History

Our President and founder, Helge Theiss-Nyland was born in Norway and graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering. He moved to the United States in 1982 where he was employed by Gayner Engineering of San Francisco. He then spent the next five years in their design department working on major projects including Chevron, U.C. Berkeley Labs and Stanford Hospital. 

He founded Bay City Mechanical, Inc. in 1991 in Richmond, California and the company has grown to become a design and build mechanical engineering and contracting company with $75 million in annual revenue and is the sixth largest mechanical contracting company in the San Francisco Bay Area.
