Company History

Started in 1957 By wife Bea and former naval shipyard engineer Art Anderson, the first generation displaced national firms in supporting engineering overflow from the Bremerton naval shipyard. In developing the Carrier Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) with PERA(CV) in the 70's the way was paved for dual use of life extension ideas in the Washington State Ferry fleet. Later, succeeding Nickum and Spaulding as Washington State's term contractor, the company firmly established itself in the commercial design practice. Over the last 25 years the firm has continued to expand design capabilities and system analytical skills. Significant research in high performance vessel design, and behavior of moored marine structures bookends our operational research into the future of mass transit, and intermodal design. Each year has been a step up in the purpose of engineering and the consequence of our work. Ahead our knowledge base and patented work will support a rich blend of applied and theoretical engineering for the betterment of our world.
