Dunham Engineering

What Dunham Engineering does

Dunham Engineering is a privately held engineering services firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in College Station, Texas, with a regional office in Oklahoma City. The firm specializes in storage tank inspection, design, and rehabilitation, corrosion engineering for steel and concrete structures, water and wastewater facility evaluation, and AMPP-certified coating and lining inspection. Service delivery spans project lifecycle from concept through startup, combining professional engineers with AMPP Level I, II, and III certified inspectors who perform ASTM D4541 pull-off and ASTM D3359 adhesion testing. The Oklahoma City office adds finite element analysis (FEA), ASME pressure tank engineering, and welding inspection capabilities.

The firm's primary customers are municipalities and utilities requiring water storage infrastructure inspection, maintenance, and regulatory compliance, with a secondary industrial client segment served for fuel and chemical storage tank projects. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on a website with direct contact forms, phone outreach, and a multi-year track record of SSPC and Tnemec award-winning municipal tank projects across Texas (Bryan, Sugar Land, La Porte, Port Arthur, Celina) that function as both brand-building and lead-generation assets. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services fees billed per project, with no subscription, product, or licensing model. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public ownership records beyond a 2024 Leadership Message and Ownership Announcement that suggests a recent change in leadership or ownership. Operating geography is concentrated in the Gulf of America region, with no global footprint claim. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and remains actively operating under a 2026 copyright notice.
