Tharpe Engineering Group, is located in Savannah, Georgia, just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and 125 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina, one of the most seismically active areas in the Eastern United States. These geographic features create a unique and challenging environment in which to practice structural engineering. Having dealt with the challenges of seismic and wind engineering for over seventeen years in this area, our firm has the knowledge and experience necessary to provide our clients with safe, cost-effective, and constructible designs that will withstand all environmental constraints.
Our company was founded on the belief that technical excellence and strong client relationships play an equal role in defining a quality engineering firm.
We are distinguished in our field based on our unmitigated dedication to design quality, client relationships, and the community in which we live, work, and grow. We are enthusiastic about making our clients' vision a reality, and we are continually exploring new ways to enhance our engineering and design processes in order to accomplish this objective.
