A Marine & Waterfront Consultancy
OUR BACKGROUND
Triton is a practice of highly qualified, hands-on engineers engaged in project design of marine and waterfront structures. We focus on design that gets built and performs at a high level in the marine environment.
We were established in 1997 by Troy Gillum and Joe Perrone, partners with a defining background in the offshore industry. As engineers Troy and Joe were influenced by the industry’s use of technology to solve complex problems and high-performance coating and materials to provide durability.
They worked tirelessly to engineer and design reliable, economic, innovative, and buildable solutions at the shipyards and boat yards along San Diego Bay throughout the early 2000’s.
Today, Joe and Troy’s passion for and tradition of solving the needs of the working waterfront defines the essence of our identity and continues to push our work forward.
