There are 200-plus exuberant spirits at SME covering geotechnical, environmental, materials, construction materials and pavement services. No two are alike; you won't find a typical engineer or scientist in the bunch. Just joyfully committed folks who love what they do — and know how to carve out time for fun. From African cichlids (they're fish) to jazz to taxidermy to triplets to beekeeping to mountain climbing to sea dogs — we've got it covered. SME is excited to expand our staff with the formation of EDP Geosciences in Cleveland with the principals and staff of the former EDP Consultants. All four former principals of EDP Consultants, John E. Dingeldein, PE; Alan J. Esser, PE; D.GE Anthony L. Jarem, PE; and Joseph W. Petraus, PE continue in their work and services with the new EDP Geosciences.     © Copyright 2011 Soil and Materials Engineers, Inc.
