Westwood is committed to nurturing future talent through community outreach, engaging local students in STEM and CTE programs. Our collaboration with school districts provides hands-on experiences in civil engineering, inspiring curiosity and strengthening the local workforce.
In today's data-driven world, the demand for data centers is skyrocketing, making strategic site selection more crucial than ever. Discover the importance of "test fits"—preliminary assessments that evaluate site viability by analyzing land characteristics, zoning regulations, and potential barriers
The world is a noisy place. As the need continues for more energy, homes, and other infrastructure, the potential for noise pollution and other noise-related issues increases. That’s where acoustical engineering comes in – assisting across the planning, construction, and operating phases to provide a path for new infrastructure and surrounding communities to live in harmony.
Whether you are in the concept stage or preparing for construction, there are BESS requirements you may be forgetting.
Vegetation selection may not be the first thing you think of when working on a solar project, but it is important for aesthetics, maintenance, and the longevity of the system. Learn why choosing non-native or invasive plants can place a financial burden on the project and strategy for helping the pollinator population.
As wind turbines reach towering new heights, the logistics of delivering and installing these next-gen giants becomes increasingly complex. Discover how specialized field services can navigate the challenges of scale for wind projects in our latest blog
An Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) is performed to select the best-value intersection design and traffic control solution. Learn more about when it should be used, what’s included, and its benefits.
Westwood's GIS professionals provide valuable data on projects within every market we serve. Although there are many benefits to using GIS on a project, four stand out for improving accuracy in project deliverables and keeping private development and public infrastructure projects on schedule.
When planning a repower project, there are careful considerations that must be made to ensure success. One of the most important steps is acquiring the right permits. From environmental challenges to the transportation of equipment and materials, these are permits you must consider before you begin a repower project.
Renewable energy has been on the rise for years now, but what happens when these sources reach the end of their initial life cycle? That's where repowering comes in. Not only does repowering allow project owners to continue benefiting from renewable energy, but it also has a positive impact on the industry. Join Mark Anderson, PE, PMP, Director, Wind, as he unpacks the benefits of repowering turbines and how it can help us move towards a more sustainable future.
Reflecting on this past year, we are proud of our many significant milestones, achievements, teamwork, and innovations.
In June 2023, we acquired Texas-based Peloton Land Solutions. Richard Payne, PE, and Erik Hinklin, PE, from Peloton, share their journey of overcoming initial concerns and embracing the future as 'One Team.'
