“We have completed several projects with the Talisman high-definition survey team that involved existing, and in some cases historic, buildings. The Talisman team has consistently delivered high-quality scans and Revit Models, allowing us to coordinate the new design and the existing conditions with a high level of accuracy and confidence that otherwise would not be possible. Their services saved time in design and construction and allowed us to mitigate unforeseen conditions we typically encounter with the existing buildings.”

Say "hey" to our newest Senior Engineer, Andrew Moran! Andrew brings a rich background in civil engineering to the Talisman team, with over two decades of experience that began at Evergreen Engineering in Park City with whom he eventually became a partner. A Lehigh University alum with a BS in Civil Engineering, his professional journey is complemented by a passion for outdoor activities, including mountain biking, road biking, and snowboarding. Andrew`s adventurous spirit has led him to memorable experiences like snorkeling with manta rays and octopus in Kona, Hawaii. He says he was drawn to Talisman for the good vibes and wide range of projects. Nice!

Outside the office, Andrew is a food enthusiast with a penchant for pizza, a pet lover with a cockapoo named Jovi and two cats, and a family man who happily fill his role as devoted "Swim Dad". Andrew`s professional goals are matched by his personal quest for continuous improvement, a journey influenced by insights from the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Andrew is not just an engineer but a multifaceted individual poised to make a lasting impact. Welcome, Andrew!
