WMC-DC has prac ced environmental stewardship on projects that have larger land areas through which the site design condi ons can allow for crea ve land use ideas in such forms as stormwater infi ltra on and bio-reten on, pervious pavements and grasscrete surfaces, recycled res and concrete aggregates, tree preserva on even with addi onal costs, excess tree plan ngs for solar screening, reuse of sanitary sewage for irriga on, and other adap ve techniques. WMC-DC will evaluate the

site prior to the start of design to determine if any envi-ronmental opportuni es exist or if addi onal opportuni- es can be created through the use of Green Design.

Testimonials

By providing consistently high quality engineering, surveying, and landscape architecture services, WMC-DC maintains solid rela onships with our Clients. It is a testament to this level of service that many of our clients are repeat clients.

I worked with Wiles Mensch in my role as a landscape architect with the D.C. Department of Parks & Recrea on. Wiles Mensch performed a number of surveys for us, of parks ranging from small urban sites to large stream valleys. I was impressed by the breadth of knowledge within the fi rm that allowed them to provide us not only standard topographical and u lity data, but hor cultural informa on, as well. Addi onally, because Wiles Mensch has in-house landscape architectural exper se, they were able to bundle into their services the prepara on of an environmentally-sensi ve redesign of a trail system at one of our badly-eroded stream valley parks; the proposed design builds on the desire lines of hikers yet lessens the erosive impact of foot traffi c. Sherry A. Frear, Landscape Architect at DC Offi ce of Planning & Capital Projects

As a project manager at HOK and in charge of leading the Na onal Mall turf rehabilita on project, I have worked with Wiles Mensch during their performance of surveying and civil engineering services. During that me, Wiles Mensch was able to eff ec vely and effi ciently perform all the neces-sary tasks and du es required to perform the requested services. Wiles Mensch seemed well informed about District and Federal surveying and civil engineering regula ons and was readily available to assist with any ques ons or concerns.

As a result of Wiles Mensch’s quality of work, I recommend their services for future projects. Suze e Goldstein, AICP LEED AP, Sr. Vice President at HOK
