What Our Clients Say...

We will gladly work with him again…

We were fortunate to work with John and MEA Engineers in a recent matter requiring detailed forensic engineering and expert consulting services.  His thorough technical analysis, practical insights, and ability to explain complex issues clearly were instrumental in the successful resolution of the case.  We will gladly work with him again.  I highly recommend him.

A Dream Come True thanks to MEA

After purchasing our dream waterfront property in the Keys, we received notice that our house building permit had expired.  Several local engineers told us that we had to start the process over.  We reached out to MEA Engineers who diligently researched the situation, discovered legislation that applied to our situation, and worked to have our permit reinstated. We continued working with MEA to design and permit our dock.  We encountered extensive state, federal and local hurdles to building the dock.  MEA remained diligent, utilized their decades-long relationships with permitting authorities and experience building docks, and achieved success getting our permit.  Thanks to MEA, we are able to continue our love of diving and fishing in the Keys right from our own backyard.  We are confident our dream home and dock would not have happened without MEA Engineers’s expertise and commitment!

We highly recommend John…

We were very pleased with John Kampmann’s work as the engineer for our seawall project. His extensive experience with marine and waterfront engineering was evident from the initial design through permitting and construction, and his knowledge of the permitting process proved invaluable. John worked closely with our contractor, helped keep the project moving forward and remained accessible and responsive throughout the entire process. We highly recommend John to anyone undertaking a seawall or waterfront construction project.

John’s input was crucial

MEA recently accompanied us on an inspection of the berths at an oil terminal in Miami to assess the current condition and potential improvements required for safe and continued service.  John’s input was crucial to our client’s decision to continue to invest in the $200M+ property and ensure the Port of Miami maintains a critical refueling terminal to service the Cruise and Cargo industry.
