In 1959, Owen Ayres founded Ayres Associates atop a steadfast foundation of honesty, innovation, and good old-fashioned hard work – and a vision for a firm that revolved around strong, reliable partnerships. Decades (and thousands of rewarding partnerships) later, Ayres has grown to become a nationwide team of industry experts, representing some of the most inventive problem-solvers in the country. That team has planned, designed, and facilitated the creation of thousands of projects that keep our nation's infrastructure reliable and responsive.
