Cameron’s client base and presence in the New York region will add to IMEG’s 75 offices located throughout the U.S.
The 100-percent employee-owned IMEG, which was founded in 2015 with the merger of Illinois-based KJWW Engineering and California-based TTG Engineers, has grown tremendously over the past several years, bringing more than 30 formerly independent engineering and architectural firms under its umbrella. The Rock Island, Ill.-based company now has more than 2,000 employees.
Woodbury-based Cameron’s staff will continue with the new firm, including engineering professionals Nick Kumbatovic, Mike Hults, and Rich Zapolski. John Cameron and Joe Amato, who headed Cameron Engineering now become executive principals of IMEG.
“The merger provides sustainability and growth potential for all our employees as well as our clients and teaming partners,” Cameron said in a joint statement. “IMEG’s size and expertise also allows us to expand upon the innovative approaches and results-driven solutions we deliver to our clients.”
Founded in Jan. 1985, Cameron Engineering has worked on thousands of area projects, including such high-profile developments as Wyandanch Village, Nassau Coliseum and the medical school, business school and science and innovation buildings at Hofstra University. The company has also designed more than 200 firehouse renovation projects for the FDNY and has worked on many Long Island wastewater and sewer projects.
Cameron will continue to chair the Long Island Regional Planning Council and IMEG will be the engineering firm for the proposed $2.6 billion Midway Crossing project in Ronkonkoma.
“We are excited to continue our East Coast expansion and add Cameron Engineering & Associates to our team,” IMEG President and CEO Paul VanDuyne said in the statement. “Their full-service capabilities and market sector expertise align perfectly with IMEG, allowing us to serve more clients as a New York corporation.”
