Engineering systems that support the buildings people rely on.
Schendt Engineering Corporation (SEC) is a Colorado Springs-based MEP engineering firm founded in 1999. It provides mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services for commercial, institutional, governmental, and industrial clients across Colorado, with deep specialization in central plant and distribution systems, high-temperature hot water (HTHW) systems, and controls for federal and military installations. SEC stays intentionally lean so every client receives principal-level attention from schematic design through construction administration.
