About PTA Engineering — Our Story, Values & History

Our Firm

Since 1953, PTA Engineering has provided planning and design of mechanical and electrical systems for buildings — serving both regional and national clients. Our attention to detail has been recognized by clients and builders alike.

We engage in a broad range of commercial, institutional, industrial, and public projects. A significant portion of our work involves high-reliability MEP systems required for healthcare, data centers, research facilities, and food production.

"PTA Engineering's mission is simple — the success of our client's project."

The PTA Difference

Owner project success is our prime objective. This starts with being a leader and a great teammate — working alongside the owner and associated stakeholders from day one. We take pride in translating the owner's vision into MEP systems that meet project objectives functionally and economically, and in integrating those systems into the structural and architectural body of a building — bringing it to life.

Our Core Values

These aren't words on a wall. They're the standard we hold ourselves to — every project, every client, every day.
