As part of its international growth strategy, BBA has opened an office in Salt Lake City, USA, bringing the consulting engineering services company closer to its clients in a region that, it says, offers attractive business opportunities, particularly in the mining and metals sector.

Hassiba Lkoun, Director of Engineering, and Marc Tardif (pictured on the left with Jérôme Pelletier, President and CEO of BBA), an expert in process control and operational technology, have been on site for several weeks now preparing to open this new branch in the United States.

“We’re already busy building strong relationships with local partners and stakeholders, as well as carrying out automation and electrical engineering mandates at Rio Tinto’s Kennecott mine, located some 30 minutes from Salt Lake City,” LKoun said.

BBA has been providing a wide range of consulting engineering services for over 40 years. Today, its engineering, environmental and commissioning experts team up to, the company says, quickly and accurately pinpoint the needs of industrial and institutional clients, including those in the energy and natural resources industry.
