Anacapa Engineering and Design

What Anacapa Engineering and Design does

Anacapa Engineering and Design, Inc. is a privately held, multidisciplinary engineering, design, and consulting firm founded in 2017 and headquartered at 9100 Ming Avenue, Suite 110 in Bakersfield, California. The firm operates across three client sectors — Industrial, Energy, and Commercial/Public/Residential — and delivers seven engineering disciplines in-house: Mechanical, Civil, Structural, Process, Electrical Engineering, Permitting, and Project Management. The company serves enterprise and government clients throughout California (with permitting experience across 20+ counties) and selectively outside the state, including a documented $300 million commercial solar thermal facility engineered in Oman.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees spanning small single-discipline assignments (under $5,000) to large multi-discipline EPC projects (over $500,000), with phasing across scoping, feasibility, FEED, 30/60/90/IFC design, and construction support. The technology stack is built on industry-standard tools — ETAP, AutoCAD, CADWorx, CAESAR II, and Civil 3D — augmented by patented IP held by Technical Director Stuart Heisler in concentrated solar steam generation for enhanced oil recovery. Service segments center on conventional oil & gas, renewable energy (biogas/RNG, biodiesel, hydrogen, biomass, solar PV/thermal, energy storage, fuel cells, CCS), industrial manufacturing and mining (MSHA Part 48 trained), and California public works including DSA K-12 schools.

Go-to-market is partner-led direct enterprise field sales with relationship-based business development, supported by event sponsorships (Kern County Energy Summit, API Bakersfield SJV, CSUB/LLNL Carbon Management symposium), professional association involvement, and community engagement across Kern County. Named enterprise clients include Rio Tinto's Boron Mine, Kern County government, Fairfax Union School District, Tulare County, and FoodLink Tulare County's Agriecology Center, with named renewable projects including the CalBio Kern Cluster, CalBio West Visalia, Hanford Mainspring Linear Generator, and Antora Project. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external institutional investment and has accumulated 200,000+ safe work hours alongside 80+ completed EPC projects and thousands of oil and gas engineering projects.
