Engineering

The foundation of our engineering practice was established 30 years ago with an intense fascination of applying the technical aspects of water resources engineering to practical applications in stormwater and stream restoration.

Inspections

For over 15 years, the SMC team has established a significant  post-construction stormwater inspection practice. Our inspection teams are responsible for the ongoing inspection of thousands of facilities throughout the Mid-Atlantic.  

SMC-Environmental-Construction-Equipment

Construction

The ultimate purpose of engineering is to build stuff. So it’s no surprise that, after many years of water resources engineering, we brought together a talented team of construction professionals to build it.

SMC-Surveys-Land

Surveying

SMC Surveys provides a wide range of surveying services throughout Maryland for land owners, SMC projects, and on design and construction teams as a certified DBE/WBE.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

…We couldn’t be happier with the result of the stream restoration and permeable, wheelchair-accessible trail construction at Woodend Nature Sanctuary. SMC was a wonderful partner in the realization of our dreams for the property. The project manager and superintendent from SMC always prioritized the smooth operation of our education programs, as well as property rentals during this complex project. Together, they also devised creative and practical “field engineering” solutions to challenges that were not addressed in the paper plans. The SMC team was very organized about invoicing, materials clearance, permit inspections, and a hundred other administrative details for a project with county, state and federal funding requirements.

We were very pleased with the survey [John] and Joe did this morning.  Both were professional, pleasant and efficiently did exactly what we wanted done.  They skillfully handled the wrinkle encountered. We will be pleased to recommend SMC to anyone else who requires surveying or storm water management work.
