AECOM acquires Indian specialist in green building

AECOM Technology Corp. (Los Angeles, CA) has acquired Spectral Services Consultants Pte. Ltd. (Noida, India), a building services consultancy specializing in the development of green buildings. Founded in 1980, Spectral employs about 500 people engaged in the provision of mechanical, electrical, and specialist consultancy services for clients that are aiming to reduce the environmental footprint of their buildings. The company was the first non-U.S. firm to have its projects achieve Platinum certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, according to AECOM. “The addition of Spectral to the AECOM family advances our Asian strategy and demonstrates our commitment to investing in emerging geographies,” said John Dionisio, AECOM’s president and CEO. “Spectral’s 31-year track record of serving clients across all aspects of India’s facilities market further strengthens AECOM’s ability to win complex and demanding projects in this key growth region. Its prominence in the hotel, leisure, and commercial office sectors, as well as its growing reputation in the healthcare facilities arena, will complement AECOM’s offerings across India and Asia.”
