Volkert, Inc.

Volkert, Inc. is an employee-owned infrastructure engineering firm that has been in operation since 1925 and is ranked in ENR’s Top 100 Design Firms list. The company's history dates back to its establishment in New Orleans as Doullut & Erwin, providing waterfront and heavy construction services, and later expanding into airport design. Notably, during World War II, Volkert contributed to the design and construction of U.S. Navy shipyards for the production of “Liberty Ships” and other essential war infrastructure. After the war, the firm relocated to Mobile, Alabama under the leadership of David Volkert, who eventually acquired the company and led its involvement in the design of the U.S. interstate highway system. Renamed for Volkert in 1963, the firm under his leadership has expanded to provide a wide range of design services in transportation, aviation, construction, public works and utilities, property acquisition, and environmental engineering. With a legacy of over 60 major engineering awards and several inductions into the Engineering Hall of Fame, Volkert is now the largest Alabama-based engineering company and is ranked in the top quartile of the nation’s Top 500 Design Firms. Currently listed among the top 1% of engineering companies in the United States, Volkert's commitment to serving its clients, communities, and the nation with excellence remains steadfast after over ninety years in the industry. As of now, there is no available information on the last investment or the investors involved. Nevertheless, Volkert, Inc. remains a notable player in the construction industry, headquartered in the United States.
