Company History

C&C Consulting Engineers, LLC, is a consulting engineering firm that has been providing a full range of services to government clients in New England area for over seventy years. The firm was incorporated in 1930 as the John M. Farley Company, providing professional engineering and land surveying services. During the 1930's, the firm became the Leonard S. Wegman Company. In 1938, John Hayden started the engineering firm of Hayden, Harding, and Buchanan Company. This firm prospered and established branch offices in several northeast United States cities, including Boston. In the early 1970's, the two firms merged under the name Hayden-Wegman, Inc.

On September 1, 2000, the Boston operations of Hayden-Wegman were purchased and re-organized to become C&C Consulting Engineers, LLC. The new firm was certified shortly thereafter as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and/or Minority Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the States of New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York.

Technology



Our engineers and drafters are proficient in working with a variety of highway, traffic, and hydraulic design software. These include, but are not limited to: AutoCAD, Land Desktop, MicroStation, Hydraflow, STAAD, and Virtis. All design drawings are produced in AutoCAD format. We have a library of customized software for specialty designs including profiles, wheelchair ramps, strain poles, and mast arms. We also maintain an extensive library of special provisions, construction estimate forms, and design details. We also have access to a variety of word processing, graphic, and presentation software.

All data is safeguarded by nightly backup operations. A regimen of incremental and full backups ensures the recovery of any lost data, as well as regeneration of older information, if needed. Projects are routinely archived on Zip disks after each submission or at the completion of significant milestones. These archives are filed with correspondence and other project documents.

C&C Engineers uses a variety of software applications in the planning and design of roadway and traffic engineering projects. Highway Capacity Software (HCS release 2.1g) is used to analyze capacity of signalized and unsignalized intersections and signalized arterials. This software is based on the methods published in the Highway Capacity Manual by the Transportation Research Board. We also use Synchro Professional, a capacity analysis program that optimizes signal timing for multiple locations. This program is used for the analysis of isolated signals and/or complex grids of signals containing up to 300 intersections. These programs are used for the analysis of conditions of vehicle coordination and progression on multi-signal installations usually found on major arterial highways. C&C has expanded the capability of these basic traffic analysis programs with a series of computerized routines and spreadsheets that were developed by members of our staff. These program enhancers include software for traffic signal clearance timing, queue length determination, and accident crash rate determination, among others. Finally, we have developed other enhancers that assist in the design of handicapped accessible wheelchair ramps and other aspects of design function.

Quality Control Policy

C&C Consulting Engineers, LLC, has a firm commitment to quality control of all of its projects. Reviews are conducted through a two-phased approach:

  • Phase 1 - In the first phase, a principal or senior member of the firm conducts a review of all reports, plans, specifications, estimates, and other documents to assure that all commitments of the contract have been met, and that directives received from the client and any reviewing agencies have been addressed in a satisfactory manner.

  • Phase 2 - In the second phase, an independent team of professionals not previously involved in the project conducts a peer review. During this second phase, the concentration will be on the designer's conformance to all Federal, State, and local design requirements.
    •

    Municipal Assistance Program

    C&C recognizes the importance of making the connection between the local traffic and transportation needs of its clients and the policy and funding mechanisms at the State and Federal administrative levels. To meet this need, we maintain our Municipal Assistance Program. This program is designed to locate funding sources, secure the necessary funding, and then to guide the development of projects through the various phases to meet all applicable fiscal and regulatory requirements with the minimum amount of delay.

    Mr. David G. Wilson, P.E. who served as the Massachusetts Highway Department District Four Director for many years, oversees our Municipal Assistance Program. He also served as an Assistant Commissioner before joining our firm. Some typical services offered to our municipal clients by Mr. Wilson through the Municipal Assistance Program include:

  • Chapter 90 Project Requests and funding coordination
  • Project Justification Reports for MHD TIP Projects
  • Liaison for project implementation at critical stages of development
  • Project tracking and funding verification
