TFMoran Celebrates Engineer’s and Women in Construction Week!

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.

Dylan Cruess Featured in NHBR Ask the Experts

Dylan Cruess participated in New Hampshire Business Review‘s Ask the Experts: “Engineering Tech Enhances Project Design in NH”. The article takes a deep dive into recent development projects and the innovative engineering that makes the industry so exciting.

Dylan and other industry experts discuss some of the most interesting engineering projects happening in New Hampshire this year, as well as state-of-the-art design trends, energy efficiency, sustainability, and much more!

Ask the Experts: Engineering Tech Enhances Project Design in NH

What are some of the most interesting engineering projects happening in New Hampshire this year?

We are seeing many redevelopment and expansion projects throughout the State for the coming year.  The inventory of previously undeveloped land, especially in Southern New Hampshire, continues to shrink, so many of our larger projects for 2023 are on redevelopment sites where previous buildings will either be removed, renovated, or expanded to create something new.  Redevelopment and expansion projects are particularly interesting because it is necessary to incorporate the existing site conditions and utility connections into the design.

Are you seeing a change in project design as companies downsize, streamline, or expand their capabilities?

Our project design processes are constantly adapting and changing based on the AutoCAD software that we use and the requirements of our clients.  Since the COVID pandemic, working remotely outside of the office has become the norm for our company and in the broader construction industry, so we have expanded our utilization of different online file-sharing and collaboration tools to make working remotely more efficient and most importantly more accurate.

What are the latest state-of-the-art design trends that you’re seeing?

The increasing use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the most state-of-the-art design trend that we are seeing.  With high construction costs and supply chain delays, we are seeing more clients utilize BIM to virtually see the future construction of their projects.  Our primary design software, AutoCAD, can merge the designs for different aspects of a project, such as the underground utility connections with the architect’s building design model. The project team can virtually see a 3D model of the future project and determine if any conflicts will arise during construction.

How much emphasis do you see on incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability in upcoming projects?

We see a very large emphasis on incorporating energy efficiency and sustainability in just about all of our projects.  Firstly, over the last 10 years, the international building codes have been updated to include many energy efficiency requirements and standards that were previously thought to be “above and beyond. Also, with energy costs at historically high rates, our Clients are asking us to look into every possible option during the design process to increase efficiency and sustainability in an effort to reduce construction and future maintenance costs.

What are some of the best things a construction firm can do to achieve a healthy bottom line in 2023?

There is a lot of uncertainty in the economic outlook for 2023, but the industry has remained resilient and I don’t foresee any change going into the Spring construction season. As a professional service firm, I think the best thing to maintain a healthy bottom line in 2023 is to continue to focus on providing value and practical solutions to clients.

TFMoran featured in Union Leader Special ‘STEM’ Section

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!
