What Encorus Group does

Encorus Group is a multi-disciplinary engineering, testing, and inspection firm headquartered in Springville, New York, with additional offices in Depew, West Seneca, Rochester, and Utica. Founded in 1996 as Robert J. Runge II Consulting Engineers and rebranded to Encorus Group in 2017, the firm operates four integrated service divisions: Engineering and Architectural Design (mechanical, electrical, civil, structural, fire protection, process, automation, architectural, commissioning, and forensic engineering); Civil Materials Testing and Non-Destructive Examinations (NDE), including radiographic, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, and ground-penetrating radar testing; Mechanical Integrity Asset Management (API 510/570/653 and NBIC inspections); and Regulated Building Materials (asbestos, lead, mold, PCB consulting and abatement design). The firm holds ASME NQA-1 quality assurance compliance, NBIC Authorized Inspection Agency accreditation, SDVOSB certification, and API certifications, and operates a materials testing laboratory accredited by CCRL, AMRL, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The firm generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements as prime contractor, subconsultant, or teaming partner. Its customer base spans federal agencies (Department of Energy national laboratories, VA Medical Centers, WIPP), New York State agencies (Office of General Services, Syracuse Regional Airport Authority, NFTA), industrial operators (Linde, Lonza, Repsol, HF Sinclair, NOCO Energy, Sonneborn, VanDeMark Chemical), educational institutions (SUNY system campuses, University of Rochester), oil and gas midstream firms, and developers/contractors (Turner Construction, Piccone Construction, Buffalo Bills stadium project). GTM motion is enterprise field sales augmented by RFP responses, government contracting, and industry trade show participation (FABTECH, ETEBA). Go-to-market is geographically anchored to the Northeastern United States with multi-year contract cadences on recurring inspection work.

In 2024, Encorus Group merged with Buffalo-based Sienna Environmental Technologies and opened a Rochester office to extend civil testing and NDE coverage into the Finger Lakes region. In 2025, the firm completed a transition to a 100% employee-owned structure (ESOP). The firm employs 100+ multi-licensed professionals, including 15 Licensed Engineers, and reports 3,500+ career inspections and engagements across 26 SUNY campuses.
