Portland, Oregon November 12, 2008 - Harper Houf Peterson Righellis Inc. (HHPR) is celebrating 18 years of excellence in client service providing civil engineering, planning, landscape architecture and surveying, and has recently added structural engineering as a discipline. While the economic downturn has been difficult on the A/E/C industry, HHPR has maintained work load by remaining diversified with various market sectors, providing excellent client service, operating efficiently, and taking advantage of opportunities when they arise.
In August, Alpha Community Development closed its doors and approached HHPR with the intent to find a suitable home for their structural discipline.

The group consists of two Project Managers, a Project Engineer, a Designer, and a CADD Technician, all operating out of HHPR’s Clackamas office.
“Steve’s structural group has maintained a steady work load and profitability through Alpha’s downturn and we expect they will perform well under our roof. We share many of the same clients and a similar business culture of providing quality service. We believe that having in-house structural design capabilities will make our civil engineering design group better and I’m confident that our existing client base will provide many future opportunities to the structural group,” says Ron Peterson, Principal at HHPR.
