TAPPs purpose:
To design and manufacture the infrastructure supporting the advancement of our society

TAPP is committed to this purpose and I am excited to be a part of the journey:

This is a special industry, deserving our best design solutions. Power line projects are complex
and the process leading up to structure design and delivery is very sensitive. Developers want
supply partners that perform with an understanding of, and appreciation for, the overall
projects success.
Engineering as a competitive advantage

Engineering emphasis and reputation is a strategic differentiator.

Utility customers and consultants expect a high degree of technical competence in this
industry. Engineering has a key role in TAPPs success with customers

Custom engineered products meet demanding requirements, by definition.

We play a vital role by transforming unique requirements into product designs that can serve
in a structural and electrical system effectively.

Skillful engineering gives consideration to function, economy and aesthetics

Efficient designs consider more than structural optimization. Key criteria must be considered
in the structural design, detailing, fabrication, testing, assembly and erection of power delivery
structures.
Engineering as a vital communication link
Engineering teamwork & communication within TAPP / Polesa and with the
customer has a magnifying effect.
Proactive communication from engineering will set the tone for open and responsive
cooperation throughout the project from quote to cash.

The engineering team at TAPP is an integral part of a larger organization which

exists to serve internal and external customers with skill and respect.
As qualified engineering and technical professionals, we exercise our role skillfully, with a
mind toward the overall value stream results.

The TAPP family consists of many contributing members who enjoy achieving our
goals collectively.
Teamwork and respect are foundational to growth and success. We invest in each other as we
tackle each days challenges and are committed to getting better together.
It is a great work we give ourselves to.
