Engineering firm Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM) is being separated into two distinct businesses, Hatch and Mott MacDonald.

HMM’s Canada business will become part of Hatch, while HMM’s U.S. business will become part of Mott MacDonald. HMM’s Pipelines business, which operates in both Canada and the U.S., will also join Mott MacDonald.

The company currently operates a Northern Ontario location in Thunder Bay.

In a statement, the company said the separation would allow the companies to “focus on all markets and services, offer more expertise to more clients, and provide their staff with greater opportunities.”

According to the company, Hatch Mott MacDonald was created 20 years ago as a joint venture providing engineering and professional services to the North American infrastructure market. HMM currently serves the transportation, water/wastewater, tunneling, and oil and gas pipelines markets. HMM has grown into a major engineering and infrastructure business, with 3,000 staff and 77 offices throughout the United States and Canada.

The transaction is expected to be complete by early 2016.
