Bowman Consulting Expands Mining Services;
Acquires Arizona’s PLS Group, Inc.
Phoenix, AZ – Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Bowman) is pleased to announce that it is expanding its mining services through its acquisition of PLS Group, Inc., a full-service civil engineering, surveying, and construction management firm with offices in Thatcher and Morenci, Arizona. Bowman, a DC metro-based firm with a national service capability, is already established in the Phoenix market and continues to expand its presence in the Southwest.
“We look forward to growing our professional services to the mining industry in Arizona and throughout the Southwest,” says Gary Bowman, president of Bowman. “Bowman and PLS Group have very similar goals and culture and are both very focused on delivering exceptional service to clients. Both firms are accomplished in commercial, public and infrastructural markets, and combining forces will only expand and strengthen our current capabilities and relationships.”
Thomas Palmer, PE, RLS, the PLS Group principal who has joined Bowman as the Branch Manager for the two new offices, said: “I am very excited about forging this alliance with Bowman Consulting. With offices in Thatcher and Morenci, PLS Group has an established relationship with one of the world’s largest mining companies, and has many on-going projects in Safford and Morenci with them. We’re excited to continue that relationship with the support of the Bowman family. Teaming with Bowman allows us to tap into a wealth of knowledge and expertise that we may not currently have, but still keep the relationships and local presence that allow us to meet the needs of our clients in a way that other firms cannot.”
PLS Group has enjoyed being involved in all types of projects, from boundary surveys to commercial and subdivision design to projects in and around the mines in Safford and Morenci. PLS Group did the civil design, surveying, landscape design and construction management of the Burro Alley reconstruction in Morenci, currently being completed. Its staff has years of experience in the Gila Valley, the greater Phoenix and Tucson areas, across Arizona and throughout the Southwest.
