When things go wrong…

EngTech offers professional investigative engineering/architectural services to provide reliable, cost-effective solutions. Our Professional Engineers (PEs) are licensed in Mechanical/Plumbing, Electrical, Structural, and Civil Engineering. We provide expertise in structural deficiencies, HVAC, electrical arc flash, geo-exchange systems, and fire investigations.

We also employ registered Architects who are Built Environment experts. These professionals understand building envelope integrity and air/water infiltration challenges; as well as issues involving design errors and omissions, construction defects, and product liability concerns.

EngTech professionals are often asked to deliver expert witness testimony, trial depositions, technical analysis and simulations for litigation. We offer “One Source” investigations, quick turnaround and reasonable fees to clients across the Great Plains.

EngTech facility experts use the lessons learned from investigating construction defects and design errors of others to maximize the quality of EngTech facility designs. These assignments serve as a continuous stream of knowledge and lessons learned, allowing EngTech staff to avoid similar pitfalls on current designs.

What EngTech Customers Say

  • You asked for a firm to give you a second opinion on your mechanical system replacements, and we’d recommend EngTech. We are working with them in Mott-Regent and United Public Schools, and find them and their engineering expertise second to none.

    Jim Perras, Partner Consolidated Construction Company
  • I would like to recommend EngTech for your design project. Their staff went the extra mile to design an affordable building for our school. They met countless times with board, staff and administration to come up with a great affordable design.

    Kevin Roth, retired Chairman Mott-Regent School Board
  • EngTech employees are very professional, experienced, knowledgeable, personable, and they also possess a great deal of common sense. They understand, listen, and work to meet our needs. They have earned my respect and confidence.

    Clarke Ranum, Superintendent United Public Schools
  • Working with EngTech, to build and renovate our Mott-Regent School, was a true blessing. They did not come telling us what we needed; instead they diligently listened and helped us discover our needs, all the while being sensitive to our budget. They shared our "We Can and Must" attitude, focusing on the needs of our kids and the passion of patrons for education in our school district. They were transparent and readily available to openly communicate with us on the challenges which arose. I highly recommend them to whomever is needing a trustworthy A/E firm for their project.

    Bill Gion, School Board President Mott-Rebent School
  • EngTech staff involved in our District’s process has been very helpful and willing to assist at any time. During the pre-referendum process they were able to help guide our committee, put presentation material together in a professional manner, and help research and answer questions brought forward by our community. The staff have been very down to earth with a willingness to listen to the district needs, and very understanding.

    Michelle Hoff, School Board President Parshall Public Schools

Forensic Expertise

LISTED BELOW ARE EXAMPLES OF ENGTECH FORENSIC INVESTIGATION EXPERTISE.

OUR EXPERTISE

We use our extensive design experience to investigate and provide innovative solutions to difficult and challenging circumstances. For example, our diverse structural engineering experience lead us to uncover the root cause and point of origin of a collapse of a large facility under construction as shown.

As another example, our vast mechanical engineering experience allowed us to quickly solve a fire investigation by immediately following the burn patterns to the dryer motor which was the obvious cause and point of origin as shown below. Often in these types of cases, the client will ask EngTech to secure the evidence and store it in our secured storage area.

Our impressive forensic engineering experience is reflected in the diversity our investigative engineering cases. For example, EngTech recently accepted investigative assignments within 24 hours for: a structural roof failure onto a car; a dishwasher failure which flooded a house; and a sprinkler malfunction which resulted in serious water damage to the facility.

LAB SERVICES

EngTech provides prompt delivery of forensic engineering and investigative lab services to our customers. We can now access remarkable investigative insight and lab findings. EngTech uses non-destructive testing methods and semi-destructive testing procedures to provide insight and answers that human eyes cannot detect. Our ability to offer lab services and quickly respond can minimize lost production time, which is especially beneficial to industrial clients and other time-sensitive endeavors — or large loss claims.
