cbec provides solutions for a wide range of multi-objective projects in water-dependent ecosystems, with accomplishments ranging from the Sierras to the sea, and beyond.
We design restoration measures that will improve degraded systems using natural processes and apply innovative design techniques to maintain a healthy and diverse ecosystem without frequent intervention.
By combining hydrologic modeling with species prediction modeling, we can determine the potential ecological outcome of physical modifications to river channels and their adjacent floodplains.
The majority of our accomplished staff is educated to a PhD or Masters level.
Collectively, they have earned a multitude of additional licenses and accreditations including: professional Civil Engineer (PE), Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM), Certified Professional Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC), Qualified Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Developer/ Practitioner (SWPPP QSD/QSP).
