Moffatt & Nichol was founded in 1945 to provide engineering services to the evolving global maritime industry. Today, Moffatt & Nichol is a leader in the planning and design of infrastructure and facilities that characterize our rivers, harbors and coastlines and an innovator in the transportation complexities associated with the movement of cargo and freight.
We offer industry-leading services in port and container terminal planning, as well as support for hinterland development, automation, environmental compliance, and alternative technologies. We have sophisticated analytical and modeling capabilities that support our coastal, environmental and water resources practice, which has grown to include habitat restoration, environmental sustainability, and air emission reduction strategies. Our expertise in dredging design, the beneficial reuse of dredged material, sediment transfer analysis, and ocean structures is practical and unparalleled. Our urban waterfront and marina practice meets the unique needs of waterfront and resort development and revitalization by addressing recreational market demands while maintaining the balance between the commercial waterfront and the environment.
Our substantial transportation practice focuses on the planning, design and construction management of urban and rural transportation systems—from highways and roadways to bridges and rail facilities and cargo transportation routes. We supplement our transportation services with our waterfront-related capabilities, offering deep foundation design, as well as state-of-the-art scour, and bridge fendering analysis and design.
Moffatt & Nichol strives to offer our clients vertically integrated services, from financial planning to environmental studies and planning, design and construction management to overall program management. With a presence around the world, we at Moffatt & Nichol continue to address today's infrastructure challenges as creative people, providing clients with practical solutions.
We strive to hire the most talented and creative people possible, knowing that success will inevitably follow when our creative employees perform advanced work that leads to practical solutions to clients' problems. Practical solutions are ones that contractors can build, are cost-effective, or that help improve our clients' operations, enabling them to be more competitive and efficient. Our blend of imagination, high-end analytics, and decades of practical experience is a distinguishing quality of Moffatt & Nichol.
