Formed in 1945 as Pierson & Tidball, the firm originally provided Civil/Structural and Mechanical Engineering. As time passed, the emphasis of work became exclusively Structural. Upon the death of James G. ( Jim ) Pierson in 1968, corporate status was assumed. Operation continues on that basis today. Jerry W. Estoup, P.E., Peder R. Golberg, P.E., and Tonya Halog, P.E. are the principals of the corporation. The current size of the firm is nine people. Our office is located in the heart of Portland, Oregon at 320 SW Stark, Suite 530 in the historic Oregon Pioneer Building. We are located above the landmark restaurant Huber's ( the oldest restaurant in town ). Since 1968 James G. Pierson, Inc has provided structural design for projects constructed in 35 of the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Australia and in several of the provinces of Canada. With local architects and School Districts we provide design for school buildings whose constructed value averages $20 to $30 million annually. Over 235 educational projects have been completed since 1968. Reports and studies for the purpose of determining suitability for continued use and requirements for seismic upgrading are often prepared by the Firm. Throughout the years the Firm has also provided structural services for approximately eighty historic renovation projects. Over the last decade and a half we have averaged about a million square feet every three to four years of retail and strip center construction.
