ROCKVILLE, Md. - Marylandian -- For seventy years, A. Morton Thomas and Associates, Inc. (AMT) has grown from a small civil engineering consultancy in Maryland into a leading multidisciplinary firm. With over 500 employees across 23 offices in the eastern United States, AMT continues to serve a diverse client base.
History
AMT's origins began in 1955 when Allan Morton Thomas, Jr., a World War II veteran and Montgomery County, Maryland civil servant, founded the firm with his wife, Georgia. Morton was a licensed professional engineer and licensed surveyor, and Georgia maintained the firm's administrative and financial functions.
Upon Morton's and Georgia's retirements in 1983, their daughter, Christine Thomas-Teates took over the firm's leadership. As one of the first female owners and presidents of a civil engineering firm in the Mid-Atlantic region, Christine worked tirelessly and advocated for expanded female leadership in the AEC industry while seeing AMT through its next two decades of growth. The firm operated as a small- and woman-owned business, routinely serving as a subconsultant to larger teaming partners.

Following Christine's retirement in 2002, AMT began a transition to focus on pursuing contracts as a prime consultant and as lead designer for highway and other infrastructure projects, graduating from all small business programs. In 2008, AMT entered Engineering News-Record's "Top 500 Design Firms" annual ranking for the first time, and in 2015, AMT was recognized as VDOT's "Prime Consultant of the Year" for partnering with and utilizing the services of DBE firms.
As leadership transitioned over time, AMT became a 100% employee-owned firm (ESOP) in 2018. It has garnered numerous national and regional awards and honors, both as a firm and for specific projects.
Today
As AMT celebrates this milestone anniversary, the firm's leadership is proud of its organic growth. AMT currently organizes its wide-ranging expertise through five core practices: Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI), Transportation, Site & Infrastructure, Environmental & Water Resources, and Surveying/SUE. With a highly collaborative approach and industry-leading talent, members of these practices frequently work together to bring complex projects to life. From interstate interchanges and highway structures to higher education campus projects and parks & recreation design, AMT serves clients, stakeholders, consultant partners, and communities to improve the built environment.
