Catch My Continental Drift

Introducing the MacKay Sposito Technical Blog for Energy, Public Works and Land Development Markets

At MacKay Sposito, our business is complex, and it’s sometimes challenging to describe what we do and who we serve. We played around with a few ideas, and settled on an analogy that uses land, since it’s one element that ties our business together.

I’ll compare our business (MacKay Sposito) to Pangaea. You may remember the Pangaea theory from your high school geology class - it was a single supercontinent that divided into several land masses over 200 million years ago.  

Forty years ago we were a supercontinent. Over time, our business, like Pangaea, separated into three market sectors (or, in keeping with our comparison “three masses”): Energy, Public Works and Land Development.  As these land masses developed, communities were created, energy/power systems were built and infrastructure was constructed. While all three continents occupy the same planet, they are distinctly different. Similarly, our market sectors are all tied together by one company, MacKay Sposito.
