A Big “Thank You” from the Philippines as TFMoran donates to “Help the Hunger”

The village of Mangagoy Bislig, Philippines couldn’t be more appreciative, having received much needed food supplies as their families struggle during this Coronavirus pandamic. The bags of food given to each family were provided by donations made through a GoFundMe page called “Help the Hunger” created by Dahriz Colwell. Dahriz is the wife of TFMoran’s seacoast division manager and a principal of the company, Corey Colwell, LLS.

The Philippines village is Dahriz’s hometown and she wanted to help in anyway she could.  Dahriz got busy at her sewing machine creating masks that she donated to help keep her neighbors and others stay safe during the pandemic crisis.  In turn, people offered to pay for their masks. Though the masks were free, Dahriz offered a suggestion of donating to her cause through the GoFundMe page. And, people were glad to do so, making a difference in many lives who are less fortunate.

TFMoran made a $500 contribution as a thank you to Dahriz for supplying TFMoran’s Bedford and Portsmouth offices with masks for every employee. To date $1,155 has been raised as a result of Dahriz’s mask-making efforts. 100% of the proceeds go directly to food for her hometown village.

TFMoran was thrilled to receive photos from Dahriz of the smiling village residents gratefully receiving colorful bags filled with much needed food supplies, and for their extra effort in making a “Thank You” banner and taking photos. We appreciate Dahriz and the Colwell family for their compassionate community involvement, locally and in the Philippines.

May 28, 2020 | 0 Comments | , , ,

TFMoran engineers are working for developers Interchange Development, LLC to design and permit a proposed multi-phase mixed-use development to be known as Concord Crossing II on Whitney Road near I93 Exit 17. The 43-acre site would be one of the largest recent mixed-use developments in central New Hampshire. TFMoran’s services include master-planning, civil/site engineering, traffic engineering, permitting, and landscape architecture. The project is expected to be heard by the Concord Planning Board this summer.

Phase One of the 200,000sf development will include an 80,775sf Market Basket store – the third Market Basket in Concord – with an attached 22,000sf retail space, and a new state-of-the-art 12,000sf New Hampshire Liquor and Wine Outlet. It also includes the existing Dunkin’ Donuts – Mobil/Xtramart gas/convenience store. The project also includes a new two-lane roundabout at Hoit Road (Route 4) and Whitney Road.

Phase 2 will consist of seven more pad sites housing retail shops, restaurants, a bank, medical offices, and a wireless communications facility. The third phase introduces a new industrial parcel to accommodate a 45-60,000sf distribution/warehouse/manufacturing facility. The parcels would all be served by City sewer and water.

Check out the progress so far on Phase I, video courtesy of Interchange Development and Market Basket.

New Survey Drone Services are Off the Ground!

May 27, 2020 | 0 Comments | , ,

Eric Salovitch, TFMoran Certified Drone Pilot

 

TFMoran is excited to announce we have launched new survey services via drone, operated by Survey Technician and FAA Part 107 Certified Pilot, Eric Salovitch, SIT. Eric works out of TFMoran’s Seacoast Division office and is available for any project that would benefit from this new technology.


New Drone Survey Services include:

  • Aerial Mapping
  • Aerial Imagery
  • Structural Inspections
  • Construction Monitoring
  • Volume Calculations
  • Video Inspections
  • Mapping for Conceptual Design

TFMoran’s first drone project was to produce a topographic survey on a private residential road to depict low areas which are causing drainage issues. The area of interest was relatively flat with no obvious areas of relief. TFMoran were able to utilize UAV technology to limit the time the field crew had to spend in the roadway. We were able to capture millions of points along the roadway. That data was adjusted to survey grade control. The client is now not only able to identify low points in the pavement solving their drainage issues, but can also identify every pothole along the stretch of road.

There are many advantages of using UAV.  We were able to keep field crews safe and out of the traveled way. We were able to provide the client with more data. We have a survey grade location every 0.3’ compared to conventional data which is 45’ +/-. Since this is a private community, TFMoran provided a few aerial images to the client which is a by-product of our survey. It doesn’t take us any additional time to capture these photos and is a great complimentary product.

We are looking forward to our next Aerial Mapping project!
