Dr. Mr. Castle,
I wanted to take this opportunity to compliment you and the whole team at W.J. Castle for the excellent service you provided to us in connection with the loss of our existing bridge, the design of the temporary bridge, and the design of the new permanent replacement bridge.
As you know, due to the flooding from September 2021’s Hurricane lda, the concrete bridge, providing access from Brookville Hollow Road to our house and crossing over the brook running in front of the property, was completely destroyed. As a result, we had no vehicle access to the property and could only gain foot access from a neighboring property.
Within 2 weeks of the devastation, your team was on-site and prepared plans permitting our contractor to construct a temporary earth and stone bridge providing vehicle access to the property while you worked on the plans for the permanent replacement bridge. By the end of April 2022, our new replacement bridge was completed.
I cannot thank and compliment W.J. Castle enough for the excellent services provided to us. You and your team epitomize engineering professionalism. I say this as a retired commercial real estate attorney, having practiced for 40 years. You and your team were timely, efficient, knowledgeable, and responsive. You saved us considerable expense as the cost of materials was escalating by being efficient and timely. You appreciated our aesthetic concerns regarding the bridge’s design and the historic nature of the house and its site. Your charges were fair and reasonable, It was a pleasure working with you and your team, and recommend you and W.J. Castle without reservation.
Very truly yours,
Frederick H. Masters
Dear Mr. Castle,
On behalf of the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, I would like to thank you for the extremely professional engineering and construction services that were provided by The Castle Group and Hydro-Marine Construction on March 2nd and 3rd of this year.
As you are aware, the task of identifying and repairing an active 84-inch diameter potable water effluent line leak is not an easy endeavor. However, with your knowledge and professionalism in the underwater engineering construction industry, the task of identifying the problem with the ROV was efficient, and the subsequent coordination and repair performed by your dive group of engineers went smoothly and without incident. The repair was a complete success with minimal to no interruption of water service to our customers. Your attention to safety protocol was exceptional. The engineering services provided by the Castle Group were outstanding and the ability to think outside the box for a solution to the Commission’s pipe repair was notable.
Commission appreciates all the work, coordination and effort it took by the Castle Group to make this repair a success. We look forward to working with you on future projects.
Sincerely,
James Stachura Engineering Project Manager
Dear Bill,
I want to thank you for doing an excellent job on the underwater pier repairs supporting the former Poughkeepsi-Highland Railroad Bridge, now the Walkway Over the Hudson State Park.
From our earliest interactions on the scope of the work through completion of the as built drawings you and your team were very professional and most responsive.
The work was completed on schedule at the contracted cost with virtually no issues. This is a sign of excellent planning and execution.
Congratulations and thanks to you and all of your team members. It was a pleasure to work with you.
Sincerely yours,
Mike Duffy

In 2005, W.J. Castle, P.E. & Associates, P.C. was retained by our Chester, PA facility to perform underwater inspection, analysis and design repairs for all of our marine structures. These structures included high and low deck piers, concrete, wood and steel bulkheads, steel and timber pilings, outfall structures, etc. Rehabilitative designs were also required which included plans and specifications for bidding.
Based upon CASTLE’s performance with our Company, I would highly recommend their engineering company.”
