One team for the whole life of the facility.
Most engineering firms hand over drawings and move on. We stay. The engineers who design your systems also commission them, write the switching procedures, and come back years later for the upgrade. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection, all in house.
Studies
Know what you have before you spend.
Design
Built to be maintained without an outage.
Commissioning
Proven before it carries load.
Operations
Still there after turnover.

On-call engineering and owner's representation
For clients who want an engineer who already knows the site. Many of our clients keep us on call for general engineering, third-party reviews and owner's representation between major projects.
Expertise built on decades of mission critical work.
Data centers
AI GPU clusters and HPC. Liquid cooling with CDUs and rear-door heat exchangers. 400 V class rack power distribution. Water-cooled mainframes. Modular, containerized and off-site constructed facilities. Design for concurrent maintainability, including checkerboarded mechanical power. Uptime Institute Accredited Tier Designer on staff.
Electrical systems
Medium-voltage distribution and utility intertie switchgear. Generator plants and paralleling switchgear, including multiple 20 MW campus plants. Double-ended substations. UPS systems. Static and automatic transfer switches. PDUs, RPPs and busway. Hardened control systems and SCADA/EPMS. Selective coordination, short circuit and arc flash studies.
Mechanical systems
Central chilled water plants. Air-side and water-side economizers. Computer room cooling. Chilled water and make-up water storage. Building automation, sequences of operation and controls. Pre-action and clean agent fire suppression. Fuel storage and polishing. Design for cold weather and part-load conditions.
On-site power and sustainability
Microgrids and peak shaving. Natural gas generation. EPA Tier 2 and Tier 4 diesel plants. Battery energy storage. Electrification and water conservation.
Small by design. Senior on every project.
Mission critical infrastructure is our core business.
About 90% of our projects are data centers, central plants and campus power distribution. It is not one market among many.
Our engineers design, commission and operate.
Time in the field during construction and occupancy makes our engineers better designers.
We do the work other firms subcontract.
Power system studies, third-party reviews, owner's representation and third-party commissioning are all done by our own staff.
We live with our designs.
Client relationships that run 10, 15 and 20 years mean we see how our systems perform over their whole life, and we bring that to the next project.
