Day & Zimmermann (No. 46), Philadelphia, lost steam in its Top 400 ranking this year as a slow recovery and reduced energy use cut into its power-market construction revenue. But the 112-year-old firm, which dropped 12 slots based on 2012 revenue, is relying on its market breadth for better returns this year. "The beauty of D&Z is the diversity in our business," says CEO Hal Yoh. "We've seen that over the decades. Not all our clients know what we can do." In addition to engineering, construction and O&M, the firm manages U.S. defense facilities, provides logistics and security services, and does technical staffing management. D&Z plans to take its power expertise into other sectors.
