Celebrating National Surveyors Week 2025!
TFMoran Celebrates Women in Construction Week!
It’s National Women in Construction Week 2025! Organized by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), Women in Construction (WIC) Week, with the theme of “Together We Rise” celebrates the strength and knowledge of women and the vital role they play for the future of the construction industry. This year WIC Week is running from March 2nd-8th, shines a spotlight on the incredible women shaping the construction industry and honors the achievements of women in a variety of roles—from builders, engineers, and surveyors to project managers, administrators, and leaders.
WIC Week not only celebrates the vital contributions women make across the construction sector, but it also aims to raise awareness and inspire future generations to pursue careers in this dynamic field. Since its inception in 1998, NAWIC has used WIC Week as a platform to promote the success and impact of women in construction. As we mark the 27th year of WIC Week, let’s continue to build on this legacy and inspire change for a more inclusive and diverse industry!
For this year’s WIC Week celebration, TFMoran Environmental Scientist, Kyra Higgins, was featured in a Q+A article in both High Profile Magazine and the New England Real Estate Journal

Kyra Higgins is an Environmental Scientist at TFMoran. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Conservation and Sustainability from the University of New Hampshire. She is passionate about environmental education as well as finding innovative, nature-based, equitable solutions to the pressing natural resource and climate-related issues.
Kyra says a project she is most proud of is a Wetland Functional Assessment Report she completed in Fall of 2023 for a large residential development in Bedford, NH. She says, “With a tight deadline, I worked overtime to ensure the report was thorough and detailed, particularly on wetlands and proposed avoidance techniques. A few weeks later, the NHDES reviewer praised the report for its organization and use of their Wetland Rules. This feedback was rewarding, as it showed that my hard work made a positive impact while strengthening TFMoran’s Relationship with NHDES. It was encouraging for future coordination and finding common ground between developers and state agencies”
Kyra’s mom has been her biggest inspiration in her career. Kyra says, “She worked full-time while always balancing family and career. She left the finance industry to become a fitness trainer, following her passion. Her journey reminds me to pursue what excites and motivates me.” Kyra’s advice to the next generation of women in AEC: ” Find your passion, even if it takes time, and trust that when you’re passionate, you’ll do your best work!”

TFMoran Attends Unitil Kingston Solar Facility Groundbreaking
On August 20, 2024, a groundbreaking ceremony marked the start of construction for the Unitil Kingston Solar Facility; New Hampshire’s first utility-owned solar farm.
Once completed, this facility will feature 11,232 solar panels, making it one of the largest in the state, generating 4.9 megawatts of renewable energy. Located on 36 acres of vacant land adjacent to an electrical substation off Towle Road in Kingston, the project aligns with the region’s commitment to renewable energy initiatives in New England.
“Our vision is to transform the way our customers meet their evolving energy needs. We’re very passionate about not only expanding clean energy resources here in New England, but also about bringing affordable energy to our customers.”
Thomas Meissner, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Unitil
The solar farm will cover approximately 27 acres, housing panels, inverters, transformers, and other essential equipment. The electricity generated will be fed directly into Unitil’s distribution system. In its first year, the facility is projected to produce around 9.7 million kilowatt-hours, with an average output of 8.6 million kilowatt-hours annually over its anticipated 40-year lifespan.
Approval for the project was granted by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission in 2023. Under state law, utilities can invest in renewable energy generation up to 6% of their total distribution peak load, allowing Unitil the capacity to develop up to 18 megawatts of renewable energy.
“I believe that if the government is going to encourage renewable energy, we should make sure that there are clear benefits. I am hopeful that this project will set a great example of how a rate-payer focused, all-of-the-above approach to energy can lead to success for Granite Staters.”
Jared Cicoine, Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Energy
Scheduled for completion in 2025, the facility will utilize single-axis tracking solar panels that adjust throughout the day to follow the sun’s path. While energy storage is not part of the initial plan, the design allows for future integration of storage solutions.

TFMoran Stormwater Department: Balancing Infrastructure and Nature in Nashua, NH
The TFMoran Stormwater Team is working with R.S. Audley of Bow, NH on the NHDOT F.E. Everett Turnpike widening project that includes replacing two 70-year-old bridges over Bowers Pond; the main source of Nashua’s water supply. The TFMoran team prepared the stream diversion, dewatering, erosion control, and stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) for the project.
In addition to preparing the environmental plans for the project, TFMoran’s EPA Certified personnel are providing turbidity monitoring while R.S. Audley is performing in-water work to confirm the project is compliant with the NH Surface Water Quality Standards.
Preparatory work began in the spring on a new six-lane bridge that will cross Bower’s Brook and Pond, a reservoir located beneath the F.E. Everett Turnpike, connecting Nashua and Merrimack between Exits 8 and 10. This work includes placing fill material in the pond where the new bridge approaches are and monitoring the material for settlement prior to constructing the new bridges.
While ensuring smooth traffic flow during this vital highway widening project from Nashua to Bedford has been a primary focus, equally important is safeguarding the drinking water supply and protecting the wildlife in the surrounding undeveloped woods.
