Civil Engineering and Permitting

Woodland Pulp LLC owns and operates a semi-integrated, kraft pulp mill in eastern Maine. In 2018, Woodland sought to permit the construction and operation of two new tissue machines and re-permit two existing tissue machines to relax self-imposed licensing restrictions.

Since 2009, SME has provided engineering and support services for ground-mounted solar photovoltaic installation projects throughout Maine. These arrays, with power generating capacities ranging from 63kW to 26MW, have been installed on private and public properties, such as municipal landfills, business parks, farmland, and previously undeveloped land.

SME worked closely with Bangor Savings Bank in the redevelopment of their 4.6-acre corporate headquarters campus in Bangor’s Waterfront District. SME provided Phase I environmental site assessment, geotechnical investigation, geothermal well investigation, civil/site design, permitting, utility coordination, and construction oversight for this project which incorporated green infrastructure for long-term sustainability.

SME provided engineering design and permitting expertise for the redevelopment of Pineland, including demolition of select structures, and renovation and new construction of over 300,000 square feet of buildings.

The Wishcamper Companies retained SME and ReVision Energy to design, permit, and install a solar array on a portion of the Westbrook Heights Business Park in Westbrook, Maine.
