The acquisition expands Trinity’s MEP and structural engineering capabilities and strengthens its ability to deliver integrated solutions across the built environment.

We are excited to announce the acquisition of Encotech Engineering Consultants Inc., a Texas-based engineering firm with strong capabilities in mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP), structural engineering, commissioning, and third-party quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) services. Encotech will join Trinity’s built environment business, bringing complementary technical knowledge and strengthening Trinity’s ability to support clients across the full project life cycle. The acquisition also expands Trinity’s presence in Texas, creating new opportunities to connect capabilities, people and client relationships in one of the country’s most active and diverse markets.

For more than three decades, Encotech has built its reputation on engineering excellence, sustainable design, innovation and strong client relationships. Its work spans the civic, commercial, education, infrastructure, multifamily, transportation, and travel and leisure markets.

“Encotech and Trinity share a belief that exceptional engineering begins with understanding our clients’ challenges and bringing together the right experience to solve them,” said Walter Mehl, divisional president, built environment, at Trinity Consultants. “Encotech brings deep technical knowledge, an outstanding reputation, and a culture grounded in quality and client service. Together we can build on those strengths, broaden what we offer our clients, and continue advancing how complex buildings and environments are designed, delivered and commissioned.”

Ali Khataw, chief executive officer; Scott Francis, president; Patrick Morrissey, principal and vice president of MEP; and Lucas Stockburger, principal and mechanical discipline lead, along with the rest of Encotech’s leadership team, will continue in key leadership roles within Trinity’s built environment division and work closely with Mehl.

“Joining Trinity gives us the opportunity to build on what has made Encotech successful while opening the door to something larger,” Khataw said. “We gain access to broader technical capabilities, a wider geographic reach, and colleagues working with leading developers and architects around the world. For our clients, that means greater depth and more ways to solve complex challenges. For our people, it means new opportunities to collaborate, grow and build their careers. We are excited about what we can accomplish together in Texas and beyond.”

The acquisition is the latest step in the continued growth of Trinity’s built environment business. Through strategic acquisitions and organic growth, Trinity is bringing together complementary disciplines and specialized experience to create a more connected platform that gives clients access to greater technical depth while preserving the relationships, market knowledge and expertise that distinguish its individual practices.
