Another month, another perfect score!
Meskel and Associates Engineering (MAE) is proud to share our latest performance results on both of our FDOT contracts.
For July 2026, our lab earned an Outstanding rating (5/5) for reporting into FDOT`s MAC system — entering all test results within one business day, a 100% on-time rate.
This continues a strong streak throughout 2026, with our team consistently hitting same-day reporting across every month evaluated so far this year. Behind every one of those numbers is a lab team that treats deadlines as a baseline, not a stretch goal.
At MAE, timely, accurate materials testing isn`t just a contract requirement — it`s how we support safer roads and keep FDOT`s project schedules on track.
Proud of our team for this consistency and looking forward to keeping the standard high through the rest of the year.
