OPEN FOR BUSINESS – HERE FOR YOU IN THE ERA OF COVID-19

Pare Corporation continues to adapt our operations in response to the disruptions caused by COVID-19. As an “essential business” providing engineering support to public infrastructure and facilities, we have put safety measures in place and all Pare staff are fully employed - many working remotely using secure systems to ensure confidentiality and data integrity. Project managers are available by phone, e-mail, and videoconferencing. Field staff are in close communication with office staff, and are following safety protocols at job sites. I am proud of the way Pare employees are actively supporting municipalities, state agencies and businesses as they adjust to this pandemic. Be assured that Pare will continue to serve clients and communities with expertise and integrity in spite of these uncertain times.

From all of us at Pare Corporation, best wishes for your health and safety.

Larry Riggs, President and CEO

Welcome to Pare Corporation.

As a multidisciplinary firm of engineers, planners, environmental and wetland scientists, GIS specialists, and regulatory permitting specialists, our clients depend on us to help them work through the anxieties of the design and permitting process while sharing their sense of urgency.

In addition to the traditional engineering and planning projects you would expect to find as you look through these pages (roads, bridges, site design, infrastructure), you will find projects and experience featuring sustainable and low-impact development, resiliency and smart growth planning, and LEED and Envision documentation for sustainability certifications.

Pare has been serving the needs of public and private clients throughout New England and the Eastern United States for five decades.

We're ready to serve you.

Hammetts Wharf Hotel

As a member of the multidisciplinary development team, Pare provided multiple engineering services for the new Hammetts Wharf Hotel in Newport, RI. This 47,000-SF, mixed-use boutique hotel includes 84 rooms and a 9,500-SF public deck overlooking Newport Harbor. Pare’s services included geotechnical engineering, traffic studies, and full site/civil design. Site work included the demolition of a two-story building, upgrades to the utility systems, the conversion of a boat ramp into a stormwater bio-retention facility, improved traffic circulation, onsite parking for 160 vehicles, and new public access along the waterfront. Pare also provided extensive project permitting to comply with the City of Newport Zoning and Planning Boards, RI Department of Environmental Management, Coastal Resources Management Council, US Army Corps of Engineers, and the RI Department of Transportation.

Rocky Point Pier Ribbon Cutting!

Pare provided engineering, permitting, and construction-phase services for the design of a new fishing pier at Rocky Point State Park for the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management. The new pier, supported on 122 new pilings, sits 13-feet above the water and has a 260-foot-long wooden walkway with benches for sitting. A 21-by-111-foot deck with a shade cupola creates a T-pier configuration. The pier’s length and location make it the only true deep-water fishing pier in Narragansett Bay, so to ensure accessibility for fishing the railings include low-cut sections for wheelchairs. Prior to design, Pare developed a site plan and performed a resiliency review which considered existing topography, FEMA mapping, and CRMC Stormtools mapping.
