About us

Our Practice.

We work on projects ranging from small, on-call design with limited scope and budget to large, multidisciplinary/alternative delivery projects requiring clear communication, detailed documentation, and accelerated schedules. Regardless of project size, CHE delivers quality geotechnical design and practical, cost-effective solutions for our clients.

  • We have led geotechnical planning, investigation and design of corridor improvement, bridge replacement, pavement rehabilitation, and fish passage projects across Washington and Idaho.

  • Our team has provided geotechnical design, project management, and alternatives analysis for water and wastewater projects throughout the Puget Sound, including conveyance pipelines, storage reservoirs, and new/upgraded treatment facilities.

  • Our team has significant experience providing geotechnical design and special inspection for large commercial, multi-use residential, and industrial development.
