Outstanding in the field.

State government agencies know the value of bringing in SSM on the ground level. We've conducted environmental site assessments on brownfield properties for the Maryland Port Authority. Provided comprehensive land surveying and traffic engineering consulting for PennDOT. Assessed drinking water sources across the state for Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Source Water Protection Program (SWAP). When the DEP created the Source Water Protection Technical Assistance Program (SWPTAP), they partnered with SSM to help provide communities across the Commonwealth with the tools they need to better understand and protect their drinking water sources.

Structural Engineering for Gun Barrel Installation

SSM has supported several teams to serve in a multi-disciplinary way to the Department of Architecture and Preservation (DAP) of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) since 1995.

Source Water Protection Model Used to Evaluate Possible Pipeline Leak

As part of an approved Source Water Protection Plan, SSM created a three-dimensional groundwater flow model to determine the direction and time-of-travel of groundwater entering the supply wells. Within one hour of receiving the information of the possible pipeline leak, SSM’s lead computer modeler was able to determine a predicted groundwater flow path that a contaminant would take upon entering the groundwater aquifer.

Source Water Protection Technical Assistance Program (SWPTAP)

In conjunction with PADEP, SSM assists water systems in developing source water protection plans using GIS. Our professionals delineate protective zones around each well or surface water intake to show the areas that contribute to the drinking water supply, working closely with the water supplier and community representatives to identify ways of protecting these areas.
