One of Atlantic Canada's largest engineering companies has split up, but neither of the new entities is going very far.Engineering and architecture consulting firm ADI Ltd. has left ADI Group Inc. to become part of Trow Global and complete the Brampton, Ont.-based company's coast-to-coast presence, the companies announced Monday.All of ADI Ltd.'s roughly 365 employees will keep their jobs, and ADI Group is left with approximately 60 employees, most of whom work for its subsidiaries such as ADI Systems Inc. and Geomembrane Technologies Inc., which focus on treating industrial waste to generate energy or discard safely into local bodies of water.There will be very little change, said Paul Morrison, president of ADI Ltd. The firm will keep its name and continue to focus on the Atlantic Canadian market."Essentially, ADI Ltd. stays the same, decisions are made locally by the same management team," Morrison said, adding that consolidation is becoming an industry-wide trend. "ADI, to our clients, remains exactly the same, it will be the same staff."The biggest change, he said, is that the company will now have access to a broader range of resources and senior expertise in areas the firm didn't previously have such as storm run-off.Apart from completing Trow's nation-wide presence of more than 2,400 employees, ADI Ltd. also brought something new to its new parent company."They have not had architecture as a service line, so our staff here in Fredericton and throughout Atlantic Canada will become the platform for offering architecture across Canada," Morrison said, adding this could mean expansions in the region. - IBI Income Fund announces the closing of a merger of Tetra Design, Inc
