Weston & Sampson

Weston & Sampson, listed in Reading, is a design, engineering and environmental services firm working with cities, towns and utilities across the Northeast and, increasingly, the Southeast. The company’s construction services group oversees contractors, reviews bid documents for constructibility and negotiates change orders to keep project costs under control. Other teams plan and design water distribution systems, wastewater upgrades, public works facilities, salt sheds, gymnasiums and park spaces.

The firm traces its history to 1899 and today is owned entirely by its employees. Sustainability runs through much of its work, from rain gardens and flood reduction studies to articles on turning wastewater into a renewable energy asset for real estate and communities. Weston & Sampson also operates and maintains water and wastewater systems under contract, staffing them with licensed and certified professionals. Recent work includes dam rehabilitation at the Arlington Reservoir and the redevelopment of Bartlett Yard.
