Black & Veatch, a leading global engineering, consulting and construction company, on May 6 hosted a special event for government officials, U.S. embassy staff, company clients and business partners in Vietnam to celebrate Black & Veatch’s 20th year of providing vital water and energy infrastructure in the country.
“Vietnam’s commitment to advancing economic development that benefits its residents is reflected in its ongoing industrial growth and approaches to improving energy and water services in the country,” said Len C. Rodman, Chairman, President and CEO of Black & Veatch, during the event in Hanoi.
“We are proud to have been assisting Vietnam for the last 20 years and look forward to continuing our strong relationship in providing sustainable infrastructure solutions.”

The company’s energy business has completed five consulting service projects and one engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project.
