Frederick Snare Corporation, formerly known as the Snare & Triest Company, was an American engineering and construction firm.
History
The Snare & Triest Company was established in the late 1890s. Frederick Snare and Wolfgang Gustav Triest, a civil engineer active in bridge construction, created the Snare & Triest Company in 1898.[1] The Snare & Triest Company was incorporated in 1900, with Snare as the President.[2] It was a privately held company with offices in Philadelphia, New York, Havana, Lima, and Columbia.
Among the engineering and construction projects completed by the Frederick Snare Corporation were pier building, constructing terminals, developing power plants, planning bridges, building sugar mills, and handling complex foundation projects.[3] Around 1912, Snare's son Frederick Snare Jr. joined the firm, eventually becoming an executive of the company in 1919.[4]
