Philosophy

We believe modern building system design considers critical energy efficiency, reliability, and flexibility needs while providing economical solutions to maintenance and retrofit operations. In the past, many facilities were designed with modest consideration for energy-saving design methods and constructed for rapid payback as opposed to life-cycle investment. Our engineers analyze first cost, as well as operating costs, to recommend the most appropriate systems for the buildings. Excellent engineering design enhances the experience of the building occupants while consciously controlling ongoing costs for the building owners.

Approach

State-of-the-art can only be achieved when our engineering design solutions apply the latest technologies to the current and long-term needs of a building. When designing engineering solutions, the engineers at EwingCole take pride in providing clients with the best in engineering leadership, problem-solving, and cost-effective results. EwingCole nurtures a collaborative relationship between architect and engineer, so the building systems become an integral part of the building design.

Our Expertise

Mechanical

At EwingCole, we believe that today’s HVAC building system design must take into account the critical need for energy efficiency, reliability, and flexibility while improving indoor air quality and occupant comfort.

Plumbing

Plumbing Engineering at EwingCole includes the design of many different systems due to our project diversity. Engineering system design, code and engineering analysis required for these projects include drainage systems, piping distribution, LEED design water conservation and water reuse.

Electrical

Our approach is to utilize our in-house expertise to advocate and design innovative, energy-efficient power and lighting systems in collaboration with the design team and client.

Structural

Our structural engineers work closely with our architectural designers to bring structure to their vision. We design building structures to balance competing interests of safety, economy, performance, human comfort, constructability, serviceability and visual elegance.

Fire Protection/Code Consulting

EwingCole maintains a group of licensed Fire Protection Engineers dedicated to engineering life safety systems, offering code consulting services to both in-house designers and our clients, with an eye toward full integration of the built environment.

Process Engineering

Process Engineering is the heart of design for manufacturing projects. Our Process and Automation Engineers are capable of addressing the broadest range of industrial process, from chemical to pharmaceutical plans.

Energy Management

By focusing on exceptional technology solutions, integrating best practices, and using available analysis tools, we strive to minimize the depletion of natural resources, improve our resource efficiency, and integrate environmentally-friendly solutions. Our commitment to aesthetic building solutions blend environmental leadership, smart engineering, and high-performance green design innovation.

Lighting

We believe in the power of light, both in natural and artificial forms. Light creates an architectural story playing multiple roles in the creative process. Not only is lighting an integral component of the visual design, but it also plays the part of the narrator – telling the story of the space. Our team focuses on lighting design holistically- we balance our design with the architectural and interior vision and aim to incorporate natural lighting through innovative means as a useable lighting source. Our balance of creative and technical expertise allows us to partner with a variety of institutions and clients to help meet design goals.
