PITTSBURGH, Pa. –January 15, 2026 – Stratus Team, LLC (“Stratus®” or the “Company”), an integrated engineering, architecture, and consulting firm, announced the formation of its Water Resources Market, a dedicated market sector the firm serves. The new market reflects Stratus’ continued growth and strategic investment in services supporting water supply, water treatment, water distribution, wastewater conveyance, and wastewater treatment.
The decision builds on years of water resources expertise across Stratus legacy firms and the professional talent that has supported these services since the Company’s early years. Together, these professionals form a robust, multi-office team serving public- and private-sector clients nationwide.
“Establishing a dedicated Water Resources Market reflects how we are aligning our capabilities with evolving client and community needs,” said Brandon Enochs, CEO of Stratus. “By organizing our expertise within a focused market structure, we are better positioned to deliver consistent, high-quality solutions and support long-term infrastructure investment across the regions we serve.”
Stratus leadership cited two primary drivers behind the decision to establish the Water Resources Market. Water remains one of the most critical and valuable resources nationwide, and the Company sees significant opportunity as aging water infrastructure requires repair, replacement, and expansion, particularly in high-growth regions and markets.
“Our teams have been delivering water resources solutions for many years,” said Bob Polino, COO of Stratus. “What has changed is the scale, depth, and reach of that work. Bringing these professionals together within a dedicated market sector allows us to invest more strategically, strengthen collaboration across offices, and better support both our clients and our other markets.”
Keith Stanley, P.E., has been named to lead the Water Resources Market. Stanley is based in the Richmond office. He brings more than two decades of experience across urban development, land use, and complex infrastructure projects, along with a strong background in program and operational leadership.
“I am excited for the opportunity to lead a multi-office team of experienced professionals within the Water Resources Market,” said Stanley. “We have a strong foundation already in place, and I look forward to continuing to build this practice while supporting the water resources-related needs of our other markets.”
The establishment of the Water Resources Market further strengthens Stratus’ ability to deliver integrated, resilient solutions that support communities, economic growth, and long-term infrastructure needs.
