Electrical Engineering

Tatham’s electrical engineering team provides various infrastructure applications, including buildings, municipal facilities, and subdivisions. We develop electrical systems that support safe, efficient, and sustainable operations.

Our expertise includes power distribution, lighting, and automation, incorporating the latest technologies to enhance performance and energy efficiency. Our team can support your project from initial assessment and design through to implementation and ongoing operations.

Integrated Building Services

We bring multidisciplinary engineering expertise for an integrated, collaborative design process. Using tools like Revit for 3D modeling and IES for energy modeling, we create coordinated, sustainable solutions that align with architectural and client goals.

Benefits of integrated design:

  • More efficient design and construction
  • Reduced coordination issues
  • Smarter, sustainable solutions
  • Improved building performance
  • Better project outcomes
