The firm specializes in providing engineering services to managers of large institutional and industrial facilities, and understands the unique issues facing owners' engineering and maintenance staffs. Our work includes extensive field review of financial, institutional, education and health care facilities with central systems which must be available on a 24 hour basis to serve the needs of the facility's clients.
With an engineering and design team of nine engineers, designers and CAD draftsmen, the company has extensive experience with a full range of institutional, commercial and industrial engineering design and analysis projects. WVA has completed projects which include energy audits, engineering studies, system evaluations, design, cost estimation, engineering, specification writing and construction administration for a wide variety of new facilities as well as renovations and additions to existing facilities.
Our ongoing work with construction managers, design/build projects and coordination with electrical/mechanical subcontractors and vendors keeps our construction cost information up to date.

All of our engineering and support staff have PC workstations connected via an office network and are proficient in the productive use of PC based computer systems in a consulting engineering office.
The company has extensive experience in the production of facilities engineering documents with AutoCad drafting software. Our staff has used AutoCad continuously in the consulting engineering environment since 1985, and presently uses Release 2000. Our office makes significant and productive use of custom AutoCad menus developed in house to serve the specialized needs of the Electrical and Mechanical disciplines. Custom macros, Autolisp routines, script files and batch files are developed as required to increase productivity and final document quality. Each member of the design team works on networked, Pentium-based CAD stations, and efficiently produces color as well as black-and-white drawings on bond, vellum or mylar. Smaller sketches are produced on high quality laser printers.

Our design and production team uses other current industry standard computer applications for lighting design layouts, voltage drop, power factor correction, economic analysis/life cycle cost, and heating & cooling load calculations, along with the latest word processing, spreadsheet and relational database applications available from Corel. These are translated as necessary to support client needs.
All workstations are connected to the internet, and we routinely use e-mail for client correspondence, specifications transfer, vendor equipment information from websites, and exchange of CAD files for timely and efficient project coordination.
