Concrete work has started for the replacement of the deteriorating seawall at Bicentennial Park in Hampton, NH. This project will replace the failing seawall, extend it to provide better protection, replace the maintenance ramp, and install a new sidewalk, reconstruct the parking lot, and provide new benches. We are assisting the Town of Hampton with permitting, design, and construction phase services on this project.

Our team had a great time connecting with #municipal leaders and partners at the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns Annual Trade Show in Warwick, RI. F. Adam Yanulis, Ashleigh Gilchrist, PE, and Michael Harris showcased our work and presence across Rhode Island at our booth.

Last week’s demolition of "The Pit" at Harvard Square Plaza marked the end of an era and a new beginning for this historic plaza. For decades, Cambridge's Harvard Square has served as a social hub and public event space. More recently, the plaza has experienced issues with flooding and accessibility. Our landscape architects are working closely with the City of Cambridge, HDR, and Touloukian Touloukian Inc. on the redesign of this plaza. The redesigned Harvard Square Plaza will improve circulation and accessibility, while incorporating trees, planters and new flexible seating to accommodate a variety of events. The Boston Globe recently covered the ongoing work at Harvard Square Plaza: https://lnkd.in/eSxiwt_v

With an increasing national trend in removing aging dams which no longer serve their initial purpose, our work on the Thousand Acre Reservoir Dam in Athol, MA offers a long view of the changing perspectives of #dam ownership. The dam was originally constructed in 1911 and was designed by our firm’s founder, James Tighe, in the firm’s founding year. Over a century later, this dam has surpassed its useful lifespan, and its removal will improve water quality, restore natural river flow, and improve aquatic habitat for fish and other species. Learn more about the project’s 100-year history and its anticipated removal this summer in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game Division of Fisheries & Wildlife: https://ow.ly/z29T50VgMCv #damremoval #ecologicalrestoration

Our team is working with Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration (MassDER) to provide an update to the division’s guidelines for #culverts in transitional (near-coastal) environments. Utilizing the project team’s expertise in hydraulic modeling and environmental restoration, the guidelines will be updated to include new recommendations for #climatechange adaptation and updated guidance for designing #resilient structure and regulatory considerations. These studies will provide critical information for future #ecologicalrestoration planning and #climateadaptation. https://ow.ly/GWbN50Vf0pX #resiliency

#TeamTigheBond gathered in our offices across the Northeast to celebrate #PiDay while raising money for charity for our 3rd Annual National Pi Day for a Cause Celebration.
