Our HistoryFounded in 1977 by W. L. Thompson, Thompson Ehle Company offers a comprehensive package ofengineering services including:Mechanical EngineeringElectrical Engineering Lighting DesignPlumbing/Fire Protection EngineeringCivil Engineering Water Features DesignTechnology Infrastructure DesignCommissioning Facility AssessmentOur PhilosophyOur business, consulting engineering, is a balance of art and science based on a foundation ofknowledge and skills acquired through years of study and practical experience. To be successful,any Project must subscribe to total organizational loyalty. The 3-tier commitment includes: Designing to ethical and professional standards Providing the client with engineering solutions Delivering a quality product on time and in budgetThe design approach includes planning, organization, proper staffing, effective direction, andcontrol over the decision-making process. In order to provide proper up-front planning of aproject, six planning elements must be considered and implemented at the beginning of theproject. These elements must be maintained and/or adjusted as needed as the project movesthrough development. The six planning elements include:Establish realistic objectiveProgram tasks to achieve objectivesSchedule tasks in a sequential time-frameBudget efforts to accomplish tasksIdentify and resolve constraints to design processDevise strategies to ensure profitability and success

Our ApproachIn the TEC organization it is the Project Manager’s task to establish realistic objectives to be accomplished by the Team during thedevelopment of a project. To establish these objectives, the Project Manager (PM) must ensure that the Team has a completeunderstanding of the project requirements.The PM programs the required tasks associated with meeting scheduled milestones to set realistic objectives.Tasks include: Client, QA/QC, and internal reviews; information transfers; and milestone submittals. It iscritical that the PM conveys all associated tasks that are essential to the planning process to the Team.Once the objectives have been defined, and the tasks associated with their achievementhave been programmed, the PM and Team schedule the tasks in the proper order tobe successful. Scheduling is an art rather than a science; however, business realitiesmake scheduling essential. High quality work can be maintained only ifproper time is given to the production and review/revision of the work.The PM and the Team have set realistic objectives, definedthe tasks for plan development, and scheduled thetasks for success. Through our combined efforts, we nowhave a defined program to complete the project, andbudgeted efforts by discipline and phase to completethe tasks.The devised strategies ensure that projects remainsuccessful and profitable by creating advantageousconditions, recognizing differing objectives which cancreate conflict, analyzing alternatives, and creatingacceptability and scheduling performance.Our team consists of a mixture of Senior Principals, ProjectManagement, and Senior Engineer staff as well as productionstaff and our Quality Control department. We believe it allowsfor the best mix of service, quality control and engineering experienceto be brought to the project.TEC’s unrivaled experience serves our clients today no matter wherethey are located, what type of project they offer, or what specialneeds each project demands. We are innovative in our approachto each project and strive to make each design meet the objectivesand requirements set by the Owner and Architect. Our firm offers a teammember that is unequaled in its commitment to the success of the project.

TEC’s commitment to the planning and development processes and the production of plansand specifications sets us apart from other engineering firms. Thompson Ehle Companyis committed to taking a proactive role in promoting the design of facilities that significantlyreduces or eliminate the negative impact on the environment and occupants.Sustainable DesignOur LEED Accredited Professionals play a key role in ensuring that an integratedsustainable design approach sets environmental goals, defines “Green”design intent and establishes definable metrics is achieved on all projectsthat have LEED accreditation as a goal.Thompson Ehle Company’s sustainable design services includedocumentation of LEED credits with USGBC; lighting designphotometrics; energy models and studies; energy audits andLEED Credit feasibility studies.Striving for Sustainable design is largely driven by designoptions to achieve energy savings, from building envelopeglass and insulating properties to actual systemsmodifications. Using solar to heat water used in outsideair handlers is one way design can be used to improveenergy efficiency of the building. Using demandcontrol ventilation for large occupancy areas withinthe building is another.Our CapabilitiesThompson Ehle Company’s engineering professionals workeffectively with BIM 360 Team Collaboration, Autodesk Revit BuildingDesign Suite, Autodesk AutoCAD, Solibri Clash Detection Software,Bluebeam, Trane Trace, and SKM Powertools for short circuit andcoordination study analysis. We also use our own proprietary calculationmethods that have been developed over the last 40 years based on ourexperiences of the project types and feedback from Owners, Operators andGuests after the facilities have been in operation.We consider these to be the most valuable in making sure the building have operated as they weredesigned and intended, as well as, help us continue to improve our work in the future.
