Thornton Tomasetti Launches Software Development Firm

Global AE firm Thornton Tomasetti has launched a privately held software development firm aimed at commercializing innovative technologies the firm has developed and utilized for in-house purposes. The new company is the first of its kind in the AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) industry.

Launch of TTWiiN – Six Initial Products

The name TTWiiN is a play on the name “Thornton Tomasetti Weidlinger Innovation accelerator.” TTWiiN was a key strategic initiative sparked by the merger of Thornton Tomasetti and Weidlinger Associates in September 2015.

TTWiiN will initially feature a collection of six products in various stages of development that come from legacy projects at Weidlinger Applied Science, Thornton Tomasetti CORE studio and other R&D efforts across the firm.

01 – TTWiiN is a new software firm spun out of Thornton Tomasetti’s R&D group CORE Studio.

Each year, TTWiiN will select additional products from the firm’s CORE studio and R&D program, its technology incubator. To be considered for migration over to TTWiiN, they need to be products or tools that will benefit from development outside of Thornton Tomasetti and have special investment or organizational needs.

The six initial products are:

The new company is overseen by a board of managers, elected by company shareholders. Additionally, an AEC technology advisory firm will assist with the initial start-up phase.

“TTWiiN gives us a platform to drive innovation in our industry and beyonds.” says Thomas Z. Scarangello, P.E., Chairman and CEO, Thornton Tomasetti, “We are taking technologies that are developed in our CORE R&D incubator and tested in real-world scenarios, then providing the necessary support and leadership to accelerate them to the next level.”
