Company History
TERRA Engineering, Ltd. was started by Karen Steingraber and Jamil Bou-Saab in 1992. The company grew slowly while they built strong relationships with clients. In 2000, George Ghareeb was added to the team and an office was opened in Peoria, Illinois. This allowed TERRA to reach even broader markets. As the company continues to grow, TERRA is always expanding its knowledge and experience. Today there are more than 80 employees with a variety of specialties. TERRA continues to open new doors by adding an office in St. Louis in 2011, an office in Milwaukee in 2013 and an office in Grayslake, IL in 2018.
