In honor of our 45th anniversary here is another significant moment from our history. 2015 – We formed our explorations subsidiary. The goal of creating this new company was to provide test boring explorations to support our geotechnical engineering services, allowing us more flexibility in scheduling and more control over budgeting. Before we started our explorations company, we had to rely on subcontractors for this service. Now that we can provide drilling services, we are able to be more responsive to our clients’ budget and scheduling needs. As our explorations company expanded, it began to service projects for outside clients in addition to projects involving our engineers. The firm has acquired and brought together several drilling companies from across New England and now operates as Seaboard Drilling, LLC from locations in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at S. W. Cole! Our offices will be closed today, so that our team can celebrate with family and friends.

Here is another highlight from our 45-year history! 1998 – We opened our first office in New Hampshire, marking the first time that S. W. Cole expanded beyond the borders of Maine. The move to New Hampshire was a significant step in our growth, setting the stage for continued expansion in New England. We currently have two offices in the Granite State, one in Londonderry and one in Somersworth. Scott Harmon was an early leader of our efforts in New Hampshire, becoming Office Manager of our first New Hampshire office in 1999. Scott continues to be an important part of team, working out of our Somersworth, New Hampshire location as our Construction Services Operations Manager.

As part of our intern program, we held a virtual seminar about college debt, personal finance, and budgeting. Although the seminar was aimed at our interns, it was also open to any team member who would like to attend. The program was led by Mike Tuell, John Tuell, and Jillian Thomas, Financial Advisors with ClearPoint Capital. Seminars, like this one, are designed to enhance the experience of our interns while they are working with us.

On International Women in Engineering Day, we would like to recognize Courtney Mattson, Senior Geotechnical Engineer, and Emma Dennis, Staff Geotechnical Engineer. Courtney and Emma are both valuable members of our engineering team, and we appreciate their hard work and commitment to their profession. We would also like to recognize our team members who are currently enrolled in engineering programs: Assistant Construction Services Manager Kaylie O'Sullivan, and our interns/student employees Alex, Cassie, Erin, Kirsten, Lilia and Sharon. The purpose of International Women in Engineering Day is to promote the work being done by women engineers and to encourage more young women to consider a career in engineering. #INWED24
