Environmental Consulting

EVALUATING RISKS & DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS

Understanding the  environmental conditions for a project is critical to identifying and limiting potential liabilities and increasing the success of the project. The development of correct remedial responses for identified environmental issues requires a broad understanding of site-specific chemical, hydrologic, soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater conditions, and the impact these conditions will have on a completed project.

MAE can provide the expertise necessary to evaluate risks associated with identified environmental issues, and develop innovative, practical and cost effective recommendations to reduce or mitigate the risks for your project or facility. When communicating with the various regulatory agencies involved in mandated environmental compliance, MAE acts as the Client’s Advocate to protect the Client’s interests, while actively moving toward the ideal solution.

Our crew from MAE (Meskel & Associates Engineering) is out conducting nighttime geotechnical soil sampling and site investigation along Gate Parkway in Jacksonville. Performing this work after hours keeps traffic moving smoothly during peak daytime hours while ensuring safety for both our team and passing drivers.

Huge thanks to the night crew working hard to keep Jacksonville’s infrastructure projects moving forward safely and efficiently!

📍 Location: Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, FL
🚧 Status: Active Nighttime Operations
Our team is hard at work conducting geotechnical drilling and soil sampling out at the Trail Ridge Landfill Techgate Tank project in Jacksonville! 

Projects like this require precise engineering and ground testing to ensure everything built is safe, stable, and ready for long-term operations. Huge shoutout to the crew out in the field getting the job done safely and efficiently!
From Jacksonville to the Panhandle — MAE is on the move! 

Our crew recently rolled into Gulf Breeze, FL to conduct geotechnical field exploration in support of an FDOT Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study. When the project calls, we answer — drill rigs and all. 

PD&E Studies lay the groundwork for smarter transportation planning, and quality subsurface data is what makes it all possible. That's where we come in. 

No job too far. No soil too deep.

The Mike McCue Park and Boat Ramp (located at 2501 Second Avenue North) is temporarily closed for a highly anticipated bulkhead replacement project.  As the southernmost Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) ramp in Duval County, this is a favorite launch spot for many of us. 

However, due to heavy bulkhead damage and shoreline erosion, this critical upgrade is necessary to ensure long-term safety and stabilize our waterfront infrastructure. Ensuring Top-Tier Quality Behind the Scenes To guarantee that the new bulkhead stands the test of time, Meskel & Associates Engineering (MAE) is on the job! Our team is heading up the vital concrete and materials testing for the project. By rigorously testing the concrete strength, MAE is ensuring our new bulkhead is built on a rock-solid foundation capable of handling Florida's coastal elements.
When the job site is on the water… you take the drill rig WITH you. 
Our crew has been out on the St. Johns River conducting geotechnical exploration for the Hecksher Drive Marina project in Jacksonville, FL — and yes, that is a drill rig on a barge. Because when the subsurface investigation needs to happen over water, we find a way to make it work. 
Not your average Tuesday in the office. 
Shoutout to our field crew for doing what it takes to get the job done — rain, shine, or open water.
Forget runway fashion — today we're celebrating our own kind of "fit check." 
Hard hat: check. ✅
Hi-vis vest: check. ✅
Steel-toe boots broken in just right: check. ✅
Sunglasses to survive the Florida glare: absolutely check. ✅

It might not be Paris Fashion Week, but our MAE crews show up every day dressed for the job — safety first, style optional (though we like to think we still pull it off).
Field notes from the SR 312 extension project :
Today's lineup: one drill rig, two trucks, zero air conditioning, and grass tall enough to lose a shoe in. Our Geotech crew braved the Florida wilderness (and probably a few mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds) to drill down and figure out what's really going on beneath all that green.
Turns out "scenic overlook" and "active job site" can look surprisingly similar out here. 
Big thanks to the team for getting boots-on-the-ground (and knee-deep in weeds) so SR 312 can keep moving forward!
Behind every strong structure is a team ensuring the materials used are durable, compliant, and built to last. From concrete testing and soil stabilization to aggregate supply and quality assurance, Construction Materials Lab services are what bridge the gap between a blueprint and a building that stands the test of time.

We take pride in helping builders, engineers, and developers lay the groundwork for success—literally.

Ready to start your next project with materials you can trust? Let’s build something great together.
