ABOUT US

History

Since our founding in 1946 by Othmar Ammann, the preeminent bridge engineer, and Charles Whitney, an equally renowned designer of innovative structures, Ammann & Whitney has been synonymous with engineering excellence. The firm has won numerous awards and has been consistently recognized for technical innovation, integrity and achievement, along with an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. Ammann & Whitney is privileged to have been associated with the design and/or upgrade of many of our nation’s most notable landmarks, including the Verrazano Narrows, George Washington and Golden Gate Bridges; the Statue of Liberty; the US Capitol Building; Lincoln Center; the Washington, DC Metro; Dulles International Airport; and the Jet Blue Terminal at JFK Airport.

While the firm has been associated with unprecedented accomplishments and landmark structures, our 60+ year history has been filled with less noteworthy, but no less important, efforts. One of the benefits of being a large firm is the ability to perform and appreciate complex, “mega” projects as well as conventional and smaller scale efforts. Our broad-based staff enables us to offer our clients the range of capabilities and depth of experience found in large practices with the attention to service and quality that characterizes smaller organizations.
