Trinity Consultants: Encotech Acquisition Expands Texas Engineering And Built Environment Services

Trinity Consultants has acquired Encotech Engineering Consultants, expanding its mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural engineering capabilities while strengthening its presence in Texas.

Encotech will join Trinity’s built environment business, adding commissioning and third-party quality assurance and quality control services alongside its engineering work. The acquisition is intended to broaden Trinity’s support for clients across the project life cycle.

Founded in 1990, Encotech operates offices in Austin and San Antonio. Its projects span civic, commercial, education, infrastructure, multifamily, transportation, and travel and leisure markets.

The firm also brings experience in sustainable design and Building Information Modeling. Those capabilities complement Trinity’s broader environmental and engineering services and create opportunities to connect teams and client relationships across its built environment practice.

Encotech’s leadership will continue in key roles within the division. The team includes CEO Ali Khataw; President Scott Francis; Patrick Morrissey, principal and vice president of mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering; and Lucas Stockburger, principal and mechanical discipline lead.

They will work closely with Walter Mehl, divisional president of Trinity’s built environment business.

Trinity said the acquisition forms part of its continued expansion through both acquisitions and organic growth. Its approach brings together complementary technical disciplines while retaining the client relationships and market expertise of individual practices.

For Encotech, joining Trinity provides access to additional technical capabilities, a wider geographic footprint and colleagues serving developers and architects internationally.

Founded in 1974, Trinity provides consulting services across environmental, health and safety regulatory compliance, the built environment, life sciences, and water and ecology markets. The Encotech acquisition adds engineering resources in Texas and extends the range of services available through its built environment business.
