Our team specializes in delivering proven, cost-effective solutions that align with your manufacturing goals while minimizing disruptions to operations. We handle a wide array of projects, including long-term planning, new facility design, facility expansions, renovations, retrofits, utility upgrades, preventive maintenance, dust control, hazardous environments, process water treatment, rail loading and unloading stations, demolition, and more. Viewing every project as the beginning of a lasting partnership, we work closely with you to implement manufacturing design solutions that have a lasting positive impact on your business and bottom line.

Technical Expertise Drives Industrial Innovation

Our multi-disciplined expertise spans every facet of manufacturing infrastructure. We offer full-service capabilities across architecture and mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil engineering. Our deep bench of in-house experts in rail track design, transportation, and water/wastewater truly makes TKDA an all-in-one partner to implement solutions at our clients’ facilities. Every project at TKDA begins with a deep understanding of your business, and we guide clients through:

Facilities: Our designs link manufacturing personnel to the tools and systems they need to work productively. We design new facilities and major renovations, including process and manufacturing spaces, control rooms, laboratories, maintenance facilities, parking ramps, warehouses and distribution centers, clean rooms, vehicle storage facilities, roof replacements, and workplace areas such as cafeterias and locker rooms.

Water Treatment: With decades of experience in water storage, industrial wastewater treatment, permitting coordination, and process water systems, we enhance the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of water systems while minimizing the impact on the environment and local communities.

Balance of Plant: Our manufacturing team offers a broad range of balance of plant services to foster optimal performance and safety across various systems. By integrating our team with mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers and specialists, we support you in developing efficient and safe energy operations for HVAC, dust control, fire protection, power distribution, and structural systems like tank farms and refrigerated storage.

Process Design and Integration: Our team brings extensive experience in designing and implementing process systems that directly support and enhance your daily operations. We’ve successfully engineered solutions such as hazardous vapor systems, dust collection, steam and water piping, mills and dryer towers, and thermal oxidizers. Our instrumentation and control engineers support you in developing control panel layouts, creating P&ID diagrams, and specifying flow, temperature, and pressure devices. These capabilities help optimize performance, ensure safety, and drive operational efficiency across your facility.  

Central Plant and Energy: We specialize in delivering multi-disciplined and comprehensive central plant and energy solutions. Our expertise includes high-pressure steam systems, chillers, cooling towers, chilled water storage tanks, managing programs for electric fleet vehicle charging stations, streamlining permitting coordination, and designing innovative control rooms.

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, we provide the information you need to make informed decisions about the safety, functionality, and life-cycle costs of your structures, mechanical, and electrical systems.

Civil, Site, and Infrastructure: From site master planning to utility distribution design, our civil engineers have the design capabilities and project management talents to make your facilities and sites function effectively. We work on site evaluations, stormwater management, water utility distribution and rehabilitation, pavement management, and industrial rail spur design.

Our Comprehensive Approach

Our approach is rooted in collaboration, and aligning directly with your core processes is the foundation of our manufacturing solutions. Each project begins with a deep understanding of your needs, followed by tailored design, regulatory coordination, and hands-on construction support. By working closely with you and acting as an extension of your team, we can align with your business practices and operational goals. We believe these solutions must support current demands while also anticipating future advancements. Delivering comprehensive solutions that take your entire operation and environmental impact into account ensures that every aspect of the project is individualized to your internal needs and external market dynamics.

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. 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 and ENV SP professionals to support design of both new construction and existing building renovations to achieve any desired level of LEED registration.
