MOFFATT & NICHOL ENGINEER

Building Maintenance > Engineers & Surveyors

John G. Moffatt and Frank E. Nichol spent many years in the field as engineers in charge of major waterfront construction projects. During their distinguished careers, they constantly sought to expand the boundaries of coastal engineering knowledge and to advance the quality of design for the coastal and ocean environment.

FORGED IN STEEL
When Frank Nichol and John Moffatt joined the Truscon Steel Company in the 1930s, the firm’s engineers were tasked with more than wearing down the notches on their slide rules: They were expected to work directly with architects, developing a real-world understanding of construction requirements to design and build structures as commissioned. The company manufactured prefabricated products and steel forms used for building reinforced concrete beams, floors, and walls to exacting specifications. In addition to effectively participating in what would later become the design-build approach to project delivery, the engineers were expected to step outside the comfort zone of pure design and hit the pavement in search of new clients and new work.

As Frank and John accumulated a broad range of project experience that included bridges, schools, manufacturing facilities, and farm buildings, they also acquired skillsets that would serve their future partnership and guide their successors well into the 21st century.
