OUR COMBINED COMPANIES

From our beginnings as a basement start-up, WallacePancher Group (WPG) has steadily grown following the core vision of “bridging the gap between engineering and ecology”.

As the next step in our evolution, WPG has joined The Mannik & Smith Group, Inc. (MSG).

 

As of September 1, 2024, all WPG employees became MSG employees, and will continue to serve our clients just as before. All WPG office locations will remain open and begin to receive support from MSG’s technical, administrative and accounting teams.

WPG and MSG share a core philosophy of working as a team with strong customer service to promote the collaboration of client and design professionals to advance projects.

Our professionals include engineers, environmental scientists, landscape architects, design technicians, surveyors, and an amazing administrative staff that work together to deliver projects.

To achieve this, we thoughtfully blend staff from each discipline to form management-staff structures that encourage collaboration at all phases of project development.

How We've Grown

The WallacePancher Group consists of an expanding group of firms that have joined together to provide comprehensive in-house, land development and infrastructure design services.

2016 – Hays Landscape Architecture Studio in St. Clairsville, OH acquired by WPG

2020 – Richland Engineering Limited (REL) in Mansfield, OH joined WPG

2022 – Mackay Engineering & Surveying in Cleveland, OH joined our Team

These strategic acquisitions enhance the capabilities and depth of staff resources by offering Landscape Architecture (Hays), Roadway and Structural Engineering (REL), and Municipal Engineering (Mackay).

CIVIL ENGINEERING

WallacePancher Group provides professional Civil Engineering services for a variety of projects and clients from initial site surveys through final design plans, permitting and construction inspections.

Our Project Managers and Staff Engineers are focused on accurate and timely project design while delivering high-level customer service. We have served clients in every step of the land development process; provided engineering consulting for municipalities, agencies, and private developers; as well as met the strict guidelines in transportation design.

We are adept and familiar with all aspects of land development projects, including surveying, site layout and grading, NPDES/SWPPP permitting, Stormwater Management and Design, infrastructure design and coordination, construction plans, technical specifications, construction oversight, and coordination with local, county, and state agencies. Land development projects range from residential improvements to commercial, industrial and retail sites and institutional/educational facilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

WallacePancher Group’s staff of biologists and environmental scientists provide the knowledge and experience needed to navigate the complex environmental laws and regulations that govern the project development process.

Since 2001, WallacePancher Group has developed a wide and diversified portfolio of successful projects across many business sectors, from Coal Mining to Commercial and Institutional Development to Transportation.

We approach each project with expertise in both the environmental regulations and the ecological principles that underpin those regulations. We have developed solid relationships with local, state, and federal regulators, which aid our clients with applications that meet the often “unwritten” requirements of regulators and result in efficient reviews and approvals.

Our staff has taken advanced training classes in Wetland Delineation and Botany, Macroinvertebrate Taxonomic Certifications, various state level data collection procedures (ORAM, QHEI, HHEI, Level 2 EA), HAZWOPPER, Brownfield Redevelopment, and Stream Restoration, among others.

From ecological data collection and assessment to site contamination evaluations, the Environmental Staff at WallacePancher Group have the knowledge and experience to guide even the most challenging project through the regulatory process.

We provide a wide array of environmental services over a diverse range of projects and clients. Our Project Managers and Staff Environmental Scientists have the regulatory knowledge and experience to efficiently navigate projects through the oftentimes complex process for permit approvals.
