DETROIT, MI (July 30, 2026) — In 2026, Wade Trim is celebrating a remarkable milestone—100 years of delivering infrastructure solutions for clients. The origin of the company dates to 1926 when a civil engineer started a business designing roads and sewers for local communities. The firm was acquired by Bob Wade and Don Trim, founders that instilled the core values and sense of integrity still held by employees today.
“Infrastructure design has always been a mainstay at Wade Trim,” says President/CEO Andy McCune. “It’s the core connection between the markets we serve for public and private clients. It has also been the foundation for gaining new clients, building expertise, and expanding our geographies.”
Wade Trim's growth has been guided by a commitment to maximizing the value of infrastructure investments, a strong culture of collaboration, and long-standing partnerships with clients. Practical and innovative solutions are delivered in the water, energy, industrial/commercial, community design, and transportation markets. With more than 850 employees and 23 offices in nine states, disciplines include engineering, planning, surveying, landscape architecture, and construction services.
“We have built an amazing company,” Andy adds. “As an employee-owned firm, we believe our culture and ownership mindset have been key drivers of our sustainability and success. Our journey reflects generations of employees and clients who worked together, adapting to major changes in the economy, markets, and technology.”
In gratitude to clients, Wade Trim contributed $100,000 to the Wade Trim Foundation to invest in non-profits and programs that serve others and make communities stronger. Grants are awarded annually to eligible non-profit applicants who best align with the Foundation’s mission to positively impact the environment, communities, and quality of life through innovative infrastructure investments.
Throughout 2026, Wade Trim will be sharing defining moments and featured projects on their website: 100 Years.
