History

Madrid Engineering started in 1992 in Tampa as a small consultancy specializing in geotechnical engineering.  MEG obtained its certification as a disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) from the Florida Department of Transportation soon thereafter, and began working on roadway and other transportation-related projects.



We then branched out to other areas of geotechnical engineering, in support of housing, industrial infrastructure, water supply and wastewater removal, commercial enterprise, and the like.  For several years, MEG supported the environmental industry by installing monitor wells and completing water quality sampling in accordance with FDEP regulations, and was a valued subconsultant for the districtwide District One environmental consulting contract.

MEG showed its innovative side by completing ground-breaking research and application of chemical stabilization of waste phosphatic clays that are useful in reclaiming very soft clays for multiple uses.  We also worked with others to patent the Phos-Filter™, a revolutionary method to reduce phosphorus in surface waters and stormwater runoff.  By the year 2000, MEG began completing design-build projects, and in 2002, MEG had begun its work in subsidence investigations. 

MEG now has over 30 employees, four drill rigs, an in-house laboratory, and specialized capabilities that continue to grow year by year.  Our staff have expertise in civil, geotechnical, structural, aeronautical and computer engineering, as well as geological sciences, geographic information systems, and other technologies.
