Manchester, NH – On Thursday, May 21, 2025, Structural Engineers of New Hampshire (SENH) held their annual Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards event at the Puritan Conference & Event Center in Manchester. Entries were judged on creativity, complexity, innovation, ingenuity, and suitability of the structural design for each of three categories: Buildings, Bridge and Transportation Structures, and Special Structures.

TFMoran was honored to receive the award in the “Buildings” category for Rockingham County Municipal Complex in Brentwood, NH, the site of a new 105,500 square foot building with 9,800 square foot enclosed courtyard. Thomas Lamb, PE, Senior Structural Engineer and Principal of TFMoran, accepted the award from SENH President, Sean Brown, PE, ENV SP .

The structural design consisted of a three-story office/support building in front of a single-story Y-shaped corrections wing with attached sallyport and enclosed courtyard. The three-story building houses the Registry of Deeds on the third floor, Attorney’s Office on the second floor and Sheriff’s Office at the first floor. The Sherriff’s office will also occupy the beginning part of the Y wing before transitioning to Corrections Department at the rear of the building. The project features a pitched gable style roof and brick façade. The building was constructed of a hybrid of steel, masonry and cold formed metal framing with intermediate reinforced masonry shear walls and special moment frames for the lateral load resisting system.

The Structural Engineers of New Hampshire (SENH) recently held their 2024 Excellence In Structural Engineering Awards event on May 16th!

Entries were judged on creativity, complexity, innovation, ingenuity, and suitability of the structural design for each of three categories; Building Structures, Bridge & Transportation Structures, and Special Structures.

TFMoran was honored to receive the award in the Building Structures category for the Highrock Church renovation in Arlington, MA.

TFMoran Structural Engineers provided structural design to repurpose a former industrial building into a worship and community center for Highrock Church. Located in Arlington, Mass., The existing building (c. 1900) originally built for manufacturing purposes, was most recently used for auto repair and parts warehousing. The project includes 19,700sf of worship and support spaces. Historic facades at the rear of the building were preserved while replacing the roof structure and retrofitting foundations for a more functional, open worship space. Repairs were also made to the existing concrete structure. A new lobby addition provides accessibility and connection to an adjacent church property.

TFMoran receives 2019 SENH Excellence in Structural Engineering Award

May 20, 2019 | 0 Comments | , ,

On Thursday, May 16, 2019 Structural Engineers of New Hampshire held their Annual Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards event at The Derryfield in Manchester, NH. Entries were judged on creativity, complexity, innovation, ingenuity, and suitability of the structural design for each of the three categories. The three categories were Buildings; Bridge and Transportation Structures; and Special Structures.

TFMoran was honored to receive the award in the “Buildings” category for Medicus Healthcare Solutions office building complex in Windham, NH. TFMoran’s Senior Structural Project Engineer, Thomas Lamb, PE (right) accepted the plaque from SENH President, Christopher R. Fournier, PE, SECB during the presentation.

Posters of each entry were on display during the meeting. Click on the pdf link to view TFMoran’s Poster or read description below to learn more:

Medicus Healthcare Solutions office building complex, located in Windham, NH, is a newly constructed three building complex. The buildings contain approximately 100,000 square feet of office space and are all connected by enclosed pedestrian bridges at the second floor. Each building is framed of a hybrid system of insulated concrete formed (ICF) walls and steel open web floor joists, beams and columns. The building is founded on concrete spread footings.

ICF walls at the exterior were chosen as an economical and energy efficient solution in lieu of the typical steel frame and metal stud curtain wall system used on most office buildings. The wall systems provided several benefits including a robust lateral load resisting system, ICF formed brick shelf, increased flexibility with façade material installation, and simplicity of connections between buildings.

A three-dimensional structural model was produced for the design of the buildings. The model was then imported into Building Information Modeling software to produce the structural drawings for the project.

Congratulations to all Award-recipients!
