Building and Facilities
View our Building and Facilities Projects As a full-service consulting engineering firm, we offer the convenience of meeting all your needs with one firm for your facilities
and
information technology (IT) projects. This includes complete planning, design, renovation
and restoration,
construction-related services, and administration. Our experience includes single and multistory buildings, large production-related projects,
bridges and special structures such as tanks, dams, locks, and
sea walls; and structural cabling, network installation, and
administration.
Key Benefits
• We offer comprehensive "one stop shopping" for almost all design disciplines required on a given project.
This includes structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection, and civil/site design services.
• The same project manager will oversee your project from conception through ribbon cutting…and beyond. Clients may be confident
that no matter how big or small the project, there will always be a single point-of-contact within our firm.
• Our philosophy with every client is the same: we want to serve you for years and decades, not just for the duration of a single
project.
Civil/Site
Our civil/site work includes survey and site
layout and design. Our site design expertise and
experience includes stormwater management and utilities
design, traffic and environmental impact analysis, and
regulatory and zoning ordinance compliance. By virtue of our extensive
engineering experience, we have developed a thorough understanding of
how to combine the different elements, depending
on the need and characteristics of the area being served,
create an effective and efficient plant site. With our
3-D laser scanner we have the ability to acquire locations for
almost every piece of critical information, resulting in a
cost-effective survey product that provides greater unobstructed
detail in a shorter project delivery time and with higher
accuracy.
Structural Engineering
Our structural group is comprised of 8 registered professional engineers with an average of more than 16 years experience in structural
engineering. Many maintain professional registrations in multiple states. Five of our structural engineers hold Master of Science degrees
in structural engineering. Our project experience includes low
and medium rise buildings as well as bridges, tanks, towers, dams, retaining structures, and tunnels.
Unlike many purely structural firms, our structural engineers have in-depth knowledge of the architectural details of buildings such as
cladding, roofing, doors, windows, and finishes. We understand the issues faced by our design-build and architect partners. We are typically
involved in construction observation on our projects, providing valuable experience to our staff and giving our clients peace of mind.

Architectural Services
We have successfully completed a wide range of architectural design projects from programming and early conceptualization through final design and
construction. We utilize a whole approach using Building
Information Modeling (BIM), which improves coordination
of building mechanical systems and the ability of
designers to visualize the space. We have extensive experience in the planning and space needs evaluation of municipal and private buildings and facilities.
This includes ADA and code compliance reviews, development of building programs,
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), architectural design, and construction phasing and scheduling.
Areas of expertise include Fire/Police/EMS facilities, multi-function municipal buildings, park and recreational facilities, adaptive
reuse of existing buildings, and historic preservation.

We will work with your community from the start to review space requirements and grant options, develop building programs, assist in site
selection, and produce schematic drawings and opinions of probable cost. We will work with municipal staff and citizen committees to make
buildings fit the needs and budget of the community.
Mechanical/HVAC
We provide full-service HVAC and refrigeration engineering and consultation services and have completed dehumidification projects for
a number of facilities throughout the upper Midwest. Our engineers have the expertise to design
HVAC, refrigeration, and dehumidification systems for all types of buildings and applications, ranging from light commercial to industrial, including
specialty occupancy areas such as laboratories and chemical storage facilities.
Electrical
Our electrical staff is well equipped to manage today's complex electrical service needs. We have the expertise to develop sophisticated
systems, including distributed controls with PLCs, RTUs, and computer interface, and UPS, for support, communication, fire
protection, and security. In addition, we offer design services for lighting and energy management systems, which are essential components
of all successful projects.Our electrical design experience has included large facilities with 69,000-volt services and small offices with standard 120/240-volt
services, as well as multimetered facilities for condominiums and apartments. Other system design experience includes exterior, architecturally-selected
area lighting for offices, schools, and industrial facilities.

Plumbing and Fire Suppression
Our plumbing engineers, in coordination with our waste treatment specialists, design sanitary, storm, and process pretreatment systems
for our clients. These engineers also design compressed air, natural gas, potable water, high temperature washdown, and other process
utilities systems.
In addition, we have the expertise to design fire suppression systems for refrigerated warehouses using fire pump, ESFR, LDO, potassium,
and chloride
systems as required by local code or insurance underwriters’ criteria.
SCADA
In order to properly design a SCADA system, the engineer must have a thorough understanding of the industry and remain current with the
ever-changing technology. This familiarity must be with both
hardware software. Accordingly, we are listed
as integrators for two leading “Human-Machine” interface (HMI) software packages. This familiarity, in combination with our
knowledge of Programmable Logic Control (PLC)-based control systems, gives us the unique ability to specify a system that will allow the
flexibility to use any vendor familiar with PLC technology and to easily add to the system in the future. Clients have found this to be
a considerable benefit because of the cost-savings associated with using commercially-available systems and hardware.
