Engineering Associates (EA) is the Town Engineer for Thermopolis. EA has been in continuous operation under various names since 1952 and was incorporated as Engineering Associates on January 1, 1970. EA has provided municipal engineering and surveying services to the Town of Thermopolis since 1961.

Engineering services completed during our tenure as the Town Engineer include many facets of civil engineering work, including preliminary reports and studies, estimated costs, and conceptual designs; preparation of grant and funding applications; final design, drawings, specifications, engineers' estimates, contract document preparation and administration; and construction surveying, field observation, testing, and construction administration. A variety of surveying services have also been completed in Thermopolis including records research and planning; control, boundary, land title, and water rights surveys; land descriptions, water rights applications, petitions, and maps; site plans; and subdivision preliminary and final plats.

Many projects require different disciplines of qualified professional personnel to complete the project successfully. Engineering Associates has a long history of team building with sub-consultants to provide the Town of Thermopolis with quality professional services on projects requiring special expertise. EA has developed close working relationships with firms that possess strong capabilities in special disciplines to insure the Town has highly-qualified professionals working on its' projects.

The team approach allows us to select the most-qualified professional services appropriate for each of the Town's projects. Work is efficiently completed with ongoing verbal interoffice communications, as well as the use of the latest drafting and engineering software.

Engineering Associates works closely with the administration and various departments within the Town to provide appropriate services on various projects. Close coordination with Town personnel helps improve the quality of completed projects while insuring compliance with the various local, state, and federal requirements impacting projects.

To protect the health and safety of the public, Wyoming State Statutes require that all drawings, plans, specifications, estimates, and construction of public works projects be completed under the direct supervision of a registered professional engineer (PE). As Town Engineer, Engineering Associates utilizes the expertise of thirteen PE's, two professional land surveyors, seven engineering interns, two surveying interns, and various highly-competent engineering technicians during planning, design, and construction of various projects for the Town.
