Established in 1995, in Tullahoma, Tennessee, Oliver-Rhoads & Associates was founded by Mr. Barry Rhoads and Mr. Dean Oliver as a full service consulting engineering firm, with the intent to provide superior quality services at all levels. The firm was started from a “ground-zero” concept, in that no attempt was made to bring clientele from their former employers. The firm has since added two partners; Mr. Tim Little and Mr. Tony Gipson to complement the technical and managerial capabilities of the firm.
The entire staff at ORA has had multiple project experience and very large project experience gained while working at large Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA bases.
ORA has been in involved in many large complex projects since its inception; most notably a very large Data Center in Europe demonstrating the ability of the staff to respond across international and cultural boundaries.
