Stantec Acquires Ryan Hanley to Expand in Ireland

Stantec has acquired Ryan Hanley, a 150-person engineering and environmental consultancy in Ireland, to enhance its presence and capabilities in the region. This acquisition is a strategic move to leverage Ryan Hanley's local expertise, especially in the water sector, as the firms have collaborated successfully since 2020 under a joint venture that supported a €3.5 billion investment in Ireland's water infrastructure. Stantec President Gord Johnston emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating it aligns with their commitment to innovation and community-focused solutions. The integration will enable Ryan Hanley to access new markets, including energy and transport, while benefiting from Stantec's global resources. With offices in Dublin, Galway, Cork, and Castlebar, Ryan Hanley has established relationships with various public and private clients, which will further aid Stantec in addressing Ireland's significant challenges. This acquisition forms part of Stantec's broader strategy to diversify and strengthen its footprint in Ireland and beyond.
