History
MWH Global is the unification of three major engineering firms: James M. Montgomery Consulting Engineers (JMM), Watson Hawksley, Ltd., and Harza Engineering Company.[5] including the El Cajón Dam in Honduras (officially known as Central Hidroeléctrica Francisco Morazán), and operated under the new name of Montgomery Watson Harza. In 2003, the firm name was shortened to MWH.[6] In 2010, MWH acquired Biwater Services Ltd., a water construction and engineering firm. With the acquisition, the firm’s history can now be traced to 1820, when Ames Crosta Babcock (an acquisition of Biwater Services) was created.[7]
