InSite Engineering, LLC, a prominent engineering and design firm specializing in water and wastewater systems, environmental remediation, municipal and transportation projects, and civil engineering, has announced a strategic investment from Godspeed Capital Management LP (“Godspeed Capital”). This private equity firm, focusing on lower middle-market Architecture, Engineering, Consulting, and Government services, as well as technology-driven solutions, will collaborate with InSite’s leadership to further expand its presence in the water and wastewater engineering industry. The financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
The strategic investment will enable Godspeed Capital to work alongside InSite’s seasoned leadership team to position the Company as a leading player in the water and wastewater engineering sector, particularly focused on critical infrastructure projects in the Southeastern United States. This partnership will allow InSite to leverage its nearly two decades of expertise while expanding its operations to meet the growing demand for water and wastewater services in the region. InSite will continue to deliver comprehensive engineering and design services, addressing the complexities of infrastructure challenges for municipal, state, and local government clients, utilities, and commercial entities.
A Strong Legacy of Engineering Excellence
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Hoover, Alabama, InSite Engineering has solidified its position as a respected and trusted partner within the water and wastewater infrastructure sector. The firm has earned a reputation for its deep subject matter expertise, high-end capabilities, and the ability to deliver complex projects with exceptional quality and efficiency. Over its 20 years in business, InSite has built a strong team of over 40 highly skilled professionals, each of whom plays an integral role in the firm’s success.
InSite has developed a robust portfolio of infrastructure projects that serve municipalities and government clients across the Southeastern United States. Its areas of specialization include water and wastewater treatment facilities, municipal infrastructure improvements, and civil engineering projects. The firm’s ability to consistently win new business and foster long-term relationships with clients has been instrumental in its continued success, with the Company boasting recurring revenue streams from a loyal customer base.
Capitalizing on Regional Infrastructure Demand
The infrastructure sector, particularly in the Southeastern United States, is experiencing heightened demand driven by several key factors, including the need for upgrades and expansions to aging infrastructure, rapid population growth, and evolving environmental regulations. One such critical regulatory issue is the remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which has led to increased investment in water and wastewater treatment systems.
InSite is poised to capitalize on these trends by continuing to deliver essential projects supported by significant federal, state, and local funding initiatives. The Company has a healthy pipeline of contracted projects, including water and wastewater treatment facilities, municipal infrastructure improvements, and civil engineering services. InSite’s reputation as a reliable partner for complex infrastructure projects positions it to successfully navigate this growing demand for services.
InSite’s consistent success in winning new business, coupled with its ongoing work with repeat clients across Alabama and Georgia, has led to expanding opportunities in neighboring states such as Florida, South Carolina, and Mississippi. The Company’s continued growth in these markets reflects both the demand for its services and its ability to adapt to the evolving needs of its clients.
