Company Beginnings
Bohannan Huston, Inc. (BHI) is a privately owned, professional corporation that was founded in 1959 as Bohannan and Stephenson Engineers. BHI originally offered general civil engineering and surveying services to clients in New Mexico. As a result of principal involvement and reliable, innovative performance, BHI has steadily developed and expanded its professional staff, geographic area of operation, and scope of services.
Diversity and Maturity
The 1960's brought diversification and maturing expertise to BHI's progressive staff. Late in the decade, a partner photogrammetry company was established, expanding available services. With the 1970's came the consolidation of engineering and photogrammetric operations into one company, Bohannan Westman Huston and Associates, Inc., and the completion of new office facilities. In 1977, the company name was changed to Bohannan Huston, Inc. and with the addition of a Computer Applications Group and a Community Development and Planning Group, capability and service increased dramatically.
Embracing the Digital Revolution
Beginning in the 1980's, BHI further expanded, creating a wholly-owned subsidiary, Diginetics, Inc., in 1984 to market software the company had developed to handle its own mapping, design and drafting production needs. At its peak in 1989, the Digimap System software was in use by three state departments of transportation and over twenty engineering and mapping companies and government agencies nationwide. In May 1986, BHI moved its headquarters to the Journal Center Business Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where it is located today.
