Our History
Kenall’s team has remained steadfast in its dedication to engineering a better world. From its beginnings in 2002 as a geotechnical and materials testing firm, the company has grown into a full-service architectural and engineering firm, driven by a shared commitment to enhancing the built environment and serving the communities around them. Over the past 23 years, its professionals have delivered high-quality architectural, engineering, testing, quality control, and environmental services throughout Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and beyond, providing crucial support to municipal/local/state and US federal government projects. Their reputation for excellence has made them a trusted partner in infrastructure and environmental initiatives.
In pursuit of a broader impact, the firm expanded its capabilities, transitioning into a full-service architectural and engineering firm. This strategic growth included the acquisition of Ratnala and Bahl (RBI), a leading civil engineering firm in Houston with over 40 years of experience successfully managing public works and infrastructure projects for municipalities and county governments. By integrating RBI’s expertise, Kenall expanded its portfolio to include civil and structural design, surveying, construction management, and essential water, wastewater, stormwater, and transportation projects. The addition of new talent further strengthened its ability to deliver design, consulting, and construction management services across Texas, Louisiana and beyond.
Kenall reaffirmed its commitment to advancing engineering excellence with the establishment of an additional office dedicated to architectural and engineering services at 2500 Citywest Blvd, Ste 700, Houston, TX 77042, complementing its corporate headquarters, and its branch office in New Orleans. United by a vision for sustainability, innovation, and community-focused solutions, Kenall’s team remains resolute in their mission to create sustaining infrastructure and advance the profession through forward-thinking engineering practices.
