Tighe & Bond, a Westfield-based engineering, design and environmental consulting firm with offices in Worcester, is expanding its reach by acquiring Cape Cod-based Coastal Engineering.
This acquisition of the firm specializing in engineering projects located in environmentally sensitive areas will help Tighe & Bond expand its services in coastal Massachusetts and Rhode Island, according to a press release issued by the company on Tuesday.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, nor was the impact on employee counts at both companies.
“To create a more sustainable future, there is a growing need to shore up our coastal assets and infrastructure, both existing and new. We believe adding Coastal to our team will help support our clients’ growing needs in these areas,” Bob Belitz, president and CEO of Tighe & Bond, said in the release. “In addition to our aligned missions to make a positive difference in the built and natural environment, our firms both have strong cultures of employee ownership.”
Coastal has offices in Orleans, Sandwich, Waltham, and Lincoln, Rhode Island, according to the company’s website.
“After teaming with Tighe & Bond on some projects, we realized we were aligned in our vision to create economically feasible and environmentally responsible designs, and that our firms have the potential to be stronger together,” John Bologna, the former CEO and president of Coastal, said in the press release. “We look forward to bringing our clients additional expertise, as well as providing new opportunities for our employees.”
Including the offices formerly managed by Coastal, Tighe & Bond now has 17 offices throughout the Northeast, including its Worcester office, which opened at 120 Front St. in 2019.
This acquisition comes after the company acquired WorldTech Engineering LLC of Woburn in January 2023 and Halvorson Design of Boston in January 2020.
