TFMoran Sponsors 603X VEX-RAYS on Their Journey to the VEX IQ World Championship!

April 23, 2026 | 0 Comments | , ,

TFMoran is proud to sponsor the 603X VEX-RAYS Robotics Team as they advance to the VEX IQ World Championship. Organized through VEX Robotics, this global program introduces students from Pre-K through high school to hands-on STEM learning through engaging, team-based robotics challenges.

Students are immersed in the full engineering design process, brainstorming, building, coding, testing, and refining their robots while also developing critical skills in teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

The 603X VEX-RAYS team has demonstrated remarkable dedication, innovation, and teamwork to earn their place on the world stage in St. Louis. Their achievement reflects countless hours of hard work and a strong commitment to excellence in STEM.

By sponsoring the VEX-RAYS, TFMoran is excited to support a program that inspires curiosity, builds confidence, and prepares students for future academic and career opportunities. We wish the team the best of luck as they represent their community at the world championship!

TFMoran Team Advances Water-Smart Landscaping at UNH Workshop

March 31, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , , , , , ,

Last week, members of the TFMoran team participated in the Landscaping for Water Quality professional training held March 25–26, 2026 at the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Hugh Gregg Coastal Conservation Center, hosted by the University of New Hampshire.

Our Landscape Architect, Mike Krzeminski, PLA, and Assistant Land Planner and Landscape Designer, Sophie Haddock, attended the two-day interactive workshop focused on designing and maintaining landscapes that are both visually appealing and environmentally responsible. Hosted by University of New Hampshire Extension in partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, UNH Sea Grant, and NH LAKES, the program brought together landscape professionals, conservation leaders, and municipal staff committed to protecting New Hampshire’s water resources.

Participants explored practical strategies for improving ecological function in landscapes while reducing stormwater runoff and protecting water quality in nearby lakes, rivers, streams, and coastal waters. Through hands-on exercises and site exploration at the Great Bay Reserve, attendees applied these principles by designing landscape solutions that enhance natural systems and support long-term watershed health.

Adding to the TFMoran presence at the workshop, Jay Aube, Director of Environmental Permitting, contributed to the program as a presenter, leading a discussion on the New Hampshire Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act and its role in protecting the state’s lakes and waterways.

Programs like Landscaping for Water Quality help professionals stay informed on best practices and evolving environmental regulations while earning continuing education credits for industry certifications. TFMoran is proud to support ongoing professional development that strengthens our ability to design sustainable landscapes and protect New Hampshire’s natural resources.

March 27, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , ,

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, Joppa Hill Educational Farm hosted its annual Snowball Gala at the Bedford Village Inn. TFMoran was proud to sponsor this year’s photo station, supporting an event that brings the community together to celebrate and invest in the future of the Farm. Our Civil Department Manager, Nick Golon, attended the evening with his family, representing TFMoran and our continued commitment to supporting local organizations.

The Snowball Gala is Joppa Hill Educational Farm’s most important annual fundraiser, helping sustain the Farm’s educational programs and long-term growth. Located on more than 35 acres in Bedford, New Hampshire, the nonprofit operates as a working farm that welcomes the public to connect with agriculture, nature, and hands-on learning experiences. Through scholarships and financial assistance, Joppa Hill ensures that youth from all backgrounds have the opportunity to participate in its programs and discover the value of agriculture and environmental stewardship.

Funds raised during this year’s Gala will directly support essential animal care, new fencing to protect the Farm’s animals, and the creation of an enhanced outdoor play space designed for the community to enjoy. These improvements will help ensure the Farm remains a safe, engaging, and welcoming destination for families and visitors alike.

Looking ahead, Joppa Hill Educational Farm continues its mission to reimagine the Farm as a vibrant community hub—a place where children and adults can gather, explore, learn, and connect with the land and animals that make the Farm so special. TFMoran is always proud to support organizations like Joppa Hill Educational Farm that strengthen our community and provide meaningful educational opportunities for future generations!

Jay Aube Featured in New England Real Estate Journal 2026 Spring Preview

March 25, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFMoran is proud to share that our Director of Environmental Permitting and Senior Environmental Scientist, Jay Aube, CWS, was recently featured in the New England Real Estate Journal’s 2026 Spring Preview as part of their Expert Engineer Spotlight.

In his article, Jay highlights upcoming changes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), including the implementation of Nationwide Permits (NWPs) beginning March 15, 2026. These new permits will replace the existing Regional General Permits across New England, creating a more consistent federal permitting process.

One key takeaway is the introduction of a standardized 0.5-acre impact threshold for non-tidal resources, which may affect how projects are planned and permitted moving forward—particularly in states like New Hampshire.

For a full breakdown of what these changes mean and how they may impact future development, read Jay’s complete article here:

TFMoran Celebrates Engineer’s and Women in Construction Week!

March 4, 2026 | 0 Comments | , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Today, March 4, 2026 at TFMoran, we were proud to celebrate Engineers Week 2026 and the 28th Annual Women in Construction (WIC) Week with a special appreciation breakfast!

Engineers Week, organized by DiscoverE in partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers, recognizes the important contributions engineers make to our communities every day. We’re grateful for our Civil, Structural, and Traffic Engineers whose dedication, innovation, and expertise help shape the world around us!

We also celebrated the 28th annual WIC Week, organized by the National Association of Women in Construction, with this year’s theme, “Level Up, Build Strong.” WIC Week honors the strength, knowledge, and impact of women across the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry while inspiring the next generation of leaders.

Our team in both our Bedford and Portsmouth offices enjoyed all the traditional breakfast favorites — scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast potatoes, waffles, fresh fruit salad, assorted pastries, and plenty of hot and iced coffee, catered by The Common Man Roadside and The Works Café. It was a great way to start the day and recognize the incredible talent and hard work that make TFMoran stronger every day!

For this year’s WIC Week celebration, Environmental Scientist, Olivia Boyer, was featured in a Q+A article in both High Profile Magazine and the New England Real Estate Journal

Published in High Profile Magazine March 2026:

Olivia Boyer is an Environmental Scientist at TFMoran. She graduated Cum Laude from Plymouth State University with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology. She has completed the Wetlands Certificate program at the University of New Hampshire and is currently pursuing her GIS certificate. Olivia brings experience in structural and environmental assessments of stream crossings, environmental and water quality monitoring, aquatic habitat restoration, native wildlife research, and ArcGIS analysis.
What is one project that you are most proud of, and how did it impact your organization or community? One project I am most excited about is a multi-property shoreline stabilization effort along the Piscataqua River. The design incorporates a hybrid living shoreline approach, combining hard armor with native vegetation—an increasingly effective solution for communities impacted by coastal storms. By coordinating improvements across adjacent properties, the project not only strengthens bank stability and protects homes from storm surge, but also enhances foraging and nesting habitat through the use of native plant species. It reflects a balanced approach that supports both resilience and ecological function.
Who has inspired you most in your career, and what advice would you share with the next generation of women entering the Architecture/Engineering/Construction industry? Throughout my career, I have been inspired by the strong professional relationships I have built within our industry. My advice to women entering the A/E/C field is to invest in your team—both internally and externally. Build meaningful relationships with colleagues, consultants, contractors, and engineers. Cultivating mutual respect and collaboration creates a trusted network of knowledgeable professionals you can turn to for guidance, perspective, and support throughout your career.
