Engineering in Tulsa

Services in Tulsa

MEP engineering

• Refinery and midstream-adjacent industrial needs hazardous-area electrical and process utilities
• Tornado shelters and severe-weather hardening for schools and public buildings
• Gathering Place and downtown riverfront projects need flood-elevated MEP equipment
• Hot, humid summers drive dehumidification and high-efficiency cooling

Structural engineering

• Tornado and severe-wind design per ASCE 7, with ICC 500 safe rooms
• Arkansas River floodplain and levee coordination
• Expansive clay soils in much of the metro
• Historic art-deco downtown retrofits and adaptive reuse

Civil engineering

• City of Tulsa stormwater and detention standards
• Oklahoma DEQ OKR10 stormwater permitting
• FEMA floodplain analysis along the Arkansas River and tributaries
• ODOT coordination on I-44, US-75, and the Creek Turnpike

Electrical engineering

• We design Tulsa riverfront hospitality lighting for both the energy code and the occupants — ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC-compliant controls, glare-controlled layouts, and panel schedules the electrician can actually build from.
• For Tulsa energy and midstream facilities, distribution design covers switchgear lineups, feeder routing, and transformer placement — coordinated with the architectural layout so electrical rooms land where they are actually buildable.
• Specialty systems for Tulsa riverfront hospitality: fire alarm device layouts coordinated with the AHJ, low-voltage pathways, and grounding/bonding details that survive the Tulsa building department electrical review.
• Send us the floor plans and load list; Tulsa, OK projects get a firm electrical quote back quickly and permit-ready drawings sealed by a Oklahoma-licensed PE.
• When Tulsa energy and midstream facilities outgrow their existing service, we engineer the upgrade: service-entrance sizing, available fault current at each panel, and selective coordination, all documented for the Tulsa building department plan review.

Plumbing engineering

• Natural gas piping sized by longest-run method for Tulsa downtown redevelopment: meter capacity, regulator stations, and seismic shutoff details where Oklahoma amendments require them.
• Water-efficient fixture selection for Tulsa healthcare facilities that still passes plan check: 1.28 gpf water closets, metered faucets, and the calculations the Tulsa building department wants to see in the submittal.
• Below-grade plumbing gets special attention in Tulsa — sump and ejector sizing, flood-level rim elevations, and backwater protection where the the Tulsa building department reviewer will ask for it.
• Tulsa healthcare facilities with process loads get engineered details, not catalog cuts — interceptors, separators, and specialty drainage drawn to the Oklahoma plumbing code.
• In Tulsa's tornado-alley extremes, exterior hose bibbs, irrigation backflow assemblies, and rooftop piping get freeze-rated details — the callbacks we prevent never make it onto a punch list.

HVAC engineering

• DDC controls design for Tulsa riverfront hospitality — points lists, sequences of operation, and integration with lighting so the building performs after commissioning, not just on paper.
• Ventilation for Tulsa riverfront hospitality projects is designed for the actual occupancy — conference-heavy floors, kitchens, and locker rooms each get their own air-change logic, not one blanket rate.
• ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC compliance built into the Tulsa design from day one — envelope coordination, economizer logic, and demand-controlled ventilation documented in the COMcheck/energy model.
• Ductwork designed for low static and quiet operation in Tulsa manufacturing: trunk-and-branch layouts, proper aspect ratios, and sealing specs that meet ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC leakage limits.
• Engides prices HVAC engineering to win the job and staffs it to hit the schedule — PE-stamped mechanical drawings for Tulsa, OK, backed by Apex Grid Engineering's licensed engineers.
