PRIME AE Group, Inc. (PRIME AE) expands its Pittsburgh bridge engineering team with the addition of Scott Livengood, PE, and Luke Thomas, EIT! The recent acceleration of growth for PRIME AE speaks to the significant market opportunities and demand for quality engineering in Pennsylvania’s mid-west region.

In conjunction with Smith, both Livengood and Thomas will be working to expand PRIME AE’s presence and influence in the area.
