Louis Berger (formerly known as Berger Group Holdings) is a full-service engineering, architecture, planning, environmental, program and construction management and economic development firm based in Morristown, New Jersey. Founded in 1953 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania by Dr. Louis Berger, the firm employed nearly 6,000 employees in more than 50 countries worldwide.[1] The company was acquired by WSP Global in 2018.[2]
The firm provides services to federal, state and local government clients, as well as to international multilateral institutions and to commercial industry. As of September 2011, Louis Berger ranked as the third largest USAID private-sector partner,[3] and was ranked #25 in 2015 among U.S. design firms in terms of total firm revenue by Engineering News-Record.[4]
The company has suffered setbacks in recent years with settlement of fraud charges for contracts in Afghanistan; admission of criminal responsibility to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations in a settlement with the US Department of Justice for bribery of governments in Asia; and a debarment by the World Bank for corrupt practices.[5][6]
In 2019, the National Transportation Safety Board determined that Louis Berger's inadequate peer review of the design contributed to the Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse. They were also criticized for failure to identify the significance of structural cracking and not preparing a remedial plan to address it.[7]
