BISMARCK - North Dakota-based engineering firm KLJ is expanding to Florida.
The firm said Wednesday in a statement that it is opening an office in Lake Worth, Fla., that will specialize in hydrogeological services and provide comprehensive water supply, water management and well water-system consulting to the area.
It is the firm’s first office outside the Upper Midwest, according to the release. KLJ is headquartered in Bismarck but started in Dickinson in 1938 as Viegel Consulting Engineering. The firm changed its name to Kadrmas, Lee and Jackson in 1984.
It has 23 office locations in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota and Wyoming.
