Building on relationships

In SSM, municipal, county and state governments have a multi-faceted, full-service engineering/consulting firm that serves as an extension of their operations. They appreciate our versatility and responsiveness because the challenges they face cover the spectrum: infrastructure improvements, planning, zoning and ordinance preparations, water resource management, GIS applications. They might involve engineering design, or perhaps our logistical, technological, environmental or administrative expertise. Often the challenge involves a combination of disciplines. The more facets to the challenge, the more our clients can appreciate the efficiency of a single-source SSM solution.
