Over the years, CBC Engineers & Associates, Ltd. has earned a broad "return customer" base. There is not a better measure of our business than what our customers think of us.
For 16 years CBC Engineers & Associates, Ltd. has been solving some unique problems across many engineering disciplines. The common thread through most projects is Geotechnical in nature.
CBC Engineers & Associates, Ltd. services can be broken down into the following major categories:

Engineering Resources
The strength of CBC Engineers & Associates, Ltd. is the people that make up the company. From Engineers to Draftsmen and from Field Technicians to Support Staff, all of CBC's personnel believe in delivering quality engineering support and services to our Clients. This work ethic has brought repeat customers to CBC for 16 years now. CBC's people believe in high quality, fast turn-around times, and making each customer interaction a pleasant and rewarding experience.
Our staff at CBC may be one of the more diverse in the industry carrying disciplines such as Geotechnical, Civil, Mining, Structural, Geologists, Land Surveyors and Environmental Scientists. From the meager beginnings, CBC with 2 engineers on staff is now closing in on 2o engineers some 15 years later with 9 being Registered Professional Engineers and 3 being Registered Professional Land Surveyors. CBC's then Chief Engineer, Dave Cowherd, M.S., P.E. surrounded himself with great talent to train and secure the next generation of CBC. We lost Dave in March of 2011 in a plane crash and so today Mitch Hardert CBC's second Chief Engineer moves forward having been the recipient of years of training by Dave. CBC's values in Client relations and ethics in the engineering profession continue to be the cornerstone that guides CBC as we move forward to the next generation of CBC engineers. Personnel of CBC Engineers & Associates, Ltd. hold P.E. Registrations in 48 of the 50 states, only California and Alaska and remain. We literally work all over the country and beyond in some cases.
CBC's New Chief
Mitchell T. Hardert, P.E. has assumed the position and responsibility as Chief Engineer of CBC Engineers and Associates, Ltd.
Mitch is a 1998 Graduate of The University of Dayton with Bachelor of Science Civil Engineering Degree. However, Mitch's real engineering training started in 1996 under the wing of then CBC's first Chief Engineer, Dave Cowherd. Dave was an expert in coal impoundment design and permitting and an expert buried structure design and evaluation, not to mention, Dave was the first Geotechnical Engineer Graduate from the University of Kentucky. So his Geotechnical Engineering skills were quite good as well. After 15 years of being trained and guided in these very principals, Mitch has stepped into the role as Chief Engineer with great confidence and a specialized training not offered by any school. Dave's legacy will live on at CBC under the leadership of Mitchell T. Hardert.
As Chief Engineer, Mitch will be registered with every state of the union and parts of Canada. All applications are in process except for California and Alaska where state specific tests are required. CBC's, Angie Van, has coordinated this large undertaking. She reports that all 48 State P.E. registrations have been received to date. Only California and Alaska remain.
Please feel free to send Mitch an email of congratulations at mitchhardert@cbceng.com.
CBC Awarded a Large Buried Structure Contract
In February 2011, CBC's Buried Structures Team sent a proposal to the DOTD prior to the death of Dave Cowherd in a small plane crash on March 30, 2011. The DOTD was notified immediately by CBC personnel of the necessary change in the submitted proposal. Due to this unusual circumstance the DOTD had to re-evaluate CBC with out its then Chief Engineer, Dave Cowherd. Weighing this change, on May 27th, 2011 the DOTD awarded the project to CBC.
"We are so very pleased that the DOTD has enough confidence in CBC to award this project to us despite loosing Dave. Having this opportunity to perform and to participate in such an important program as the evaluation of their buried culverts and bridges, truly means a lot to the CBC family."
The DOTD Award Letter
The contract requires some 270 culvert structures to be Load Rated using LRFR method. These 270 structures represent a little more than 10% of the total number of culverts in the DOTD's inventory. The DOTD hopes to gain knowledge through this contract to allow them to create a culvert inspection program to Load Rate all remaining structures. This should lead to a repeatable culvert inspection program for not only the DOTD, but for other DOTs around the country to emulate.
