About Us
Since its founding in 1986 the size of our company and the complexity of our projects have grown. Today we provide not only design services, but also planning, preliminary engineering, permitting, and construction observation. We have successfully completed the design, permitting and construction of numerous major transportation projects, flood control reservoirs, pump stations, embankments, water mains and water systems, storm sewers, and large open channels.
Receiving his doctoral degree in civil engineering from Purdue University, CBBEL President Christopher B. Burke embraces education and encourages continued learning among his employees. Our staff includes four PhDs, eighty-two licensed professional engineers, and a team of licensed professional land surveyors, a licensed structural engineer, and a licensed landscape architect. Thirty staff are certified floodplain managers and twenty are certified professionals in erosion and sediment control. CBBEL staff represents nearly 14% of Illinois' certified floodplain managers and 10% of the state's certified professionals in erosion and sediment control.
At CBBEL, we are committed to delivering consistently accurate, timely, and cost-effective solutions to a wide range of engineering and environmental challenges.
