Engineering in Provo

Services in Provo

MEP engineering

• Seismic MEP bracing for Seismic Design Category D, since Provo sits directly against the Wasatch fault trace
• Campus-scale central plant and distribution design for BYU-area institutional work
• Tech-office MEP with high-density cooling, raised-floor air distribution, and redundant power for Silicon Slopes headquarters buildings
• Student housing ventilation and durability, with high-occupancy residential MEP built for turnover and around-the-clock use
• Freeze protection and snow-melt systems for entries and plazas in Utah Valley winters
• Humidity control for Provo's position near Utah Lake, which adds latent load that commercial HVAC must handle

Structural engineering

• Near-fault seismic detailing, since Provo's position against the Wasatch fault puts many sites in the highest local seismic demand
• Expansive soil foundations for Utah Lake's historic lakebed clays, which swell across the valley floor
• Mid-rise wood and podium construction for the student-housing and apartment pipeline
• Snow loading from Provo Canyon outflow storms that drift against the Wasatch foothills
• Tilt-up and steel office structures for the Silicon Slopes corporate campuses

Civil engineering

• Campus and corporate-park site design per Provo City and Utah UPDES stormwater standards
• Provo River corridor setbacks, floodplain coordination, and trail-interface grading
• UDOT I-15 interchange access permitting for the Orem to Provo commercial strip
• Steep-slope grading for foothill subdivisions climbing toward the Wasatch
• Winter earthwork planning, since frozen soils halt grading for weeks each year in Utah Valley

Electrical engineering

• Provo byu-area institutional with critical operations get properly separated life-safety, legally-required, and optional standby systems — generator, ATS, and fuel sized for the real load, not a guess.
• We design Provo student housing 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.
• Specialty systems for Provo student housing: fire alarm device layouts coordinated with the AHJ, low-voltage pathways, and grounding/bonding details that survive the Provo building department electrical review.
• Send us the floor plans and load list; Provo, UT projects get a firm electrical quote back quickly and permit-ready drawings sealed by a Utah-licensed PE.
• What the Provo building department flags on electrical sets in Provo, UT: mismatched panel schedules, missing fault-current calcs, and undersized feeders. We check all three in-house before a Provo set ever leaves our office.

Plumbing engineering

• Fixture counts per the Utah plumbing code for Provo medical office: water closets, lavatories, and drinking fountains calculated by occupancy, with ADA clearances drawn — not assumed.
• Natural gas piping sized by longest-run method for Provo medical office: meter capacity, regulator stations, and seismic shutoff details where Utah amendments require them.
• Freeze protection is non-negotiable with high-desert winters and hot summers: we route Provo domestic and trap-primer piping inside the envelope, specify heat trace where exposure is unavoidable, and detail wall-hydrant shutoffs.
• Below-grade plumbing gets special attention in Provo — sump and ejector sizing, flood-level rim elevations, and backwater protection where the the Provo building department reviewer will ask for it.
• Specialty plumbing for Provo medical office: medical gas outlets and alarm panels for healthcare, grease interceptors for restaurants, and acid-waste systems for labs — each with its own riser logic.

HVAC engineering

• the Provo building department mechanical review in Provo, UT zeroes in on load calcs, ventilation rates, and equipment schedules — our Provo submittals carry all three with matching numbers across every sheet.
• Controls sequences written for the Provo operator, not just the submittal: economizer changeover, morning warm-up, and unoccupied setback logic that actually gets programmed.
• Ductwork designed for low static and quiet operation in Provo retail and restaurant corridors: trunk-and-branch layouts, proper aspect ratios, and sealing specs that meet ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC leakage limits.
• Ventilation per ASHRAE 62.1 for Provo retail and restaurant corridors: outdoor-air rates by occupancy, dedicated outdoor-air systems where they pay off, and exhaust make-up that keeps the building balanced.
• Provo multifamily apartments need equipment that handles high-desert winters and hot summers without short-cycling: we select and stage systems for part-load efficiency, not just design-day capacity.
