TFMoran Announces the Promotion of Four Senior Employees to Principals

A Message from TFMoran’s President, Robert Duval:

We are pleased to welcome these exceptional individuals into our ownership team. They embody the core values of TFMoran: engineering excellence and superior client service. Effective engineering companies require leaders who are innovators and problem-solvers. These new Principals have all demonstrated such leadership roles within our industry and within our community.

TFMoran is very proud to announce the promotion of several key employees to Principals of the firm – Nick Golon and Chris Rice in our civil engineering group, and Tom Lamb and Kyle Roy in our structural group. These individuals represent our commitment to the future. TFMoran is now in its 53rd year of operations. Although in itself a remarkable achievement, we know that our future success depends on identifying and training new generations of leadership today.

Business experts agree that succession planning is one of the hallmarks of a sound business strategy. We agree, and we believe that good succession planning means bringing new leaders into the leadership team early, to ensure a seamless transition as TFMoran continues to grow and prosper in the decades to come.

And as we prepare for the future, we want to thank each and every one of our clients for the continued faith you place in TFMoran, which has made us a mainstay of New Hampshire’s design and construction industry for over 50 years. I am very proud of TFM’s accomplishments. We take on challenging projects with aggressive schedules. We keep our focus on providing the most efficient service and the best possible value for our clients.

We take pride in what we do, and we are especially proud to be joined by this strong young leadership team of professionals who choose to live, raise their families, and put their talents to work inside the great state of New Hampshire.

TFMoran gives $3,000 to help with NH hunger during the Holidays

This year has been a challenging one for many businesses, families, and individuals due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. With statewide social distancing guidelines in place, TFMoran’s annual company holiday lunch for more than sixty employees was unable to take place. Instead, TFMoran’s principals donated what would have been the cost of the holiday lunch to local food banks. It is estimated that this contribution will provide approximately 6,000 meals in total, to New Hampshire people in need.

On December 8th, Abby Sprackland from The New Hampshire Food Bank visited TFMoran’s Bedford office receiving a check from Dylan Cruess, TFMoran’s COO and Principal for $2,000. The New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of Catholic Charities New Hampshire, has been working to relieve hunger in the Granite State since 1984. The New Hampshire Food Bank procures and distributes food through more than 400 non-profit registered agencies including food pantries, low-income housing sites, family crisis centers, soup kitchens, senior nutrition centers and emergency shelters. Since the spread of COVID-19 there are approximately 1 in 7 men, women and children in New Hampshire who are food insecure, a projected 55,500 additional people and in total more than 181,090 across the state, a 69% increase.

“We are grateful to TFMoran for their generous donation which will help to provide approximately 4,000 meals this holiday season,” said Eileen Liponis, Executive Director, New Hampshire Food Bank, “The pandemic has brought on many unprecedented challenges for our neighbors this past year. No one should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, especially around the holidays.”

On December 9th, TFMoran’s Portsmouth office staff and its Division Manager and Principal, Corey Colwell, presented a $1,000 check to the seacoast food pantry Gather.  On behalf of Gather,  Seneca Adam Bernard, Associate Executive Director, and Arthur Cousins, Pantry/Warehouse Manager, accepted the donation.

Gather is based in Portsmouth, NH and serves all ages in the Greater NH Seacoast region including Rockingham and Strafford Counties. Gather’s mission is to make the Greater Seacoast a hunger-free community by distribute nourishing food to people who do not have enough to eat; take a leadership role in building an equitable and sustainable regional food system; and galvanize public support for ending hunger. Gather is also the Seacoast’s only preventative health-focused food pantry, meeting the hunger needs of this community through the provision of fresh healthy food.

TFMoran & Eckman Construction complete Welcome Center at Saint Anselm College

TFMoran and Eckman Construction recently completed a new two-story, 9,600 square foot Welcome Center for Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH. Both firms have been working together for decades on numerous projects to expand and improve the college campus.  Eckman Construction led the NH-based Design/Build team for the new Welcome Center.  In addition to TFMoran, who provided surveying, civil/site design, permitting, and landscape architecture, the team also included Dennis Mires, PA as project architect.

The Savard Welcome Center is now complete and ready to welcome students back to campus for the fall semester. Located on the oldest part of the hilltop campus next to Alumni Hall, the new facility replaces the former school bookstore.  TFMoran engineers and landscape architects tailored their design and plantings to match this unique and prominent location in the heart of the college campus. Eckman Construction devised a work plan to handle the challenges of building within tight site limits, while abutting active parking lots, academic buildings, and busy pedestrian ways of the occupied campus.

The new facility houses admissions staff and serves as the first stop for prospective students and their families. Features include a large lobby space to welcome visitors, a presentation room, outdoor patio space, as well as a 1,200 square foot function room with modern AV providing space for highlighting the college’s programs, lectures, alumni reunions, homecoming, and other college events.
