W.T. Whalen Engineering Co. has been a cornerstone of engineering and land surveying services in the greater Attleboro area since its establishment in 1935 by William T. Whalen. Initially, the company served both private clients and government entities, providing pivotal land surveying and engineering expertise at various significant locations, including Fort Devens and the Walsh-Kiaser shipyard. In 1947, Mr. Whalen officially opened a full-time engineering service, operating out of his family home, where he worked alongside his family for three decades.
The company saw a significant transition in 1977 when it moved from the family homestead to a dedicated professional building. Following the passing of its founder in 1978, leadership passed to his sons, William and Paul Whalen, who maintained the company’s commitment to delivering quality service. In 1987, Mark T. Whalen, the founder's grandson, joined the firm full-time after completing his engineering education at the Wentworth Institute in Boston. Mark became the sole owner in 2001 and has since continued the legacy of providing high-quality and trustworthy engineering services.
W.T. Whalen Engineering Co. specializes in land surveying and land use consultations, catering to the needs of builders, developers, and homeowners alike. Their team is well-regarded for their detailed and reliable surveying work, making them a trusted partner for comprehensive studies of both commercial and residential properties. In 2008, the company relocated to its current facility at 481 Mount Hope Street in North Attleboro, reflecting its long-standing commitment to progress and professionalism while maintaining a strong familial foundation. For over three generations, the company has built a reputation for excellence that is synonymous with the W.T. Whalen name.
