"For almost 15 years, PSE has collaborated with Hough Associates on a number of multi-discipline projects, engineered and managed from the 'front-end' design through detailed engineering, procurement and construction.  We have maintained a business relationship because Hough Associates are experts in E&I and Instrument Controls Engineering, provide strong field support, and also have experience in other technical areas.  Hough Associates always has responded in a timely and professional manner.  Most importantly, Tom Bombico always has been open and honest.  Integrity is a most important trait."

“I have had the privilege of working with Hough Associates for over 25 years both domestic and international. Members of this organization not only exhibit  "world class" and highly competent functional capabilities, but a great work ethic, and deep dedication & commitment to completing the required tasks regardless of the hours and adverse working conditions.

Hough Associates is not only an excellent design firm but also functions as a fabrication shop, procurement and commissioning organization

Due to the size and nature of the organization it is extremely flexible and able to adapt to schedule changes, "short notice" travel requirements, modifications to job tasks and is highly capable of overcoming numerous obstacles.

A few specific examples were the green field startups of the Deer Park Texas, & Kuan Yin Taiwan DuPont sites and most recently the rebuild of the DuPont Delisle TIO2 facility following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina

Hough Associates in my opinion is the most talented and "well rounded engineering organization" I have had the pleasure of working with and would recommend and highly endorse them for future contracts.”

“Hough Associates partnered with Westech Inspection on a project for NASA JSC, TX in the summer of 2007.  The job required mechanical integrity assessment of pressure systems to include piping, pressure vessels and boilers systems that support the space centers simulators.  These assessments included relief valve capacities and safety switches condition and remaining life for which Hough Associates had the responsibility of completing. The job had certain milestones that had to be met which required efforts by Hough and Westech to coordinate and expedite.  Hough proved to be a great asset during this process and produced a very thorough and comprehensive evaluation of which the NASA PS team was very pleased.  I was very satisfied with the work done by Hough Associates and look forward to working with them on more projects in the future.”
