Cranston Engineering

The Cranston team completed the civil site design and permitting for the new Comfort Suites in the center of Summerville’s shopping district. The owners of the hotel demolished the original structure and built this new 82 room hotel and a detached 5000-square foot office building in its place. The hotel is scheduled to open in January. The new Comfort Suites and office space are a great redevelopment project in the Town of Summerville and exemplifies growth in the Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester region.

Shyon Scoot and Brianna Jones completed successful summer internships in the Cranston Survey Department. Both are Civil Engineering majors at the Allen E. Paulson School of Engineering and Computing at Georgia Southern University and came well equipped with knowledge of surveying and engineering concepts. Their hands-on work in the field provided valuable assistance to survey crews and enhanced their knowledge for their return to school. "The people I’ve worked with here at... Cranston have been so informative, helpful and patient with my learning. They do everything they can to make sure that I understand what they teach me, which is something new every day! I’ll never forget the things I’ve been taught during my time here.
