About Us: Our History
| |
In 1918, Edward Pickering, Jr. embarked on a mission to provide land surveying services to communities in Bucks County, PA, founding the organization that will become Pickering, Corts & Summerson, Inc.
Registered surveyors Edward Pickering III and Howard T. Corts expanded the firm's services in 1953 by hiring professional engineer Gerald J. Summerson, forming the partnership known as Pickering, Corts & Summerson. The company focused on design and construction projects in the Bucks County region.
In 1962, Pickering, Corts & Summerson was chartered as a corporation with Edward Pickering III as the company's first President, Howard T. Corts as Vice President, and Gerald J. Summerson as Secretary/Treasurer.
In 1966, Pickering, Corts & Summerson, Inc. moved to Newtown Township, PA, following an opportunity for growth resulting from the design and construction of Interstate 95. Continued success allowed us to relocate to the heart of Newtown Borough in 1979.
An expanding list of regional clients motivated the opening of a second office in Hopewell Township, NJ in 1986. Our Company's growing reputation for providing quality design and inspection services in New Jersey increased our work load and allowed us to relocate in 1990 to a larger facility in Pennington, NJ. In 2007 our New Jersey office was relocated to West Trenton to better serve our clients.
We opened our third office in Plymouth Meeting, PA, northwest of Philadelphia, in 2000 to respond to the growing demand for services in the Chester and Montgomery County area.
After 26 years at our Newtown Borough location, PC&S moved its corporate headquarters to a larger facility on the outskirts of Newtown in 2002.
Our continued success has allowed us to pursue our most recent venture in 2005, which was the opening of our fourth office in Center Valley, PA, just south of Allentown. This expansion will allow us to better serve our public and private clients in the greater Lehigh Valley area.
We continue to look towards the future and use the history of our successes to guide our growth.
