After all, much of our civil engineering experience is "industrial-strength." We've engineered facilities with water systems the size of a small cities, roads for heavy equipment hauling material by the ton, and thousands of employees moving through them every day. But our unique approach brings the same "industrial-strength" quality to smaller projects. When you work with our Civil Engineering department, you work with one team. From surveying to design bidding to project management, you get an attention to detail that is the envy of most firms.
People have used the mastery of architecture and structural engineering to harness nature for centuries. Electrical engineering is a much more contemporary field - but in today's world, no less important. From entire utility systems to small commercial and residential design, we haven't yet found an electrical engineering challenge we couldn't meet. Our greatest strength is in our expertise in large commercial and industrial work. This is because of the experience of our staff, as well as the integral nature of electrical components to other systems - and our ability to deliver high-quality cross-disciplinary service.
William A. Kibbe & Associates began its life as a structural engineering firm, so it's a discipline particularly close to our heart. It's also given us a great depth of experience - from moving bearing walls in small home remodeling projects to replacing huge support columns in complete makeovers of large industrial facilities. Frequently while people are cooking dinner in the next room, or doing their jobs 10 feet away. No matter how large or small, we enjoy the challenge. And we enjoy the unique perspective and creative problem-solving ability we can bring to it.
Architecture is one of the oldest, and perhaps purest, ways in which man has sought to master energy, matter, and space, in order to meet both immediate needs and withstand the test of time. As a natural extension of the services we provide, we strive to put our collective design experience to use, helping to shape your vision and create the sense of place you desire. We have found that one important aspect of a successful project is the synergy of the architectural design and multiple engineering disciplines.
Most broad-based architectural and engineering firms have the expertise to design an industrial shell and its mechanical and electrical systems. William A. Kibbe & Associates can take that a step farther, by working with your manufacturing staff to layout the actual process components and integrate the process into the available space and facility. That's because we are "plant people." Our team has a wealth of industrial process engineering talent under our roof. For you, that means a closer connection between a facility's form and its function - a plant that works better because it's all designed to work together.
Kibbe's mechanical engineering department is not intimidated by a challenge. Large industrial facilities, and countless other complex projects, have been specialties for our cross-disciplinary team of experts for over thirty years. From conception to completion, the value and complexity of our clients' projects demand a seamless execution from our integrated team of engineers, architects and designers. With sustainability and precision at the forefront, we work collaboratively to utilize current trends and technologies to achieve sound solutions.
Whether your needs are modest or monumental, William A. Kibbe & Associates can provide customized services to fit your specifications executed by a licensed professional surveyor. We adhere to the guidelines and requirements for licensure set forth by the Michigan Society of Professional Surveyors. Special arrangements may be made for commercial, industrial, and development projects located outside of this boundary.
