Our HistoryFounded in 1977 by W. L. Thompson, Thompson Ehle Company offers a comprehensive package ofengineering services including:

Mechanical Engineering Civil Engineering + Water Features DesignElectrical Engineering + Lighting Design Technology Infrastructure DesignPlumbing/Fire Protection Engineering Commissioning + Facility Assessment

Our PhilosophyOur business, consulting engineering, is a balance of art and science based on a foundation of knowledge 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 budget

The design approach includes planning, organization, proper staffing, effective direction, and control over the decision-making process. In order to provide proper up-front planning of a project, six planning elements must be considered and implemented at the beginning of the project. These elements must be maintained and/or adjusted as needed as the project moves through development. The six planning elements include:

Establish realistic objective Budget efforts to accomplish tasksProgram tasks to achieve objectives Identify and resolve constraints to design processSchedule tasks in a sequential time-frame Devise 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 the development of a project. To establish these objectives, the Project Manager (PM) must ensure that the Team has a complete understanding 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 is critical 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 achievement have been programmed, the PM and Team schedule the tasks in the proper order to be successful. Scheduling is an art rather than a science; however, business realities make scheduling essential. High quality work can be maintained only if proper time is given to the production and review/revision of the work.

The PM and the Team have set realistic objectives, defined the tasks for plan development, and scheduled the tasks for success. Through our combined efforts, we now have a defined program to complete the project, and budgeted efforts by discipline and phase to complete the tasks.

The devised strategies ensure that projects remain successful and profitable by creating advantageous conditions, recognizing differing objectives which can create conflict, analyzing alternatives, and creating acceptability and scheduling performance.

Our team consists of a mixture of Senior Principals, Project Management, and Senior Engineer staff as well as production staff and our Quality Control department. We believe it allows for the best mix of service, quality control and engineering experience to be brought to the project.

TEC’s unrivaled experience serves our clients today no matter where they are located, what type of project they offer, or what special needs each project demands. We are innovative in our approach to each project and strive to make each design meet the objectives and requirements set by the Owner and Architect. Our firm offers a team member 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 plans and specifications sets us apart from other engineering firms. Thompson Ehle Company

is committed to taking a proactive role in promoting the design of facilities that significantly reduces or eliminate the negative impact on the environment and occupants.

Sustainable DesignOur LEED Accredited Professionals play a key role in ensuring that an integrated

sustainable design approach sets environmental goals, defines “Green” design intent and establishes definable metrics is achieved on all projects

that have LEED accreditation as a goal.

Thompson Ehle Company’s sustainable design services include documentation of LEED credits with USGBC; lighting design

photometrics; energy models and studies; energy audits and LEED Credit feasibility studies.

Striving for Sustainable design is largely driven by design options to achieve energy savings, from building envelope glass and insulating properties to actual systems modifications. Using solar to heat water used in outside air handlers is one way design can be used to improve energy efficiency of the building. Using demand control ventilation for large occupancy areas within the building is another.

Our CapabilitiesThompson Ehle Company’s engineering professionals work

effectively with BIM 360 Team Collaboration, Autodesk Revit Building Design Suite, Autodesk AutoCAD, Solibri Clash Detection Software,

Bluebeam, Trane Trace, and SKM Powertools for short circuit and coordination study analysis. We also use our own proprietary calculation

methods that have been developed over the last 40 years based on our experiences of the project types and feedback from Owners, Operators and Guests after the facilities have been in operation.

We consider these to be the most valuable in making sure the building have operated as they were designed and intended, as well as, help us continue to improve our work in the future.

Commissioning

L I F E S T Y L E

As trusted leaders in engineering design for Lifestyle type projects, we view every project as establishing a relationship with the Client and the clientele that will interact with the project after completion. Lifestyle work requires a unique set of engineering skills to minimize the amount of energy required for the various functions performed every day, as well as, preparing the property with a design that is cost-effective for the investors involved with the project. We avoid the traditional dogmatic style, instead aspiring for something more unique to each urban center for every project. We have over 40 years of worldwide experience in Lifestyle project design, giving us a rare insight to anticipate the project’s needs and then deliver a dynamic design.
