Aventia, an environmental and infrastructure services firm backed by Bernhard Capital, has acquired Bryant Hammett & Associates, a Louisiana-based civil engineering, land surveying and hazard mitigation firm, for undisclosed terms.

Aventia was launched by Bernhard in July 2022. The firm employs more than 400 professionals providing consulting, field services and technology solutions to public and private sector clients in over 40 states.

"We launched Aventia to be a nationwide environmental consulting leader, helping clients address critical mitigation and resilience work. BHA represents a strong strategic fit that expands this mission," said Chris Dillon, a partner at Bernhard.

"BHA's regional reputation and technical depth create meaningful momentum as Aventia continues building its national platform, serving communities across the country."
