The Stonewall Group Continues to Execute Transformative Growth Plan for Practical Engineering Solutions (PES) Since 2018 Acquisition

The Stonewall Group is proud to highlight the exceptional growth and evolution of Practical Engineering Solutions (PES) since its acquisition in 2018. At the time of acquisition, PES and The Stonewall Group co-crafted a strategic plan allowing Clayton George to transition out of his then role as PES’s Chief Executive Officer and into his current role as COO of The Stonewall Group. Tyler Cook, PE, was promoted from within to serve as PES’s COO, alongside Sean Mallory (VP of Business Development) and Jonathan Duhon (VP of Quality). 

Under Stonewall's ownership and new leadership team, PES has more than doubled its revenue and broadened its capabilities beyond mechanical design and drafting. Today, the firm offers structural, MEP, and process engineering, along with EPC services, and advanced R&D support. These expanded capabilities have enabled PES to deliver comprehensive solutions across a broader range of industries and project types. 

In addition to expanding its technical offerings, PES has strategically diversified the markets it serves. Originally focused on oil and gas, the firm has successfully expanded into renewable energy, lithium battery production, carbon capture, mining, and complex signage systems—positioning itself at the forefront of modern industrial and infrastructure development. 

At the time of this announcement, PES recently received a $2.3 million purchase order for a major EPC project—one of the largest in company history. The firm also holds a record-breaking backlog, while holding a 95.3% on-time delivery rate. To meet this rising demand, PES has increased both its engineering and business development staff, reinforcing its ability to execute at scale while continuing to serve clients with speed, precision, and value. 

“The trajectory PES is on is a direct result of disciplined leadership, a strong culture of innovation, and a deep commitment to client success,” said Reece Theriot, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of The Stonewall Group. “From their recent project wins to our expanding talent base, PES is proving what’s possible when you invest in people and empower operational excellence.”
