Innovation meets experience for a 360-degree view.
Being a leader in engineering, design, planning, and environmental consulting services can mean different things to different people. To our clients, it means having a go-to project leader and team you trust. To us, it means being innovators and problem solvers. Together, we achieve great things.
Although Tighe & Bond (pronounced “Tie & Bond”) has been around for more than a century, we have never stopped evolving and improving to keep pace with the growing needs of our clients. Vision, technical expertise, exceptional service, and strong client relationships have always been at the forefront of who we are. Moving forward and discovering innovation is what we do.
Both Practical and Progressive
In a profession known for black-and-white thinking, we focus on bright ideas, green strategies, and clear solutions that meet our clients’ goals. As a full-service, regionally focused firm focused on the Northeast, we offer concept-to-completion expertise to achieve outstanding project outcomes. With our signature attention to detail and project advocacy, we devise effective solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients and their stakeholders.
100% Employee Owned
As an employee-owned firm since 1998, our staff is invested in the success of our business, in addition to being invested in the outcomes of the work we do with our clients.
Our Client-Based Structure
We’ve organized our firm into distinct business lines with a range of capabilities that integrate into a comprehensive consulting solution. We continue to build our in-house technical expertise to help clients plan, design, construct, maintain, and operate properties throughout their lifecycle, both in the built and natural environment. Our capabilities are both broad and deep, and span five core business lines:
Building Services
Our integrated building services include mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design (MEP/FP); energy analysis and modeling; structural and geotechnical engineering; and managing real estate assets through GIS. We produce practical and impactful structures that stand the test of time and empower communities to thrive.
Environment
With services from site assessment/remediation and materials management, to wetlands and ecological services, to building sciences, regulatory compliance, and health and safety, we deliver environmental solutions and strategies that drive compliance, reduce risk, and promote environmental stewardship.
Land Use
Our integrated land use services – which encompass planning, civil/site design, landscape architecture, renewable energy, and coastal and waterfront engineering – ensure that land is used efficiently and safely while also meeting each client’s economic, environmental, and social objectives.
Transportation
We deliver safe, efficient traffic transportation solutions that keep communities connected by partnering closely with state DOTs, municipalities, and private clients to leverage our deep expertise in roadways, highways, bridges, culverts, trails, and greenways.
Water
We partner closely with clients to deliver innovative drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, dam, and ecological restoration solutions that help communities mitigate risk, maximize resources, drive resilience, and support public health.
More Than a Century of Progress
Our story began in 1911. James Tighe, a smart and resourceful Irish immigrant, launched his own engineering practice in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Philip Bond later joined Tighe, and together they shaped the foundation for Tighe & Bond’s bright future.
When Tighe & Bond celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2011, we put together a memory book that documents the firm’s evolution from 1911-2011. Perhaps you might want to take a look?
