In the years since the City of Grand Rapids contracted Moore & Bruggink to re-engineer the city's fresh water distribution service and waste treatment and holding facilities – a project that quickly established Moore & Bruggink's civil engineering capabilities – we've grown in size and depth of services.

Our infrastructure is transporting vehicles and pedestrians – and managing fresh and wastewater systems through this metropolitan area of more than a million residents and thousands of businesses.

Moore & Bruggink was founded in 1956 by partners Ray Bruggink and Millard Moore. Under the leadership of Ray Bruggink and Gary Voogt the firm continued to grow. During the 1980s, firm ownership was extended to the firm's top engineers, assuring continuity of leadership and depth of experience. Today, our employee team includes engineers, surveyors, inspectors, CAD operators, draftsmen, landscape designer, and support staff.

 
"The Moore & Bruggink brand is "Creating Community." It's what we've done for over 50 years. One of our strongest service sectors is small communities in Western Michigan. Our expertise goes beyond technical, or the science, or the implementation. We know how to add the little things that enhance a project and add "community" to every project. There is no greater reward as a Civil Engineer than to take our kids to a completed project and have them proclaim "That's cool Dad." - Bob Bruggink, President (Click here for individual Bios...)
