About Us

Our Company

WNA Engineering’s history can be traced back to 1972 with the establishment of Lawler & Associates. As the company’s client base and team continued to grow, the company established a second office in Pittsburgh. WNA Engineering was created in 2015 through a merger of Negley Design and Wilson Lawler Engineering. In 2022 the company opened a third location in the Philadelphia Area through the acquisition of Vinokur Pace.
