BEYER GROUP LTD. is the parent company of several municipal service-related businesses in the metro areas of Houston and Austin, Texas. Alongside eight other single-purpose entities, Beyer Group Ltd.'s busiest operations include Beyer Construction, Storm Water Solutions and Beyer Services. In Houston's privatized construction environment, there isn't a city road department, there's Beyer Construction — the company's bread-and-butter road-paving operation. Storm Water Solutions, a storm water pollution prevention plan management company, follows closely in revenue, providing stormwater regulatory compliance to land developers, commercial and residential builders, general contractors and utility districts. And with Beyer Services rounding out Beyer Group Ltd.'s priority work, like maintaining emergency infrastructure, levees and drainage, it was all hands on deck for the company's 450 Houston-area employees when the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey hit in 2017. When the record-breaking storm brought down the company's web- facing server setup on-premise, employees lost access to vital data that could help the entire city come back from disaster.
