Exodigo acquires V&A to expand AI-powered infrastructure engineering

(UI) — Exodigo has acquired California-based civil engineering consulting firm V&A, Inc., expanding its engineering capabilities and strengthening its AI-powered subsurface intelligence platform for transportation, utility, water and energy infrastructure projects. 

The acquisition expands Exodigo's presence in Southern California and combines the company's subsurface mapping and artificial intelligence technology with V&A's civil and utility engineering expertise. Founded more than 18 years ago, V&A provides utility and traffic engineering services for infrastructure owners and agencies including Caltrans, the California High-Speed Rail Authority, LA Metro, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Southern California Edison and Southern California Gas.

Exodigo said the acquisition will enable infrastructure owners to better identify subsurface risks earlier in project development, improving decision-making and reducing uncertainty during planning, design and construction. The companies have previously collaborated on infrastructure projects throughout California.

"The industry is increasingly demanding greater certainty around project cost, schedule and risk," said Jeremy Suard, CEO and co-founder of Exodigo. "By bringing engineering expertise and AI-powered subsurface intelligence together, we're helping clients make smarter decisions throughout the project lifecycle."

V&A will continue operating under its existing brand as V&A, Inc., powered by Exodigo, with its leadership team remaining in place. Existing client contracts and ongoing projects will continue without interruption.

The acquisition reflects growing adoption of AI-enabled engineering tools across the infrastructure sector as owners and contractors seek to better manage underground utility conflicts, reduce project risk and improve delivery of complex transportation and utility projects.
