Facilities

At TKDA, our engineers, architects, and interior designers design new facilities and major renovations for manufacturing clients across the country. We deliver high-quality results that serve our manufacturing clients well beyond the completion of a new facility, renovation, expansion, or restoration project. The facilities we design are environments for linking people to the technology, tools, and systems needed to work productively. We have the expertise and experience to work on control rooms, laboratories, maintenance facilities, parking ramps, warehouse and distribution centers, clean rooms, office and workplace areas, vehicle storage facilities, roof replacements, locker rooms, cafeterias, and breakrooms.

Water Treatment

As water becomes an increasingly valuable resource, effective water management is growing more important for our manufacturing clients’ facilities. Our experts have process water experience combined with an in-depth knowledge of advanced treatment processes and environmental regulations. For decades, we have assisted industries with water storage, industrial wastewater treatment, permitting coordination, and process water needs by developing solutions that give companies a competitive edge. Overall, we aim to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of water systems while minimizing the impact on the environment and local communities.

Studies, Planning, and Modeling

Studies, planning, and modeling are strategic processes that help organizations plan for the future of their physical spaces and deliver valuable insights into how building systems operate to identify potential improvement areas. Through planning, assessments, and modeling, our team of engineers and architects helps manufacturing clients save money, improve efficiencies, and enhance overall operations. Our team provides the information our clients need to make informed decisions about the safety, functionality, and life-cycle costs of their structures, mechanical, and electrical systems.

Civil, Site, and Infrastructure

Our teams provide civil engineering and landscape architecture services for a broad range of manufacturing client needs to produce cohesive and unified projects. From site master planning to utility distribution design, our civil engineers have the design capabilities and project management talents to make manufacturing facilities and sites function effectively. We work on site evaluations, stormwater management, water utility distribution and rehabilitation, pavement management, and industrial rail spur design.

Balance of Plant

Our manufacturing team offers a broad range of balance of plant services for clients to foster optimal performance and safety across various systems. By integrating our team with mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers and specialists, we support our manufacturing clients in developing efficient and safe energy operations. Our mechanical and electrical services include plumbing, compressed and specialty gas system design, high-energy piping system and stress analysis, HVAC design, lower flammability limit design, ventilation and dust control, comprehensive fire protection solutions, standby and normal power distribution systems, arc flash programs to promote safety and compliance, and control systems solutions. Additionally, our structural analysis and design capabilities create robust and reliable infrastructure through product storage tank farms and refrigerated storage.

Sustainability

We take a comprehensive approach to sustainability that advances energy efficiency, waste reduction, and carbon impact across the buildings and infrastructure we design while considering employee and community wellness, along with sustained financial health for our stakeholders. Our projects incorporate active and passive solar strategies, daylighting and daylighting controls, geothermal, and solar-thermal heating. We also utilize photovoltaic arrays, fresh-air intake preheating, water reuse, vegetative roofs, efficient building orientation strategies, and high-performance envelope, roof, and glazing design. At TKDA, we continually explore and research the ever-changing options that allow for energy savings and sustainable designs that reflect our clients’ values of environmental stewardship. TKDA has accredited LEED professionals to support design of both new construction and existing building renovations to achieve any desired level of LEED registration.

Process Design and Integration

Our integrated team excels in delivering design services for our manufacturing clients. We offer comprehensive process system design solutions such as hazardous vapor systems, dust collection systems, mitigation systems, process P&ID development, process line integration, steam and water high pressure piping systems, mills and dryer towers, and thermal oxidizers to reduce emissions, keep operating costs down, improve product quality, and maintain safety standards. We also have expertise in instrumentation and control systems, developing process control narratives and process controls communication and network architecture designs to help our clients improve their everyday operations. 

Central Plant and Energy

At TKDA, we specialize in delivering multi-disciplined and comprehensive central plant and energy solutions. Our expertise includes high pressure steam and hydronic boilers, steam and electric driven chillers, field erected and manufactured cooling towers, chilled water storage tanks, managing programs for electric fleet vehicle charging stations, streamlining permitting coordination, and designing innovative control rooms. Our capabilities also span optimizing digestors and integrating renewable natural gas plants. By leveraging this diverse set of services, we support manufacturing clients in achieving operational efficiency and advancing their energy objectives.
