Rock Island, IL — IMEG has acquired MARLIN Engineering, a Florida-based transportation engineering and planning firm recognized for its expertise in traffic engineering, bridge operations and inspection, roadway design, surveying, and advanced data and analytics.
 
The acquisition marks a significant expansion of IMEG’s capabilities in Florida—adding transportation engineering and planning to its existing MEP and structural services and advancing a more comprehensive, full-service offering across the region.
 
Founded in 1991, MARLIN Engineering has a strong presence across Florida, with offices in Palmetto Bay, the Miami/Medley region, Fort Lauderdale, and Tallahassee. The firm is known for its forward-thinking approach to mobility, safety, and infrastructure performance—supporting public agencies and private clients through a combination of engineering expertise, technology, and data-driven insight.
 
Together, IMEG and MARLIN bring a more connected approach to infrastructure delivery—linking transportation, building systems, and site development to better serve state and local agencies, municipalities, and private clients. The combined team enhances IMEG’s ability to support projects from early planning and design through long-term performance, while strengthening its presence across Florida and the broader southern region.
 
“This acquisition represents an important step in IMEG’s continued growth and evolution in Florida,” said Paul VanDuyne, President and CEO of IMEG. “Adding transportation expertise strengthens our ability to serve clients more holistically—connecting infrastructure, buildings, and systems in ways that improve performance, resilience, and long-term value.”
 
“Joining IMEG allows us to build on the strong foundation we’ve established while expanding what’s possible for our team and our clients,” said Ramon Soria, President and CEO of MARLIN Engineering. “This partnership enhances our ability to scale our services—particularly in bridge inspection and transportation systems—while maintaining the client-focused approach that has defined our work.”
 
Soria will continue in a leadership role at IMEG, supporting integration and ongoing growth. José Quintana and Armando Aguiar will also remain in key leadership roles, ensuring continuity for clients and staff. The team will continue to operate at its current locations as MARLIN, now IMEG.
