Dallas

TLC Dallas now occupies new sustainable office space on the 2nd floor of the Fitzhugh Central Building. The new space is nearly twice the size of the old one and provides plenty of room for growth for when the economy climbs out of recession. TLC engineers provided MEP/FP and commissioning services for the office, which includes energy-efficient lighting and equipment, sensor faucets and other water-efficient features, and low-toxicity materials. The office has achieved LEED Gold for Commercial Interiors certification.

The staff offers strong MEP expertise, in-depth knowledge of the local marketplace, and diverse building-type experience. Led by Managing Director John G. Piazza, PE, the crew provides engineering design and consulting services for hospitals, airports, corporate offices, schools, and industrial buildings. Among their key projects are the $54 million, 310,000-sf Presbyterian Hospital of Denton; the $30 million Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport Terminal Expansion/Renovation; the $10 million Health Science Center/Paramount Building Renovation in Dallas; and the five-building Royal Ridge Office Park in Las Colinas. A leader in sustainable design, their portfolio includes the LEED Gold-certified Dallas South Central Police Station and numerous LEED registered buildings including Park Place Honda of Burleson; Dallas Fire Station No. 42; Global Peace Factory Coffee House; Bank of America buildings throughout Dallas and Houston; and the $100 million Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello, Idaho. In addition to MEP and sustainable design, TLC Dallas provides engineering systems design, feasibility and due diligence studies, systems condition and capacity evaluations, code reviews, quality control review, and construction administration services.
