Laird + Smithers

Laird + Smithers not only provides Structural Engineering services for new construction and historical projects, we also provide Civil Engineering services.

One of our projects currently under construction is the UMMC Center for Emergency Services. This 27,500 square foot building will house helicopters (in addition to a Helipad) for UMMC and other emergency vehicles used for statewide emergency response. It will also be used as a training facility for emergency personnel. This center will be a great asset to the state of MS in those unfortunate circumstances where time is of the essence.

Laird + Smithers provided civil engineering services for the approximately 9.5 acre site, including a 75 space parking lot and detention pond. Along with providing engineering services for grading, drainage, utilities and other typical site work items, the project includes a 375 foot long retaining wall which provides interstate frontage for UMMC.
