Engr. Marvin S. Lacre

Engr. Marvin S. Lacre Marvin S. Lacre obtained his Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at the University of the Philippines - Los Baños in 2002. (SEAD).

In 2003, he acquired his license as a registered civil engineer. He is taking his Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering at Ateneo de Davao University. He started his career as an engineering and irrigation design specialist in a leading banana production company from 2002 to 2007. Then, he had an opportunity to work abroad; he joined a contractor company as Head of Design and Estimation, work

ing on various projects in major Oil and gas companies in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, from 2007 to 2012. Another opportunity came; he moved to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and worked in a Project Management and Consultancy company, working on work packages and Project Management Supervision as a Senior Civil Engineer/Quantity Surveyor from 2013 to 2017. Then, he returned to the Philippines and worked in a diversified company as Lead for Engineering Shared Services from 2017 to 2021. During the same period, in 2019, he founded his own company, LML Engineering Solutions, as Principal Civil/Structural Engineer. In 2022, he co-founded a construction company, MLMS Constructions and Supply, Inc., and just before the end of 2023, he co-founded a supply trading company, C M Squared Trading Corporation. Later, in 2019, he joined a prestigious organization as an Associate and became a Regular Member of the Structural Engineers Association of Davao, Inc. He served on the Board of Directors from 2020 until the present, and in 2022, he also served as President.

Sustainability must deliver results, not reports. Creating abrupt, vertical boundaries at the forest edge leaves ecosystems vulnerable to wind damage, thermal stress, and chemical drift. We are engineering Graded Edge Architecture… building living, multi-layered ecotones that serve as the forest’s active defense system.

The Engineering Logic:

• Aerodynamic Lift Mechanics: We don't just clear land; we profile it. By designing a stepped, ascending edge from grasses to high canopy, we force destructive winds up and over the forest, eliminating structural windthrow risks.
• Microclimate Insulation: We manage boundary layer resistance (r¬b). Our multi-tiered edge design seals the forest interior against harsh solar radiation and desiccating winds, preserving the critical humidity and cool temperatures required for stable soil carbon.
• Contaminant Infiltration Deflection: We engineer active biological filters. High-density, high-surface-area perimeter plantings intercept agricultural runoff and chemical drift, acting as a sacrificial frontline that keeps the interior pure.

By engineering the outer boundaries of the landscape, we deliver functional results: protected core habitats, minimized edge degradation, and resilient forestry assets that thrive next to active agricultural zones.

Sheet Pile Wall System

Sheet piles are interlocking steel, concrete, or vinyl sections driven into the ground to provide earth retention and water control. They are widely used in retaining walls, cofferdams, excavation support, and waterfront construction because of their strength, durability, and quick installation.

Sustainability must deliver results, not reports. Downstream concrete levees only accelerate floodwaters, passing the crisis to the next community. We are engineering the alternative: Riparian Hydraulic Drag—using forest architecture as a physical brake on flood waves.

The Engineering Logic:

Maximizing Manning's Roughness: We don't just grow trees; we engineer hydraulic resistance. By calibrating the spatial density of trunks and coarse woody debris, we drive up floodplain roughness, dropping hazardous water velocities back down to safe levels.

Hydrograph Flattening: We manage flood wave routing. By slowing the velocity of out-of-bank flows, we expand transient valley storage. This lengthens the time-to-peak, spreading out a destructive flash surge into a manageable, low-energy release over days.

Structural Bank Stabilization: We utilize biological shear reinforcement. The root matrices of targeted riparian species mechanically anchor riverbanks, raising the critical shear thresholds required to eliminate severe erosion and channel failure.

By engineering structural roughness back into our river corridors, we deliver functional results: protected urban centers, reduced levee dependency, and self-healing river systems that handle extreme climate anomalies naturally.
