For over 50 years, Cranston, an HFW Company, has partnered with clients to deliver engineering, planning, and design services that strengthen communities across the Southeast. Cranston, headquartered in Augusta, Ga., has been leveraging its diverse civil and structural engineering, landscape architecture, planning, and surveying expertise for more than half a century to make communities across the
heart of the Southeast safer, healthier, more accessible, better connected, resilient, sustainable, fun, and prosperous. Over the years, the firm has built a successful legacy as a trusted partner in leading collaborative, transformative change, and guiding its project partners and communities through even the most complex infrastructure challenges. The Cranston team shares a wealth of experience – from planning new residential communities, maintaining historic canal systems and dams, and designing sustainable parks and other recreational infrastructure, to serving municipalities, designing new commercial, education and medical structures, and upgrading roads and bridges – with its project partners and the communities it serves. It’s a collective experience that allows the team to collaborate confidently with the firm’s long-term project partners – partners who share Cranston's community-driven mission – to design infrastructure solutions with a level of collaborative excellence that combines creativity, innovation, sustainability, and integrity. The combined firm, headed by Cranston founder Craig Cranston, became Baldwin & Cranston Associates and, eventually, Cranston.
