PROFILE

EXPERIENCE

We provide professional mechanical, electrical, plumbing and analysis engineering services to architects, owners, and building managers across a wide range of industries, including higher education, municipal, office and manufacturing.

We are committed to collaboratively developing building system solutions that balance performance, cost, and sustainability, then delivering that design on time, through a process of regular communication, careful coordination and obsessive attention to detail.

SUSTAINABILITY

Proven track record of sustainable design.

Designed within the major rating systems, including LEED and Energy Star for facilities.

Adept at designing solutions that exceed energy goals while still being affordable and reliable.

Assisted DFCM in the writing of the High-Performance Building System and Design Standard updates.

CREATIVE SOLUTIONS

Demonstrated history of creativity and innovation.

We have more experience designing indirect direct evaporative cooling systems than anyone along the Wasatch front.

Our team is dedicated to introducing and standardizing new techniques such as displacement ventilation and chilled beams.

COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN

100% Revit team.

We use BIM modeling routinely to make our drawings more accurate and representational of the actual system.

Our staff is proficient with AutoCAD and use the most appropriate software dependent on overall user needs.

TESTIMONIALS

“Colvin Engineering provided excellent insights on the design for the Mobile Triage Unit, especially as it related to keeping the system modular and transportable. HHI has worked with Colvin on several military construction projects. Each time, Colvin met all HVAC and plumbing requirements with a professional attitude. We knew Colvin was the correct team for this important and unique project.”

Cliff Hokanson, HHI Corporation Executive Vice President
“Hopefully, clients choose Colvin because of our personalities. I think building design is not really complicated. Through having a personal relationship with each client, we are able to deliver the best product and focus on customer service along the way.”
Gabriel Legorburu, Project Engineer

“The best reason to choose Colvin Engineering is that we can provide an integrated solution for mechanical and electrical plumbing. When I say integrated, I mean, BIM on the same model. When we deliver that model it will be fully coordinated without any unnecessary delays. We are focused now on BIM integration but also to ensure the best low-energy services for the client.”

Ken Garner P.E., Electrical Engineer, Senior Project Manager

“Colvin Engineering has a long history of excellent design work and has developed a great relationship of trust on the Weber State’s campuses. Colvin has also played a critical role in charting the future for Weber States mechanical systems and infrastructure. Colvin was able to understand the university’s future goals and help to articulate a step-by-step path forward for decades.”

Mark Halverson, Associate Vice President for Facilities & Campus Planning

“Over the years, we have worked on numerous projects with Colvin Engineering – including design build, CM/GC and hard bid work. Throughout all of these projects Colvin Engineering was trustworthy and highly skilled partner. They are easy to work with, provide detailed information and enhance a project’s design and performance. When Okland thinks of Colvin we think of quality mechanical engineering, and a strong commitment to innovation and efficiency.”

Brett Okland and Jeremy Blanck, Okland Construction
