue our 'Delivering Excellence, Driving Growth' strategy." said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of AtkinsRéalis. "We are intent on building a business in Australia that feels different to work in and partner with – and this acquisition is a step forward on this journey. Combining ADG's responsiveness and client focus in local project delivery with our global platform will support the next phase of growth in our AMEA region. We warmly welcome our new colleagues from ADG and look forward to building our future together."

"The ADG team brings a depth of local knowledge, a closely aligned culture and an agile delivery model that complements our existing presence in Australia," said Richard Robinson, President, AMEA, AtkinsRéalis. "Together, we will be strengthening our position to meet the complex challenges of major infrastructure projects and help shape the future of Australia's cities and regions."

The addition of ADG's local expertise to AtkinsRéalis' global capabilities will provide enhanced value and a broader service offering to clients of both firms.

"Joining AtkinsRéalis builds on the momentum we've created at ADG and takes it further," said Marco Ficca, CEO of ADG. "Our people will have the opportunity to work on larger, diverse and more complex projects whilst growing their expertise across Australia and globally. Our clients will gain access to deeper technical capabilities and expanded resources, delivered with the same collaborative approach and relationship focus that's always defined us. Both organisations share a commitment to making a genuine difference through quality engineering and client-focused delivery. It's a union that strengthens what we do well and advances Australian engineering capability."
