Our Story | The Thrasher Group

Successful Projects, Repeat Clientele

In 1983, a young engineer with an entrepreneurial spirit and his father, a seasoned engineer with more than 40 years of experience, joined forces to start a civil engineering firm focused on public utility infrastructure in North Central West Virginia. With a commitment to building business through “successful projects and repeat clientele,” H. Wood “Woody” Thrasher, PE and the late Henry A. Thrasher, PE formed Thrasher in Clarksburg, West Virginia.

Since that time, Thrasher has grown while remaining committed to making Thrasher West Virginia’s largest privately-owned, multi-disciplinary firm and a leading firm in the Mid-Atlantic region. Learn more…

The Changing Marketplace

Publicly funded water and wastewater projects were the backbone of the company, and continue to be a large part of its engineering division. Survey and construction monitoring and inspection services departments were added in the early years of the company to support those projects.

While keeping an eye on the changing marketplace, Mr. Thrasher expanded the company’s areas of engineering to include site development for both public and private clientele, and provided design services for transportation including roadways, bridges and airports.

We’re Not Done Yet

Based upon Thrasher’s site development planning and engineering design services for many successful building projects, in 2004 architectural design was added as a service offering. Master planning and landscape architecture are the newest disciplines added to the architecture division.

Most recently, Thrasher has been able to successfully compete and contribute to the various energy sectors including electricity, fiber, and oil and gas.

Thrasher’s geographic service area has also grown, expanding from West Virginia to the entire Mid-Atlantic region. We’re always ready for what’s next and our history has yet to be written. We’ve only just begun.
