Our Services

We constantly keep our client's vision in mind when we work with their municipality to submit an economical and compliant Land Development Plan.  Strategic areas that typically are addressed are zoning requirements, stormwater management,  E&S control., grading plan, landscaping, signage, off-street  parking and exterior lighting.  We are also a PennDOT business partner  and will work to secure a Highway Occupancy Permit (HOP), if required.  

Effective  site planning is not only critical for establishing the most economical  budget but is a necessary step to maximizing the aesthetic and  functional components of the site.  Typical site planning issues that  are addressed are building(s) size and location(s), utility connections,  sanitary system design and permitting, and integrating all of the  approved requirements of the Land Development Plan. 

Your project's structural plan typically includes the dimensioned plan and  elevations for the foundation, walls, framing, and the roof.  We can  select from many types of building materials, including concrete, masonry, steel and timber.   As a former ASTM technical subcommittee member for both cement (C-1)  and concrete (C-9) and QC manager of a cement manufacturing plant,  Petrus brings a unique expertise and understanding of functional concrete and masonry design 

We  will work with you to develop a functional, code-compliant floorplan  that fits both your intended use as well as your budget.  Petrus can  meet with your building committee, at the onset of the project, and  consolidate everyone's thoughts to produce conceptual and final floorplans.   Exterior aesthetics, finish details, materials selection, and a  seamless integration of all the components are all areas of intense  focus as your design is completed. 
 

Petrus can also produce architectural renderings and/or 3-D animated 'walkthroughs' which are crucial aids in a fund-raising campaign, or even as a design tool. 

Depending on your space's use, budget and desired comfort levels, we can design  either forced air, radiant, hydronic, variable refrigerant flow (VRF)  and a multitude of air distribution systems. Petrus was trained and certified by ASHRAE in a wide assortment of HVAC and refrigeration systems' design. 

Our electrical design capabilities include detailed power distribution  systems, lighting plans, data & telephone systems and process  control systems. Our design experience includes heavy and light  industry, mining, and commercial applications. 

 We can not  only design and erect your industrial building's shell, but design much  of the internal infrastructure necessary for your operation. As a  senior process engineer at Air Products and Chemicals, Petrus has a  wealth of experience in the design of petrochemical and industrial gas  plants. Some of the client facilities include Shell Oil (Geismar, LA),  Exxon Mobil's Paulsboro refinery, and FMC (Baltimore, MD).   This  expertise is benefiecial to your project's piping, material handling,  and manufacturing process design.
