Plumbing Engineering

Plumbing and fire protection require close coordination with owners and architects to arrive at the most appropriate solution for any project.  No two projects are the same, and our engineers examine a number of factors in design including owner goals, sustainability, functionality, cost, and future maintenance.  Rushing applies our current knowledge of materials and products, codes, and system design to every project and coordinates closely with the overall team to deliver an integrated, customized solution with the best possible outcome for both the owner and the planet.
