Who we are
A specialist firm for the most demanding side of the airport.
While the giants spread across every market, LEAN goes deep on one: the electrical and navigational systems of active airfields. That focus — paired with a small, senior, jack-of-all-trades team — lets us move fast, phase work around live operations, and deliver a design that gets built.
Since 2003 we've served as prime consultant and Electrical Engineer of Record on airfield lighting, NAVAIDs, substations, and power distribution at many of the busiest airports in the U.S. and Canada — from as-needed on-call support to the largest airfield electrical program an airport has undertaken in decades.

Medium-voltage feeders, vaults, distribution, and standby/emergency power.
05
Airspace & Flight Operations
Instrument flight procedures, obstruction analysis, and airspace studies.
06
Photometric Testing & Commissioning
Field measurement and verification of airfield lighting to FAA tolerances.
07
Energy & Feasibility Studies
Solar, resiliency, and electrical capacity studies that de-risk decisions.
08
Security & Building Systems
CCTV, access control, and special / low-voltage systems for terminals.
09
FAA Compliance & CM

Why teams choose LEAN
Big-firm capability. Boutique responsiveness.
Senior people, every phase
Principal engineers do the work — not just the pitch. Your PM & EOR stay on the project start to finish.
Fast where it counts
A lean structure means fewer handoffs, quicker turnarounds, and a real person answering the phone.
Constructible by design
We design for how it actually gets built and energized — with phasing that protects live operations.
A certified diversity partner
Women/Minority & Small Business Enterprise certified — real credit toward your DBE participation goals.
Deep specialty bench
NAVAIDs, photometrics, ALCS, airspace — niche expertise most generalist firms subcontract out.
A trusted teaming partner
Primes bring us on for the airfield electrical scope they can't afford to get wrong.
