Transportation

It’s hard to imagine life without the highways, roadways, and bridges that help us arrive at our destinations. On any given day, most people have somewhere to go; and they want to get there as safely, and easily, as possible. Transportation is essential to the turbocharged pace of our daily lives. Our goal is to not only help people get where they need to be, but to improve mobility to foster connection – and to do it smoothly, safely, and efficiently.

Concept-to-Completion Expertise

Progressive planning and skilled traffic engineering solutions are two roads that lead to transportation success, whether it’s asset management and planning, or designing creative improvements to existing aging infrastructure or developing new solutions. We provide traffic engineering, roadway & bridge design, and transportation planning services to state DOTs as well as regional, municipal, private and institutional clients throughout the Northeast.

We design streets, intersections, highways, interchanges, bridges, roundabouts, sidewalks, crosswalks, and parking. Other specialties include traffic calming, impact studies, and signal designs. Our complete streets efforts include bicycle and pedestrian friendly designs aimed at creating safe, comfortable, and integrated transportation networks for all users.

Transportation & Traffic Engineering

One of our core services involves the safe and efficient operation of traffic throughout the communities we serve. Our transportation and traffic engineers have the expertise to assess and design the transportation networks that enhance the quality of life for all users of our transportation corridors. We provide these services to local municipalities and state transportation agencies throughout the Northeast on projects including intersection reconstruction and traffic signal design, roadway safety audits, transit signal priority, highway safety planning, traffic analysis and modeling, and operational analyses. We have developed isolated traffic control signals and traffic signal systems that incorporate the latest technologies, including ITS elements for detection and monitoring intersections.

Roadway & Highway

The design of safe, cost effective, efficient, and sustainable roadway and highway infrastructure is a hallmark of our practice. The majority of our work serves local municipalities and state transportation agencies throughout the Northeast. Our team has designed significant roadway corridors, local streets, intersections, and trails throughout the Northeast. These projects have included corridor reconstruction, intersection safety improvement, roundabouts, Complete Streets, pedestrian and bicycle mobility, greenways/trails, and drainage and utility improvements.

Complete Streets

Integrating our skilled team of engineers and landscape architects, we are providing safe and efficient projects that address pedestrian, bicycle, and transit travel in our communities. These projects include bicycle and pedestrian friendly designs aimed at creating safe, comfortable, and integrated transportation networks, traffic calming implementation, recreational trails and connections to roadway networks, and transit-related improvements.

Bridge & Culvert

Our talented, experienced bridge engineers specialize in condition assessment, analysis, design, construction support, visualization, and asset management. What really distinguishes us beyond our bridge and culvert structural expertise is our comprehensive and local in-house capabilities to address all facets of a bridge project. Geotechnical engineers design and implement a soil exploration program, testing, and reporting, which is complemented by environmental and permitting specialists. Our engineers and scientists also prepare hydraulic and hydrologic analysis and design.

Trails & Greenways

Our staff are experienced in planning and designing dedicated outdoor trails, greenways, and multi-use paths. We have provided a variety of services related to multimodal mobility and safety on projects that include bicycle and pedestrian networks in both urban and suburban settings, greenways and river walks, and rails-to-trails. In addition to our civil and transportation engineering capabilities associated with the multi-use trail design, our in-house landscape architecture and environmental teams can provide necessary support to efficiently and comprehensively plan, design, and permit complex multi-use trail projects.

Asset Management

We provide services for municipalities to help assess, maintain, and enhance their transportation assets, including roadways, signage, traffic signals, and transportation safety appurtenances. Our comprehensive approach allows us to aid in the assessment of this vital infrastructure and provide a road map for maintenance and the planning for cost-effective repairs and capital planning strategies.

Construction Administration

Our team services our valued clients from project inception and design, through construction implementation. Project managers and construction observers have the experience and expertise to assist clients throughout the construction process providing design interpretation, construction administration services, and on-site observation to ensure conformance with the design intent and documentation.

Planning & Grant Funding

It is essential that the design team of any roadway improvement project be cognizant of the importance of the attributes and natural setting. This includes being sensitive to the surrounding homes, on-site constraints, and local character. It is equally important that design options not only provide accommodations for vehicles, but pedestrians and cyclists as well. Our team is keenly aware of such an approach to roadway design.

With fiscal constraint a concern for municipalities, we offer expertise in assisting municipalities secure funding through various federal and state aid programs, including the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), the Complete Streets Program (all tiers), MassWorks Infrastructure Program, MassDOT Chapter 90 Local Aid Program, and many others.
