• Energy & Chemicals: Services in this sector range from engineering for refineries and sustainable infrastructure to specialized projects like Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) sites, waste-to-energy plant retrofits, and nuclear technology systems.
• Infrastructure: Merrick works with local and federal governments, private-sector clients, land developers, and utilities, focusing on transportation, water, land development (residential, commercial, mixed-use), and federal civil infrastructure.

Products and Services Offered

The company's offerings are structured around its four primary technical disciplines: Engineering, Architecture, Geospatial, and Surveying, along with integrated delivery methods.

Engineering Merrick provides a full spectrum of engineering planning, design, and construction administration services. The engineering excellence crosses all disciplines, which include: * Civil and Structural Engineering: Foundation and structural design, site planning, and public works infrastructure. * MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) Engineering: Design of HVAC, power distribution, lighting, and fire protection systems. * Process Engineering: Specialized design for industrial processes, including bioprocessing, chemical plants, and clean/renewable energy systems. * Nuclear Technology Systems: Expertise in complex, high-reliability systems and compliance with strict standards like NQA-1.

Architecture The architectural group focuses on technically demanding projects, offering planning and design services for a variety of building types: * High-Containment Facilities: Design of laboratories and research facilities with stringent safety and technical requirements. * Government and Institutional Buildings: Planning and design for military facilities, office buildings, and specialized complexes like planetariums. * Industrial and Commercial: Projects involving industrial warehouses, large-scale facilities, and commercial/mixed-use developments.

Geospatial Solutions (Mapping and GPS) Merrick & Company is an industry leader in geospatial services, which is a key component of its offerings, aligning with the "Mapping and GPS" focus. This segment provides highly accurate remote sensing and mapping services, crucial for informed decision-making across all markets. Specific products and services include: * LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): Aerial and mobile LiDAR data collection, processing, and analysis for generating precise 3D models and elevation data. * Photogrammetry: Creating measurements and maps from aerial and satellite photographs. * GIS Mapping and Applications: Developing Geographic Information System (GIS) solutions, custom web-based applications, and data management for clients to visualize and analyze geographic data. * UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems/Drones): Utilizing drone technology for aerial imagery and LiDAR collection in infrastructure and land development projects. * Transportation Mapping: Comprehensive mapping services for roadway projects, including traditional surveying, aerial mapping, and subsurface utility engineering.

Surveying The surveying team provides full-service, in-house capabilities essential for project planning and execution: * Boundary and Cadastral Surveys: Defining property lines and recording land ownership. * Topographic Surveys: Mapping the natural and man-made features of a project site. * Route and Alignment Surveys: Essential for linear projects like pipelines, roads, and utility corridors. * Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE): A critical service for identifying and mapping underground utilities.

Integrated Project Delivery Merrick also offers specialized delivery methods to streamline complex projects: * Design-Build: An integrated project delivery system where Merrick manages both the design and construction aspects under a single contract, leveraging trusted contractor relationships. * Commissioning: Providing commissioning agents for large-scale and technically complex facilities to ensure all building systems function as intended, from initial design through final handover, with experience in military and high-containment laboratories.
