Tulsa Engineering Alliance Joins International Liquid Terminals Association

Tulsa Engineering Alliance (TEA) recently joined the ILTA. We are growing and have a great deal of experience in Liquid Terminals and it just made sense to join this association. The ILTA does a great job promoting and watching out for the interests of those involved with Terminals. We have personally worked in so many Terminals, all over our country and I know it sounds corny to say but at Tulsa Engineering Alliance “We Love Terminals”.

Tulsa Engineering Alliance Turns Switch on Their New Website

Heritage in the Past, Engineering for the Future is the theme of our new website.

My mother found the picture we used on our website’s home page while going thru some of her old photos. The man in the white shirt is her Father, my Grandfather, Les Thomas. Mom found an additional picture of him setting on a storage tank. We used that picture as the front of our company brochure. We so loved these pictures of our grandfather that they became the inspiration for our new company logo and website.

For many years, my grandfather, Les Thomas, traveled the oil fields of Oklahoma and Texas practicing his craft of building wooden storage tanks. The picture on our home page was taken at the famous Texas, Burk Burnett oil field.

After a fall from a storage tank, like the one pictured, left him severely injured he was forced to leave the oil fields and turn to the land to provide for his large family.

The dust bowl saw him having to leave the family farm, pack up his family and traveling to pick fruit and vegetables in Arizona and California, to survive. In similar circumstances many would have just given up. But he was an exceptionally tough old Englishman.

While gazing at these pictures recently, we came to realize that we carry so much of his work ethic and family loyalty with us everyday. To us, he exemplifies the true “Okie Spirit.” It was this “Okie Spirit” that he passed down to us and it is in that same “Okie Spirit” we choose to honor our Grandfather, Les Thomas, on the home page of our website, our logo and company slogan.
