The acquisition of LS Technologies (in February 2024) introduced additional capabilities and clients to its federal IT practice within its Government Services Group segment. Also, the RPS Group buyout (in January 2023) expanded TTEK’s water practice in the United Kingdom and strengthened its foothold in renewable energy and environmental management.
