BOSTON, MA — Vanderweil Engineers, a major mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and telecommunications (MEP/FP/T) engineering firm here in Boston, has successfully completed the design for phases one through five to upgrade Boston Public Schools’ telecommunications and data infrastructure.
