Company History

Barry Isett & Associates, Inc. (BIA) is a full-service engineering firm, with locations in Trexlertown, Delaware Valley, and Hazleton, PA.

BIA began offering engineering services in 1977. Our initial services included structural and civil engineering and surveying to architects, private clients, and developers.

In 1979, a staff of five moved to the present office at Kressler Lane and Rt. 100 in Trexlertown. By 1983, BIA had grown to 15 employees, and our clients included municipalities, PennDOT, major utilities, health care, commercial and industrial clients, and the Federal government.

In 1986, BIA opened a branch office in the Delaware Valley area to serve our expanding client base in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Services offered at that location include surveying, structural engineering, and civil engineering.

BIA became a full-service engineering firm in 1989 with the acquisition of PACH Engineering, a mechanical engineering firm. In 1997, BIA opened an office in Hazleton to offer services to municipalities, local professionals, and developers in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Over the years, BIA has grown to a staff of more than 90, including 20 in the Delaware Valley office. Our services have also expanded to include grant writing, landscape design, environmental engineering and sciences, and the development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Our Offices

The core of our Trexlertown headquarters is a Victorian farmhouse. We completed our third expansion of the site in 1999 to fully accommodate our staff. The new section reflects the character of the original structure, which we see as representative of the quality architecture and engineering that BIA views as its standard.

Our Delaware Valley facility is located adjacent to Valley Forge National Park. With its vaulted ceilings, large windows, and exposed masonry some have called our new offices a “creative enclave” as Siegmund Lubin produced films here early in the Twentieth Century. Now in that same space, we use Twenty First Century technology in the design of our engineering plans.
