There are a lot of firms that talk about personal service, imagination and professionalism. At TST it is ingrained in us. Indeed we live these principles every day. Our commitment to excellence is evidenced by the fact that over 85% of our business is awarded to us from existing clients, most of it sole sourced, who know the value of the services we provide. Here is what some have said:

City of Golden, CO - "TST has become an extension of our public works staff. TST can respond with timely and capable engineering service."
- Dan Hartman, Public Works Director

Town of Guernsey, WY - "We retain TST because they have taken time to know our community. They work for the community and always represent our best interest."
- Pamela McClure, Town Clerk

City of Lone Tree, CO - The City of Lone Tree relies heavily upon TST and their expertise to perform the responsibilities of a public works department for a rapidly growing City.
-Mr. Jack Hidahl, City Manager
 
City of Rocky Ford, CO - “Bob Takeda’s knowledge of the City’s water and wastewater systems has kept the City on track during some unexpected political changes.”
-Mr. Dan Hyatt, City Attorney
 
Town of Johnstown, CO - “Our trust is in Tim Farner. We know that all new construction within the Town will conform to our standards.”
-Mr. John Burgeson P.E., Town Engineer

“TST does almost all of my engineering projects. I’m a land developer and they do the civil engineering. I’ve known them for 15 years. One project: Omni Park – South Lincoln & I-25, across from Sky Ridge Hosp. 85 acres; build-out about 1 million square feet.
John Cotten at TST is great to work with. That’s who I go to.”
- Hank Vanderyst, TH Properties, Land Developer for 20 years, Denver

“I’ve known TST for 20+ years.  They are great to work with. We had a joint project: “Diamond Ridge”, in Castle Rock, a large, custom estate housing development. The individual lots are in excess of an acre each.  We worked with Ward; he’s great, very responsive, good communicators, and easy to work with.  TST does very good work.”
- Karen Henry, Landscape Architect

“TST is at the top of our list when it comes to many firms we’ve worked with. We’ve done a number of projects; from a small dental office to a large retail center.  That project had very difficult topography but TST worked well with the various entities and other consultants in coordinating between the various architects; structural, mechanical to make sure the civil engineering flowed seamlessly on the project.  I found TST makes the whole process easier and enjoyable.” "Plus, Ward is a fun guy! We really enjoy working with him.  Ward is totally unfazed by the complexity of a project.  They are good folks; we enjoy working with TST.”
- Phil Gerou, Architect, Gerou & Associates

“We bought a piece of land within a larger development and TST was our engineering firm for the overall development in 2003. Everything we’ve done together has been great.  Most of my sites entail multiple pad sites within a larger development which requires lots of coordination.  TST’s effort has been unbelievable. They did the civil part and some landscape design. I appreciate their timeliness first, and also that they go above and beyond the call of duty, working with cities and other land buyers.     They interface extremely well with people.  I would choose them first and their pricing is more than fair. Ward is a lot of fun...you can’t say that about a lot of civil engineers!”
- Rick Campbell, Vallejo Investments, Developer

“I’m a commercial/mixed use developer and worked with TST on Arvada Ridge; 65 acres located north of I-70/Kipling.  This was a mixed use project; part of a 280,000 sf Super Target anchored center that opened in 2006. Ward & Taylor are very professional, knowledgeable, responsive and client oriented; they really understand a client’s needs and priorities.” When asked: Under what circumstances would you hire another engineering firm? Answer: “I just think, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I would have no reason to go to anyone else as long as they are available when I need them.”
