IT for Engineering
Keep CAD and BIM humming, project files protected, and deliverables on schedule — with a team that understands billable hours and design deadlines.
Engineering firms run on heavy tools and heavier files. CAD and BIM workstations, shared project drives, and collaboration with owners, architects, and contractors all have to perform — because a frozen model or a corrupted project folder eats billable time and threatens deadlines.
PGH Networks supports civil, structural, mechanical, and A&E firms across the Pittsburgh region with the horsepower, reliability, and data protection design work demands — from the workstation under the desk to the archive of every project you have ever stamped.
What engineering need from IT
Workstations that keep up
CAD, BIM, and analysis tools need serious hardware, current drivers, and tuned profiles. A sluggish workstation is a slow bleed on every billable hour.
Big files, shared cleanly
Models and drawing sets are huge, versioned, and shared across teams and outside partners. Storage, sync, and permissions have to be fast and right.
Protecting the project record
Stamped drawings and project archives carry professional liability. They must be backed up, retained, and recoverable — for years.
Deadline-proof reliability
Submittal and bid deadlines do not move. Systems have to hold up on crunch days, not just average ones.

How PGH Networks helps
CAD-grade workstation care
Specced, tuned, and lifecycle-managed workstations with certified drivers — so the tools your engineers live in stay fast.
Storage & sync that scale
Fast local storage, sane cloud sync, and clean permissions for multi-gigabyte project folders shared inside and outside the firm.
Backup for the long haul
Tested, immutable backups and retention policies that protect the project record your liability — and your reputation — rests on.
Security without friction
MFA, endpoint protection, and email defense that guard client data and IP without slowing designers down.
Contract & client security requirements
Public-sector and industrial clients increasingly attach security requirements to engineering contracts — including CMMC for defense-adjacent work. We help you meet them and document it.
