Structural Engineering Design

A successful project forms a seamless transition from the initial concept to cost-effective structural solutions. We use practical engineering coupled with advanced modeling tools to bring projects to life. Our commonsense approach to design keeps project cost and constructability in focus throughout the design process.

Electrical Engineering Design

The design of power distribution systems requires an appreciation of a facility’s unique requirements and opportunities. An understanding of a facility’s function, with respect to the present needs, reliability, flexibility, and long-term growth is fundamental to our electrical engineering designs.

Lighting Design:
We see light as a way to enhance a project design. Each project is an opportunity to create energy-efficient designs that enhance the designer’s vision for the project. Our electrical engineers and lighting designers value not only function and efficiency, but also beauty and impact. As both lighting designers and electrical engineers, we are experienced in providing comprehensive and integrated design solutions.

Facility Planning

Just like a puzzle, we can help you fit the pieces together to make your concepts come to life. Winery, processing, and production facilities all require a thorough understanding of equipment layout, regulations, and vehicular mobility to make your site high-functioning and successful.
