About Us: Experts in Turbomachinery

Fern Engineering's headquarters, located in Wareham, Massachusetts, USA, is a fully equipped engineering facility dedicated to gas turbine design and repair.

Fern Engineering was founded in 1967 as an engineering consultant company specializing in gas turbines. The company originally focused on providing design and failure analysis services to gas turbine owners and manufacturers. In 1979, the company was acquired by Thomassen bv, a Dutch gas turbine manufacturer. The company was commissioned to design a highly efficient 10,000 horsepower industrial gas turbine. The project, partly funded by the Dutch government, was cancelled early in 1984. Shortly thereafter, Thomassen divested themselves of their U.S. holdings, including Fern Engineering, and Fern Engineering, Inc. was reorganized and re-incorporated in July, 1984. The company is currently owned entirely by its employees.

Since its founding, Fern Engineering's principal objective has been to establish a standard of excellence in engineering services and products. In the past three decades, Fern Engineering has grown in stature and has earned the respect of its clients as one of the foremost, authoritative, independent engineering firms in the nation. Today, the company continues to pursue the traditional Fern Engineering business line of providing expert consulting and design services, as well as innovative products, to many segments of the domestic and international turbomachinery industry.

In addition to numerous state-of-the-art personal computers, Fern Engineering has three CAD stations equipped with AutoCAD™, and has licensed copies of ANSYS™ for finite element and CFD analysis, and GATE/Cycle™ for gas turbine and combined cycle power plant performance design calculations. Fern Engineering also has licensed copies of Rockwell Automation's PanelBuilder32™ and RSLogix 500™ for building Allen-Bradley programmable logic control (PLC) systems, as well as the latest version of Compaq Visual Fortran which is used in the programming of some of our performance monitoring software.

Fern Engineering has an extensive collection of literature related to gas turbines and HRSGs including technical journals and papers, OEM installation, operation & maintenance manuals and technical bulletins, OEM technical drawings, and design code books. Fern Engineering maintains accounts with the US federal government's National Technical Information Service and the Linda Hall Library which facilitates delivery of virtually any technical article or report within a matter of days, if not hours.
