Turning Trash into Clean Energy
Closed landfills present unique challenges for development, and finding productive uses for them requires innovative engineering solutions. For over a decade, professionals from Weston & Sampson worked closely with the town of Amherst to transform a former municipal landfill into a 3.8 MW solar facility that now generates clean energy and provides significant cost savings to the community.

Make-Ready Contractor with Eversource
Weston & Sampson is officially designated a Make-Ready Contractor with Eversource for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. As such, we are one of a select few contractors approved to install the infrastructure necessary to “make ready” a site for EV charging stations. This designation is the result of close collaboration between Weston & Sampson Engineers, and Weston & Sampson CMR (Construction, Maintenance, and Repair), as design plans must be prepared ahead of each EV station installation.
The Make-Ready designation ensures that our clients receive early engagement and comprehensive solutions for individual EV projects, benefiting from our interdisciplinary EV station installation and subsequent O&M services for a seamless and integrated experience.
NEVI Vendor
Weston & Sampson is proud to be one of only three vendors selected by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. We’re helping to lead the way in creating a network of reliable fast chargers on state roadways, making Massachusetts EV-ready.
