Gulf South firm celebrates 40th anniversary, continued growth in multi-discipline engineering consulting

NEW ORLEANS—(March 1, 2018)—MSB Consulting Engineers, a leading design and engineering firm serving the industrial, government, institutional and energy sectors, is celebrating 40 years of continued growth as a privately owned professional engineering corporation in 2018.

MSB was founded in 1978 by Michael S. Benbow, P.E., with the mission to provide engineering, technical and project support services for the Gulf South’s growing oil and gas industry. Since that time the company has continued to broaden its capabilities and extend its reach to a wide array of industries. MSB expanded into a larger consulting firm in the ’90s, growing their electrical and instrumentation divisions, and in the early 2000’s entering the telecommunications and technology field focused on fiber optic, cellular, wireless and wireline-network technologies.

Today, MSB is a full-service, multi-discipline engineering consultancy providing design engineering and support services to some of the most notable refineries, chemical plants, airports, convention centers, campuses, and large public venues in the United States. The firm provides specialized engineering services in electrical power systems, instrumentation and controls, telecommunications and technology, and support services including drafting and design, project / construction management, and technical field support and maintenance.

MSB CEO and Founding Partner Michael Benbow remarked: “This anniversary is about honoring our clients who have entrusted us as a valued partner and supported our growth into a multi-service professional engineering firm. We owe our success to our tremendously talented team, and I’m proud of our shared commitment to client satisfaction, quality and safety in every aspect of our work. We look forward to serving our clients well into the future and celebrating our mutual success for decades to come.”
