MSD is committed to giving back to the community through various initiatives and partnerships, and one of our most notable collaborations is with The Victory Project (TVP). We are proud to be a part of their mission to empower young men in Dayton, Ohio, by providing them with the tools they need to succeed and break free from the cycle of poverty.

The Victory Project is a privately funded 501(c)3 after-school program that focuses on mentoring disengaged young men in grades 8-12. Their mission is to empower youth to discover the life God intended by mastering self-awareness, self-sufficiency, and selfless service while tearing down the pillars of poverty, all without government funding.

TVP is open year-round, six days a week, and builds relationships with the young men they serve, earning the right to be heard. Their program provides a wide range of services, including sharing dinner together throughout the week to feed them physically, tutoring and working at their micro-enterprise to feed them intellectually, and Bible studies to feed them spiritually.

Currently, TVP can serve up to 50 youth at a time in their facility located at 409 Troy Street in Dayton, Ohio. However, they are planning to open a second boys’ campus and their first girl’s campus in 2023 to provide even more young people with the opportunities and support they need to succeed.

The Victory Project’s motto is “It’s less about what we do and more about what we undo,” and their approach is to create an environment so valuable that the student modifies their behavior to maintain membership. This approach is what sets TVP apart from other organizations that force compliance on their members.

MSD is proud to support TVP as one of our Give to Grow Community Involvement Initiatives. We have signed up for a couple of dates to provide members of the victory project dinner after school and work activities. Our team is excited to be a part of this initiative and to make a difference in the lives of these young men.

In conclusion, The Victory Project is an organization that focuses on education, entrepreneurship, and enlightenment in the greater Dayton Area, and MSD is honored to be a part of their mission. We believe that by working together, we can create a better future for the youth in our community and break down the pillars of poverty that hold them back.

At MSD Inc., we take pride in providing exceptional service to our clients, and our six-year working relationship with Sondra Massengale is a testament to our commitment. Sondra had a great experience working with our team, who were tasked with a new construction installation for two of her buildings and provided PM’s afterward. Despite some challenges that arose, including an issue with the manufacturer of one of the HVACs at Shull Rd, we were able to resolve the problem to Sondra’s satisfaction.

We are thrilled to hear that Sondra was more than satisfied with the quality of work that our team provided.

Today school safety is at the forefront of everyone’s mind. With the increased number of school shootings and other violent incidents, it is essential to have robust security measures and systems in place to protect our children, teachers, and administrative staff. Recently, the State of Ohio provided School Safety Grants to eligible schools to help them enhance their security systems. MSD Technologies, a leading security solutions provider, helps schools utilize these grants to implement advanced security measures to protect their schools and grounds.

The School Safety Grants cover a range of security improvements, including video surveillance system and door access control system upgrades. These upgrades help schools detect, abate, and respond to situations more rapidly, increasing the safety of students and staff. These upgrades can include Artificial Intelligence (AI) analytics for security cameras, security camera additions, additional door access controls, door ajar notification, lock-down systems, and First Responder access.

Video surveillance systems with AI analytics can detect and classify people, vehicles, faces, license plates and more in real-time.  Intrusion detection, loitering detection, zone entry and exit, and other functions are options that help identify potential threats while reducing false alarms. Newer video management systems (VMS) help operators analyze the video footage to find events faster and more easily.

Access control systems that limit entry to authorized personnel only are critical to school safety. Door Ajar notifications alert school personnel when doors are left open for a certain amount of time. This helps prevent doors from being propped open, potentially allowing unauthorized entry.

Emergency lock-down systems immediately secure interior doors on the system at the push of a button.  Entry and exit of classrooms and other areas is limited to those with credentials. During a lock-down event, First Responder Access allows building access by police, fire, and other emergency personnel. This allows them to respond rapidly while maintaining facility entry and exit control.

School safety is of the utmost importance. It’s imperative that robust security systems and measures are in place to safeguard students, teachers, and staff. The State of Ohio offers School Safety Grants to eligible schools to help enhance their security systems. MSD Technologies can help schools determine the best way to utilize the grants to increase security and protection. With their expertise and commitment to service excellence, they are the perfect partner for districts looking to enhance their security systems and the safety of their students and staff.

MSD Technologies helps clients make informed decisions through relationship-based consulting with a mission to deliver 100% client satisfaction. They recently acquired B&G Technologies, a security and fire alarm solutions provider serving Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus, Ohio. They have over 20 years of expertise in helping schools with security and safety needs including security cameras, video management, fire alarms and access control.

As a business owner, you know how important it is to keep your facility running smoothly. One of the most critical aspects of maintaining a functioning facility is ensuring that your drainage system is clean and free of debris. That’s where MSD Inc comes in. Our team is dedicated to providing top-notch service and quality work to keep your facility’s drainage system working properly.

At MSD Inc, we believe in “right-size service.” We understand that drain problems can vary greatly from business to business, depending on the type of demands placed on them. That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution for drain system issues. Instead, we offer a range of drain cleaning technologies, including high-pressure water jetting, digital drain imaging and 3D location, and the highest horsepower cable machines in the industry.

Our high-pressure water jetting technology is a green solution that uses only water, eliminating the need for additional chemicals. It’s powerful enough to clear even the toughest blockages in the largest of drains, and it can also scrub any drain piping clean of buildup. In many cases, we’re able to restore your drain to “like new” conditions. We also offer mini high-pressure water jetting for smaller drain applications.

Our digital drain imaging and 3D location technology uses digital color CCD imaging and a 6-channel tracker to eliminate the guesswork in identifying your problem. This allows us to provide you with a visual representation of the issue, so you can see the drain blockage for yourself.

We also use the highest horsepower cable machines in the industry, which allows us to power through even the toughest jobs, saving you time and money. We believe in “right-size service,” which means you’ll never pay for more than what you need.

When drain issues stop your business, time is of the essence. That’s why we have a quick and professional response team ready to handle any situation. We’ll get you back up and running in a timely fashion, so you can focus on maintaining your bottom line and schedules. And for those who are concerned about “up-time,” we offer custom-tailored, scheduled maintenance programs to give you peace of mind and prevent problems from shutting down your business.

MSD Inc is a trusted name in the commercial and industrial drain cleaning industry. Our team is dedicated to providing our clients with accurate and cost-efficient solutions, utilizing the latest drain technologies.
