Everything's Bigger in Texas, Including Donan Engineering

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Donan Engineering Co., Inc. today announced plans to open a new office location in Houston, Texas.  Donan will begin offering forensic investigative services from the new location on June 1, 2012.  This office will represent the third office for the firm in the state of Texas, with offices already in Austin and Dallas.

"They always say everything is bigger in Texas, so we thought it was appropriate to think big in regards to our business in the state," says Kevin B. Abell, Donan Engineering's Chief Sales and Marketing Officer.  "This will be our third office opening in Texas in 2012, so that says volumes about our approach and commitment to being an industry leader in the state.  We feel the only way for us to live up to our lofty commitments of being an industry leader in both customer service and turnaround time is to have the appropriate staffing levels and coverage areas.  With that in mind, we thought the next logical step was to open an office in Houston, which will allow us quickly and easily handle work in another major area of the state."

Abell went on to say, "Texas has been a big success story for us from day one, and because of that early success, we want to make sure we are everywhere our clients need us to be from a coverage standpoint.  Everything we do is driven by our desire to perform at a high level for our clients.  We can't control the outcome of our investigations, as the facts are what they are, but we can certainly control the customer experience they receive when dealing with us."

Donan Engineering offers consumers a single source for forensic engineering investigations and fire origin & cause investigations.  The firm offers a wide array of services falling under the main categories of structural engineering investigations, fire and explosion origin & cause investigations, roofing investigations, and component testing.
