Redefining Utilities Infrastructure Management

The acquisition of URA represents another major milestone in Genergy’s vision to build the industry’s most comprehensive Utilities Infrastructure Management Organization.

As commercial, industrial, and multifamily properties become increasingly intelligent and connected, their infrastructure management requires a fully integrated platform which combines engineering, technology, and utility intelligence.
