It has completed nearly 10,000 projects throughout Florida, some out of state, and a few internationally. it has grown numerically in terms of number of employees, equipment, and capabilities. Madrid Engineering has also grown in the number of clients and the size of jobs we are able to complete. Finally, our reputation for engineering skill and problem solving has grown over the years.
“Madrid Engineering has achieved this 25-year milestone with the help of our employees, including several who have left the company over the years to launch their own companies, finish their degrees, and take on successful management roles at other engineering companies and at the FDOT. Our employees make the difference”, said Larry Madrid.
The company offers subsurface investigations with an in-house fleet of drilling and sampling equipment; laboratory analyses of soil, rock, and concrete; and technical expertise in the areas of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, geological science, environmental compliance, and extensive construction inspection services.
Awards
