MINNEAPOLIS, MN—Barr Engineering
Company has announced its acquisition of Kaeding and Associates,
a Minneapolis-based electrical engineering firm.
The acquisition nearly doubles the size
of Barr’s electrical engineering staff and expands its
capacity in power distribution and generation, controls and
instrumentation, lighting, and communications. According to
Barr vice president John Quist, major service areas for Kaeding
have been electrical engineering for water and wastewater
treatment facilities, high-voltage power distribution, upgrades
to systems and substation design, and the design of power
systems for municipalities, utilities, and industry.
“The engineers and technical specialists
joining Barr from Kaeding and Associates have a great reputation
in the market area served by Barr,” Quist notes. “They
have been the electrical engineering firm of choice for municipalities
and other consultants for years.”
This is Barr’s second acquisition in
two months. In September, Barr completed the purchase of Service
Engineering Group, an environmental engineering firm based
in the Twin Cities and Duluth.
Barr is a consulting firm providing engineering,
environmental, and information technology services to clients
in the public and private sectors, primarily in the upper
Midwest but also across the country and around the globe.
Barr has a staff of more than 400 and offices in Minneapolis,
Duluth, and Hibbing, Minnesota; Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Jefferson
City, Missouri.
