This August, Acuren and NV5 joined forces, creating a unified platform to support infrastructure and industrial assets from design through long-term reliability. With more than $2 billion in annual revenue, 11,000 employees, and over 230 locations, the combined organization delivers unmatched depth, scale, and expertise to help clients manage every stage of their asset lifecycle.
The merger brings together NV5’s strengths in engineering and geospatial services with Acuren’s leadership in inspection and asset integrity. The result is an integrated partnership that can streamline planning, execution, and maintenance while improving safety, performance, and cost control for our clients.
We have organized our approach into four interconnected phases: Design, Map, Inspect, and Sustain. Together, they provide a seamless path from project concept through ongoing asset management.
Design: Bridging Engineering and Field Insight
Asset reliability starts at the design stage. NV5 adds industry-leading expertise in civil, structural, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering, to support asset improvement projects of all sizes including large utility and transportation infrastructure and building improvements.
Acuren complements this with field-driven knowledge in materials engineering, welding, and mechanical integrity, informed by decades of inspection and failure analysis. This combination produces designs that are both technically sound and practical to build, inspect, and maintain.
Map: Geospatial Intelligence for Smarter Decisions
Accurate data is critical for effective planning and operations. With NV5’s advanced geospatial capabilities including LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, 3D modeling, and digital twins, clients gain highly detailed insights into their assets and environments.
Acuren enhances this intelligence through field validation with drones, sensors, and inspection teams, ensuring that digital models reflect real-world conditions. This integrated approach helps project owners, reduce risk, make smarter investment decisions, and build comprehensive digital records to support permitting, maintenance, and emergency response.
This capability is especially valuable for clients managing distributed networks such as pipelines, utilities, or transportation systems. By combining NV5’s digital mapping with Acuren’s field verification, clients can detect terrain changes, encroachments, or environmental risks early and address them before they impact operations.
Inspect: Acuren’s Core Capability, Expanded
Inspection remains central to Acuren’s identity, and the merger expands both our scope and efficiency. Acuren continues to lead in nondestructive testing, rope access, inline inspection, and laboratory analysis, while NV5 strengthens our capabilities in building systems QA/QC and electrical infrastructure.
By standardizing procedures and aligning inspection with engineering and repair teams, we can deliver faster reporting, clearer recommendations, and better coordinated follow-up work. Clients gain not just inspection results, but actionable insights that connect directly to their next steps.
Together, our teams conduct thousands of inspections each year across industries such as oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, manufacturing, and construction. The expanded scope means clients can rely on one provider to support multiple asset types, from industrial pressure systems to building infrastructure.
Sustain: Long-Term Reliability and Asset Integrity
True value lies in sustaining assets over time. Acuren has long supported clients with mechanical integrity programs, risk-based inspection planning, corrosion monitoring, and repair execution. With NV5’s expertise in commissioning, facility assessments, forensic evaluations, and capital planning, we now provide a more comprehensive approach to long-term asset management.
This integration helps clients transition from reactive maintenance to proactive strategies that extend asset life, optimize budgets, and reduce downtime. Inspection data feeds directly into integrity models and capital plans, ensuring reliability decisions are informed, strategic, and cost-effective.
Instead of reacting to unexpected failures, clients can now plan multi-year strategies that combine inspection data, condition assessments, and capital planning. This shift allows operators to forecast maintenance, extend asset life, and allocate resources more effectively.
What Clients Can Expect
For clients, the transition is seamless.
You’ll continue to work with your Acuren relationship manager and our dedicated team of Acuren technical experts. However, you’ll now have access to a broad array of engineering and geospatial technical capabilities, expanding the service and value proposition that you can expect from us.
The result is a stronger partner with greater reach and capability without added complexity.
A Platform for the Future
The Acuren and NV5 merger marks a significant step in building a technical services platform that does more than respond to challenges. By uniting engineering, geospatial intelligence, inspection, and sustainment services, we help clients anticipate issues, plan smarter, and extend the lifespan of their assets.
With aligned leadership, integrated systems, and a shared culture of safety and quality, Acuren and NV5 are positioned to provide the most comprehensive lifecycle support in the market.
