Company History
Hatch Mott MacDonald
To serve North America’s booming transport market, Mott MacDonald and Canada’s Hatch Associates established a joint venture company in 1996 called Hatch Mott MacDonald. The joint venture was formed after a long affiliation with Hatch that began when we worked together on Toronto’s subway in the 1950s. The new company took over combined tunnels and transport operations in North America.
In 2016, Hatch Mott MacDonald was separated into two distinct businesses. HMM’s Canada business became part of Hatch while HMM’s US business joined Mott MacDonald. Mott MacDonald continues to operate in all sectors in North America, including buildings, all areas of transportation, tunnels, energy, water and wastewater, communications, education, health, and environment.
The Mott MacDonald Group was formed in 1989 with the merger of two long-established and well-known international engineering consultancies: Mott, Hay & Anderson, renowned for its contribution to transportation engineering, and Sir M MacDonald & Partners, distinguished by a long tradition of water-related projects.
This landmark union began our progress toward the dynamic and continually evolving organization we are today. Mott MacDonald now operates from 180 principal offices in 50 countries across 12 core sectors: buildings, communications, education, environment, health, industry, international development, oil and gas, power, transport, urban development, and water.
Mott, Hay & Anderson
Engineers Basil Mott and David Hay, having worked together since 1888 on the City and South London Railway, entered into partnership under the name Mott & Hay in 1902. Sir David Anderson joined 19 years later.
Their traditions owe much to Mott’s and Hay’s two mentors: JH Greathead is renowned as the foremost soft ground tunneler of the time, while
Sir M MacDonald & Partners
Sir Murdoch MacDonald, in his capacity as Advisor to Egypt’s Ministry of Public Works, was closely associated with the development and first heightening of the Aswan Dam, which marked the start of a long association with hydroelectric power development. Sir Murdoch retired from the Egyptian Government Service in June 1921 and returned to Britain where, at the age of 55, he immediately entered partnership with Archibald MacCorquodale.
PH East (who had also been an engineer in the Egyptian Government Service from 1907 to 1926) and O.L. Prowde joined Sir Murdoch MacDonald in a partnership in January 1927, marking the start of a new era. The name of the company was changed to Sir M MacDonald & Partners. Major new work started, including the second heightening of the Aswan Dam, which continued through the design and construction stages to 1933.
