"My professional and personal association with Dr. Marino and now MEA Corporation began mid-spring 1985 as a referral from a Civil Engineering Professor from the University of Illinois, Dr. Mahar. I was working for a gas transmission pipeline company which owned and operated a thirty-inch diameter, high-pressure natural gas pipeline, operating at 936 psig. They had been notified that a coal company was going to develop terminology, minimum design standard and propose changes to state and federal regulations to provide existing pipeline some protection from damage and loss caused by underground coal mine failures and subsequent surface subsidence. I have not worked with a more knowledgeable and dedicated professional. I highly recommend Dr. Marino and his staff to anyone needing geotechnical expertise. His services and professionalism have helped defend our facility's and pipelines' safety and long term integrity from underground mine failure and other earthen fill instabilities."

"We are pleased with our selection in using Dr. Marino to provide forensic engineering and expert witness services. We found Dr. Marino to be personable as well as providing excellent technical support for our geo-construction difficulties. Dr. Marino prepared a very thorough and complete report. The government did not dispute any of the report. It was a main ingredient that moved the government to settlement talks that resulted in settlement of our dispute.
"Thanks again for your assistance and support."

"Just a short note to express my appreciation for the efforts of you and your staff in the impoundment failure investigation. Your professionalism was consummate and your ability to react to events was seamless. Because of your organization of copious amounts of material responsively, we were able to use your work product to great effect and to bring this matter to a successful conclusion.
"On a personal level, I enjoyed working with you and I look forward to our next case together."

-Attorney, Partner

"We hired MEA to investigate the potential power plant site for our company. Because of an extremely tight schedule we needed almost immediate answers and MEA responded quickly to our needs. The site in question was over an abandoned underground coal mine and we were concerned with stability of that mine and subsequent surface subsidence effect. As a result of their investigation, MEA produced exactly what we needed - a prodigious and thorough report."

"I commend you for your splendid letter of June 24. I am impressed with your vision of the work to be done and proud to be associated with you...  Thank you for the material in your letter of August 10. It displays the high professional standard I associate with Gennaro Marino."

-Attorney, Partner

“I want to express my appreciation for the excellent expert witness services that Dr. Marino provided at last month's hearing.  Not only did he present an analysis that was technically superior, but he delivered it with a force and clarity that moved the tribunal confidently in our direction.  Before seeing his testimony, I did not think it possible that geotechnical engineering could be broken down to be so readily understandable or so persuasive.”

-Attorney

"The chaos surrounding the settlement of the principal claims in the ... case didn't leave time for me to say "thanks" for your excellent efforts.

I hope we have the opportunity to work on another project."

-Construction Attorney

"It is with great pleasure and confidence that I recommend Marino Engineering Associates to those seeking expert geotechnical engineering services.

I have worked on several major investigations with Dr. Gennaro Marino since 1993. His technical competence and dedication to his work are of the highest quality, and exceed any that I have experienced in the geotechnical field during my 38 years of practice as a structural engineer."
