What Mc Squared does

MC Squared is a Tampa, Florida-based professional services firm specializing in geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, construction materials testing, and construction engineering and inspection (CE&I). The firm operates across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, serving public infrastructure agencies and private engineering and construction clients on transportation, water, and civil works projects.

The company's service portfolio spans the project lifecycle from pre-construction through execution: subsurface investigations and foundation recommendations, environmental site assessments and remediation support, soil and aggregate laboratory testing, and on-site CE&I plus instrumentation monitoring during construction. Delivery is structured around technically licensed personnel (Professional Engineers, NICET- and ACI-certified inspectors) operating from accredited laboratories, with project artifacts produced as engineered reports, specifications, and field inspection records rather than software or platform products.

MC Squared generates revenue through project-based contracts awarded directly by public agencies (FDOT, SFWMD, USACE, City of Tampa, Hillsborough County) and through subcontract and task-order relationships with larger engineering and construction primes such as AECOM, AtkinsRealis, Lane Construction, and Gresham Smith. Since 2022 the firm has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACES US Holding Inc., itself part of the Middle East-based ACES Group (founded 1983, 4,000+ employees, 25+ offices). In April 2026 the firm acquired MAE, extending its footprint into Jacksonville/North Florida.
