A LEGACY OF INTEGRITY. A FUTURE OF INTEGRATION.

ABOUT US

Thomas Engineering, Inc. was organized in September of 1973 by Wade G. Thomas to design and observe the installation of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, plumbing systems, sprinkler systems and other associated mechanical systems.  These systems were for commercial, educational, institutional, governmental and industrial buildings.  We have since provided engineering services on over five thousand projects.

In November 1984, Thomas Engineering, Inc. merged with Tune, Billings, an electrical engineering firm.  Tune, Billings was organized in 1978 by Paul Billings and Nick Tune.

The result of the merger between Thomas Engineering, Inc. and Tune, Billings is Entech Engineering, Inc.

The philosophy of Entech Engineering is to provide complete mechanical and electrical engineering services with personnel having technical ability and practical experience in the field.  Continuing education is emphasized, with personnel encouraged to attend seminars, manufacturer sponsored schools and in-house training sessions.

The firm, in keeping with the urgent need to conserve energy, strives constantly to design systems that operate at the greatest possible efficiency for the smallest possible cost.

ELECTRICAL

The systems, equipment and technology in buildings are rapidly evolving, therefore the environments and the way we interact within them are ever changing. Designing electrical systems are no longer as simple as basic lighting and power layouts. Electrical systems are critical to the proper operation of a facility and our engineers understand the responsibility and requirements of such a task and are prepared and capable to design systems that meet code requirements while delivering a cost efficient, functional design.

AREAS OF EMPHASIS:

  • Power systems design and distribution

  • Medium voltage design

  • Emergency and standby power generation

  • Lighting systems and control design

  • Lightning protection

  • Grounding design

  • Fault current and overcurrent coordination studies

  • Arc flash studies

STRUCTURAL

A strong structural system is the foundation of every successful building. From early planning through final construction, our engineers focus on delivering safe, efficient, and economical structural solutions that support the architectural vision while meeting all code and performance requirements. We work closely with the full design team to ensure each structure is durable, resilient, and tailored to the specific needs of the project.

AREAS OF EMPHASIS:

  • Structural system analysis and design

  • Steel, concrete, masonry, and wood design

  • Foundation design

  • Seismic and wind load analysis

  • Existing building evaluations and renovations

  • Structural assessments and feasibility studies

  • Construction administration support

  • Special structural systems and long-span design

A FULLY INTEGRATED TEAM

MECHANICAL

Creating a comfortable environment is critical in all facilities. Balancing the cost, aesthetics, and efficiency of mechanical systems is a collaborative effort. Our job is to know the requirements and desires of each project while guiding our client towards a solution best suited for them.

AREAS OF EMPHASIS:

  • Various HVAC Systems (VRF, Geothermal, Chilled Water, Packaged, etc.)

  • Temperature and Controls systems

  • Hydronic Systems

  • Utilities

  • Clean Rooms/Laboratory Design

  • Indoor Air Quality

  • Humidification Control

PLUMBING

Often overlooked as a basic service, a facility cannot function without a proper operating plumbing system. Beginning at the earliest phases, we focus on adapting our design to meet your unique requirements. Our professionals are equipped to assist you in designing a system that is not only efficient but reliable over the life of the building.

AREAS OF EMPHASIS:

  • Potable water service

  • Service water heating

  • Sanitary and storm systems

  • Natural gas systems

  • Medical gas systems

  • Compressed air design

  • Sustainable plumbing solutions
