Thornton Tomasetti optimises the design and performance of structures, materials and systems for projects of every size and level of complexity. We are an independent organisation of engineers, scientists, architects and other professionals who collaborate from offices worldwide to help our clients achieve their goals.
We tend to grow our own; most of our top executives have been with the firm for decades and have deep ties with our clients and the professional community.
Our leaders are employee-shareholders of the firm, and no shareholder holds more than 6% of outstanding shares. To ensure an infusion of diverse experience and fresh thinking, we also hire many mid-career professionals and seek and cultivate young candidates from around the globe.
Construction Engineering. Our integrated team approach brings together developers, contractors, designers, fabricators and erectors early to manage risk, improve schedule and control costs.
Decarbonisation. We’re fighting climate change by approaching decarbonisation from every angle. From energy generation, storage and use to built-environment design and operation, we know the most effective, cost-efficient ways to cut carbon emissions – every step of the way.
Defence. From conducting survivability and lethality assessments for military platforms and protective structures to providing computational tools that support mission planning and engineering, we help your equipment perform efficiently, effectively and safely.
Energy. We apply state-of-the-art science and engineering to solve some of the world’s most complex and challenging issues in the energy industry.
Façades. A façade is more than just exterior cladding or an outward-facing wall. It is a first impression – one that can seriously impact the functionality and aesthetic of a building.
Forensics & Investigations. We use relentless critical thinking and the latest technology to answer crucial questions and solve tough engineering problems.
Biomechanics & Life Sciences. From implantable medical devices and wearable fitness gadgets to drug delivery mechanisms and beyond – if a product interacts with the human body, we can help.
Protective Design & Security. Whether you’re an architect, owner, developer or public agency, we help achieve security objectives. We partner with project stakeholders to fully understand the unique requirements of a project.
Resilience. We help clients prepare, endure, adapt and thrive in a disruptive and changing world.
Restoration & Renewal. Our multidisciplinary teams have spent decades helping owners with a wide range of renewal needs – which means we know how to solve specific problems.
Structural Design. With 70 years of experience, offices around the globe and a history of designing some of the world’s most recognisable structures, we have the qualifications that will transform projects.
Sustainability. We collaborate with clients to create high-performance, low-energy facilities and communities that are efficient, comfortable and healthful at every stage of their life cycles.
