The Mannik & Smith Group, Inc.

Creating a world where culture is respected and human health and happiness are embraced, where nature is protected and incorporated into our everyday life, all while creating a strong and healthy economy, is one of the biggest challenges our society faces. MSG has risen to meet these challenges head-on, embracing our responsibility as innovators and designers who can bring about real progress toward achieving global sustainability goals.

The way MSG practices engineering is inherently geared toward creating safer, healthier, and greener spaces for our communities.

Our multidisciplinary approach bridges the gap between recurring, high-impact problems and beautiful, functional solutions. Objectives considered are:

• Using materials extracted, processed, and manufactured regionally to reduce the environmental impact of transportation
• Strict adherence to construction activity pollution prevention and reduction by controlling soil erosion, waterway sedimentation, and airborne dust generation
• Reusing and repurposing materials where applicable
• Incorporation of green infrastructure and LID methods
• Restrictions on construction machinery idling and summer working hours to reduce the carbon footprint produced by project construction
• Implementation of trenchless construction technology for utility line construction may greatly reduce the potential for
• construction debris-laden runoff
• Utilizing Cone Penetration Testing for in-situ soil inspections to prevent lengthy turnaround, transportation costs and impacts, and environmental disturbances
