TGE and Sam Wilkes has consistently provided excellent, accurate, and responsive service on our projects. When EOR services with drawings provided by the engineer are required, Sam is our guy. We also utilize Sam in an "over-the-shoulder" capacity reviewing and redlining drawings we produce and he consistently performs these duties faster than other engineers we utilize in this capacity.
