Stone & Webster

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stone & Webster was an American mechanical engineering company based in Stoughton , Massachusetts . Stone & Webster was founded in Boston in 1889 by Charles A. Stone and Edwin S. Webster , two electrical engineering students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , and worked primarily in the field of process engineering for the petrochemical and chemical industries and power generation. The company was instrumental in building facilities and laboratories for the Manhattan Project .

Stone & Webster was bought by The Shaw Group in 2000 . In 2012 Technip Stone & Websters took over process engineering from "The Shaw Group". The takeover of "The Shaw Group" and thus the remaining parts of Stone & Webster's company by the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company led to the establishment of the sub-company "CB&I Stone & Webster". This comprised Stone & Webster's nuclear energy applications and was in turn sold to Westinghouse Electric Company in 2016 .
