The integration of Halvorson and Tighe & Bond enables both parties to expand on service offerings, such as landscape architecture, land use planning and coastal/waterfront resiliency. Additionally, Halvorson gives Tighe & Bond a strategic presence in Boston, strengthening the engineering firm’s position in the Northeast and bringing the total number of offices to 11 across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Maine. In turn, Halvorson expands its geographic reach and gains a larger client base, especially for potential projects in the institutional and state and local government sectors.
This expansion is another step in Tighe & Bond’s ability to collaborate with clients, think holistically about their assets and needs and deliver comprehensive, integrated solutions under the firm’s Whole Asset Approach.
“As the engineering industry continues to evolve toward more complete solutions, expanding our landscape architecture capabilities became a clear objective in order to better meet client needs," said Tighe & Bond President and CEO Bob Belitz. "It was important for us to find a partner that shares the same vision, culture and technical excellence, and we found that in Halvorson Design. We welcome this talented team to our firm.”
“Over the years, our firms have successfully collaborated, revealing synergies in our respective company cultures and the outstanding work provided to clients," said Robert Uhlig, Halvorson Design’s President and CEO. "We quickly recognized our two highly accomplished firms were complementary on many levels, and together, we would be a better, stronger firm. Both firms agreed that joining forces would benefit clients across the Northeast and provide new opportunities for employees.”
