Puckett Engineering specializes in mission critical (as well as non-mission critical) engineering, commissioning, and maintenance program development. The company is about making sure your critical systems stay on and available, and that your facility infrastructure is designed, installed, and maintained in a way that maximizes life cycle costs. That’s the critical difference between off and on.
History

In other words, Puckett Engineering aims to meet the electrical and mechanical needs of their clients’ facilities, including sensitive and critical equipment, and thereby keep their business and processes in operation.
Collaborative Team Partners
From the beginning, Puckett Engineering has collaborated with other engineers and architects that meet its high standards. Through that network, Puckett Engineering provides full facility and infrastructure design and commissioning services.
Environmental Stewardship
Mike Puckett, principal engineer, is LEED Accredited and other employees are undergoing the certification process. Even before the Green Building Council began the LEED program, Puckett Engineering was designing its projects to conserve energy and resources, to reuse materials where possible, and to reduce and recycle waste. On every job, Puckett Engineering utilizes sustainable principles in order to provide savings for its clients and to protect the environment. With regards to its in-house operations, Puckett Engineering is adamant about recycling, minimizing waste, and is moving toward a paper-less office.
