Tower Engineering Professionals is excited to announce the recent expansion efforts into the western market.  Under the leadership of Joe Banko, the Seattle office opened in June 2016.  We had a chance to catch up with Joe about what he hopes to accomplish in the new location.

“In year one, my main goal is to expand all our current inspection services in WA, OR, ID, Northern California, and Western Montana.  This includes TIA’s, PMI’s, Tower Mappings, Foundation Mappings, PCI’s, CWI’s, and anchor rod pull testing.  We want to increase the volume of these inspections with our current clients in the NW: Crown Castle, American Tower, US Cellular, SBA, and T-Mobile.  We want to also provide these services to new clients, potentially being:  Local construction contractors, US Coast Guard, AT&T, Verizon, and many others.

Also, one of the first things we will be doing is becoming certified as a special inspection agency with the Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO) and Oregon Building Officials Association (OBOA).  This will require testing, interviews and auditing. We hope to make TEP the premier tower inspection company in the Northwest. We look forward to adding services such as Structural, Construction, Environmental, Civil, and Geotechnical soon.
