The firm has been serving Rhode Island clients for more than a decade, Vaillancourt said, backing its commitment to one-on-one personal service with the depth of resources a 500-person firm provides. For the past five years, it has been ranked by Engineering News-Record among the Top 100 environmental engineering firms.
“As residents of Rhode Island, our local staff know the state and its complex environmental and growth issues,” Vaillancourt said. “With a local office, we can offer more face-to-face contact while continuing to work collaboratively with clients and providing the depth of our full-service firm.”
Woodard & Curran’s staff project experience in Rhode Island ranges from environmentally sensitive sustainable land development projects for commercial developers to innovative SCADA services for the municipalities of Woonsocket and Westerly.
Additional clients include the towns of Cumberland and Warren, as well as several commercial developers and industrial manufacturers. And past projects have included the successful closure of the West Kingston Town Dump/University of Rhode Island Disposal Area, a Superfund site in South Kingstown.
Woodard & Curran’s new office is at 95 Cedar St., Suite 100, Providence, RI 02903; its local telephone number is 273-1007.
