Benchmark International Facilitated the Transaction BT William H Smith and Associates and Vistal

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. - EntSun -- William H Smith and Associates, Inc., or "WHS", is a surveying, engineering, and materials testing firm with almost 60 years of experience. They primarily work with industry-leading oil and gas companies, municipalities, and civil engineers to deliver cost-saving solutions for substantial projects in the Western US. The company has established a longstanding reputation for quality customer service, resulting in a 95% retention rate and MSAs with large, publicly traded energy companies.

Vistal is a 100% employee-owned holding company that provides strategic services to its operating companies that specialize in all types of engineering: civil, survey, transportation, environmental, and water. Vistal companies have completed thousands of infrastructure projects that drive economic activity, create modern convenience, and facilitate the efficient movement of people and products.

WHS President Will Dolinar said Vistal was the ideal partner for the next phase of the company's growth and ownership transition. "When we considered selling the company, we only talked to potential buyers who shared our deep commitment to client service and employee care. Additionally, Vistal provides the resources we needed to grow for our clients and our team, and their employee ownership model told us Vistal was the right partner to take our company and our employees to the next level."
