CH2M

CH2M, earlier CH2M HILL, Inc., was an engineering company that provided consulting, design, construction, and operations services for corporations and governments. The company was organized in Corvallis, Oregon, and headquartered at 9191 South Jamaica Street, Englewood, Colorado. In December 2017, the company was acquired by Jacobs Engineering Group.

The company played a major role in the Panama Canal expansion project. The company developed, maintained and published its own method for managing projects for clients, called the CH2M HILL Project Delivery System. The firm was named from the initials of its four founders.

CH2M was founded in 1946 in Corvallis, Oregon, by Oregon State University civil engineering professor Fred Merryfield and three of his students: Holly Cornell, James Howland and Thomas Burke Hayes. Cornell, Howland, and Hayes were all graduates of Oregon State University. The company became CH2M Hill after a merger with Clair A. Hill & Associates in 1971. The firm remained headquartered in Oregon until 1980, when it moved to Colorado.

In 2000, the company was part of a joint venture to replace the Singapore sanitary services infrastructure. The new Singapore Deep Tunnel System was designed to improve reliability, ease, and economy of operation, and to help Singapore handle the increasing use of its waterfront.

In October 2005, Kaiser Hill, a joint venture of CH2M Hill, decommissioned and closed a former nuclear weapons facility at the Rocky Flats Plant. In 2006, the company helped rebuilding efforts along the Gulf Coast of the United States after Hurricane Katrina.

In June 2007, along with General Electric, the company was selected to build a $660 million gas-fired power plant in Queensland, Australia. In April 2007, the company was selected for an $11.7 billion project to move American military bases in Korea.

In August 2007, the Panama Canal Authority selected the company to manage the $5.25 billion Panama Canal expansion project, which added new locks to the Pacific and Atlantic ends of the canal and enabled New Panamax ships to pass through the canal for the first time.

In April 2009, a consortium led by the company was named program partner to oversee construction of the Crossrail project to expand London's transit system. On August 30, 2006, along with partners Mace Group and Laing O'Rourke, the company was selected as a supplier for the London 2012 Olympics.
