PCI Skanska, a division of Skanska USA that provides integrated engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The company, which was founded in Evansville, Ind., is regarded for its wealth of expertise in core engineering disciplines including civil, structure, mechanical, and electrical.
Since its creation, PCI Skanska has provided EPC services to clients for more than 40 years.
