TFMoran Stormwater Department: Balancing Infrastructure and Nature in Nashua, NH

September 26, 2024 | 0 Comments | , , , , , ,

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.

Attendees enjoyed the amenities the site still has to offer, including a driving range, and a mini golf course that is staying at the site until the facility is further expanded.

NH Governor Chris Sununu attended, as well as representatives from Marmon Holdings, and TFMoran Principal Nick Golon.

TFMoran Attends Union Leader Symposium Series: Women in Engineering

March 25, 2021 | 0 Comments | , ,

On March 24, the Union Leader hosted a virtual Women in Engineering Symposium. During this event, panelists discussed their own experiences and provided tips for other women to succeed in 2021. This is the second year TFM was a corporate sponsor for this event.

Panelists included Kristin Smith, Ph. D., MPH Research Associate Professor of Sociology at Dartmouth College; Nikki Delude Roy, PG Vice President of GeoInsight, Inc.; Laurie Perkins, PE Associate Vice President, of Wright-Pierce; and Heidi L. Caprood, PE Project Manager, of Sanborn Head & Associates, Inc..

65 participants joined the discussion by answering poll questions regarding their own work / life balance.

A conclusion that all agreed upon was that the expectations of workers in 2021 will be directly effected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. A common theme among the panelists was flexibility. Especially as working mothers, the women panelists felt that the outcome of all this is that people will continue to work schedules that work for them without the stigma previously attached to it. In the midst of the pandemic, companies have found that flexible hours and schedules can work, especially when balancing work and life. In a poll, participants were asked whether they feel they have a good work/life balance in 2021. 65% of participants said they feel so-so, while 19% said they don’t and 16% said they do.

It was a very interesting discussion to attend! Thank you to the Union Leader for putting this together!

The Symposium is now available on-line.

TFMoran featured in Union Leader Special ‘STEM’ Section

February 23, 2021 | 0 Comments | , ,

Engineers Week is here! The New Hampshire Union Leader has presented a special edition this week to promote ‘STEM’ professions and to celebrate Engineers for all that they do. This special section includes a recent TFMoran project, the NH SportsDome on the front page! TFMoran Principal, Nick Golon spoke of the trials and tribulations that came with this first-of-its-kind structure in New Hampshire:

“Given its magnitude, siting the structure to minimize sightlines from adjacent properties, while maintaining required setbacks, and providing the necessary utility infrastructure were challenging issues. Another significant element was snow removal, to make sure that snowfall would not pose any risk of damage to the structure. Site grading and drainage were carefully designed so that snow and snowmelt could be conveyed safely and efficiently away from the structure and surrounding parking through an open drainage system of swales and infiltration basins.”

In other exciting TFMoran news, the announcement of our new Principals was also featured!
