TPD was founded in Oaks, PA in 1989 by our current President, Kevin Johnson, PE. The firm, which was originally comprised of six employees, was founded primarily as a traffic engineering firm with highway design support capabilities. Within a few years, the firm grew significantly, requiring a relocation of the corporate headquarters to our current location in Pottstown, PA. During this time period, the firm was able to expand the areas in which we provided service to include bridge design and environmental permitting while at the same time strengthening our core service areas of traffic engineering and highway design. The firm was able to further expand our capabilities a few years later with the addition of bridge inspection, construction management and construction inspection. In addition to our expansion of services, the firm also expanded geographically, adding additional offices to allow us to better serve our growing client base.

Today, we pride ourselves on being a client-focused, team-oriented firm which operates as “One Company with Multiple Locations”. TPD’s strategically-located network of offices, progressive management structure, continuous investment in technology, and priority on individual accountability enable the firm to provide quality sustainable service, responsiveness, and local knowledge for the benefit of clients and teaming partners.

Work/life balance has become more than just a mantra at TPD, it is deeply rooted in our foundation. While clients are valued above all else, TPDers are respected at the same level. We strive to continually serve our employees by demonstrating a commitment to provide exceptional benefits, workplace perks, valuable learning experiences, and a second home for our people.

TPD takes pride in our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. We strive to embrace the things that make people unique to gain a deeper respect and understanding for each other. We firmly believe that by attracting and retaining diverse talent we will be able to better understand and leverage the diverse background of our clients, as well as the communities we support. TPD also champions a culture of inclusion and acceptance. Inclusion is welcomed and TPD creates an environment where all individuals can thrive, succeed, and bring their authentic self to work. We foster an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance, in which these individuals’ talents are able to be developed every day.
