Robust Engineering Services for Industrial Projects
We understand that being a leader in the industrial market really means getting involved in developing a “product” early in the process. While providing all of the core services that make up the staple of our company, ECS continues to also be committed to investing in the organizations involved in the economic development of the communities in which we work and live. That commitment is what makes us a partner and a true ally.
Our clients in this sector are wide and varied. As real estate “product” is considered for an industrial project, our first client is the economic development organizations in the local area. Other potential clients we may support include site selection consultants as well as industrial brokers and developers.
Types of Industrial Development Engineering Services We Provide
ECS prioritizes superior customer service and streamlined communication for each industrial development project we undertake. Our full-service capabilities allow us to serve as a single source for all your construction consulting needs.
- Geotechnical services for industrial projects: Geotechnical engineering helps assess how well the soil and rock can support the weight of the industrial facility. Understanding the soil conditions helps prevent potential issues like structural failures, sinkholes or landslides that can jeopardize the facility’s safety and stability years down the road.
- Construction materials testing for industrial facilities: Material testing services verify the quality and durability of materials used in construction, including concrete, structural steel, wood and insulation. These tests help engineers assess material strength, composition, suitability and integrity for the intended application.
- Environmental services: ECS environmental consulting services help you comply with codes and regulations while protecting the local communities and environment. Besides identifying what types of immediate impact your heavy equipment, tools and construction materials can have on the environment, our monitoring services help identify potential hazards after project completion.
- Facilities consulting: Our facilities consulting services start with the early planning and due diligence phases and extend beyond operations and maintenance. These services aim to help developers promote sustainability, meet local code requirements and achieve performance goals through comprehensive analysis and testing.

Our Approach to Industrial Projects
At ECS, we realize each project requires a different strategy with unique testing and assessment solutions. Our multifaceted approach allows us to be a single source for all your consultation needs. Our services cover each project phase, including:
- Planning: Due diligence and planning are crucial to pre-construction because they help identify potential challenges, mitigate risks and achieve a successful project. Comprehensive research and analysis — including environmental assessments, regulatory requirements and budget planning — help developers and builders address issues before they occur.
- Design: The design phase involves engineers creating detailed plans outlining the layout, structure and functionality of a facility. Detailed assessments help integrate utility systems, evaluate space usage and meet safety regulations.
- Construction: We partner with contractors and builders to achieve a smooth operation by conducting quality assessments to verify each project phase complies with industrial standards. ECS engineers can assist with instrumentation and monitoring, value engineering, full-scale load testing and more.
- Operations and maintenance: ECS goes the extra mile to help extend a project’s success well beyond the construction phase. We offer ongoing services like failure analysis, forensic engineering and natural disaster evaluation to help identify problems long before they arise.
