HDR, Inc.
HDR, Inc. is an American design and engineering company based in Omaha, Nebraska.
In 1917, the Henningson Engineering Company started as a civil engineering firm in Omaha, where HDR's headquarters remain. Willard Richardson and Charles W. "Chuck" Durham joined the firm in 1939 as interns. Circa 1950, Richardson and Durham purchased shares in the firm, which then became known as Henningson, Durham, and Richardson, Inc.
The company's first project was designing a power station for the city of Ogallala, Nebraska. Similar projects followed as the firm built water, sewer, electric, and road systems for cities and towns throughout the Midwestern United States, emerging from frontier status.
In 1983, Bouygues SA, France's largest construction company, purchased HDR for $60 million. An employee group bought back HDR in 1996 for $55 million. The company has since grown from 1,100 employees to over 12,000.
Since the employee buyout in 1996 from the French conglomerate Bouygues, HDR has acquired over 60 firms worldwide. In February 2011, HDR acquired Cooper Medical, an Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, based firm providing integrated design and construction services for healthcare facilities throughout the U.S. The new alliance, HDR Cooper Medical, will provide a service design and construction delivery model to healthcare clients. In February 2011, HDR acquired Schiff Associates, a recognized leader in corrosion engineering headquartered in Claremont, California, with offices in Houston, Las Vegas, and San Diego.
In January 2011, HDR acquired HydroQual, Inc., specializing in water resource management. Based in Mahwah, N.J., HydroQual had nine offices in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, Utah, and Dubai. HydroQual is now conducting business as HDR. Also in January 2011, HDR acquired Amnis Engineering Ltd., based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The firm provides engineering and consulting services in British Columbia and some international locations for hydropower and water resources infrastructure.
In March 2013, HDR acquired TMK Architekten • Ingenieure, a German healthcare architecture firm. The merged company was the hub for HDR's healthcare and science design programs in Europe. In 2023, HDR sold its subsidiary HDR GmbH to a small group of employees in the country. The new operating company is Telluride Architektur GmbH.
In April 2013, HDR acquired Salva Resources, a global provider of technical and commercial services for mining exploration and investment in Brisbane, Australia.
