Wright-Pierce has been recognized nationally and has won numerous regional and national awards for excellence in engineering design, business performance, and professional service.

Inc. Magazine Top 500/5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies
Wright-Pierce was recently named one of the country's fastest growing private companies by Inc. Magazine. Ranked according to percentage revenue growth over four consecutive years, Wright-Pierce ranked No. 78 in the engineering category with double digit growth. Wright-Pierce has earned this success by helping clients find solutions to some of the largest and most complex water, wastewater and municipal infrastructure projects in New England.

American Council Of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Awards
A comprehensive wastewater facility upgrade in Glastonbury, CT and an innovative, microfiltration membrane technology at a water facility in coastal Maine have earned Wright-Pierce two ACEC Engineering Excellence awards. Conversion of an existing secondary treatment system to a new Four-Stage Bardenpho process significantly reduces nitrogen levels in the Glastonbury facility, and state-of-the-art technology recycles water, reduces chemical use, and saves in energy and operational costs at the Mirror Lake facility in Rockport, Maine.
