MWH's President and CEO, Blair Lavoie, enthusiastically endorsed the decision, explaining, "Joining forces with Obayashi enables MWH to reach our short- and long-term goals of organizational growth, excellence in client service, and the continued development of some of the best construction professionals in the USA."
