For over 30 years, CTE has provided geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineering, as well as survey, construction inspection, and materials testing services to support the development and maintenance of communities across California. CTE is a leading engineering firm purposely diversified in its technical abilities to provide project owners with a single-source firm to accommodate numerous project design and construction requirements. In early 2021, CTE joined the UES family of companies - the largest, most experienced, and resource-rich organization of its kind in the nation with nearly 3,300 professionals and 70+ national branches across 21 states. The leadership, personnel, and most importantly, the exemplary service synonymous with CTE remains unchanged. For CTE’s clients, this merger represents continued project success and brings with it the benefit of UES’ unmatched resources, cutting-edge technology, and 58 years of proven industry experience. Our combined team of professional engineers, geologists, scientists, and field technicians are registered throughout the United States, and most hold advanced degrees in their specialized fields. In addition to our technical expertise, our laboratories are accredited through nationally and locally recognized agencies, including CCRL, AASHTO, Division of State Architects, City of Los Angeles, Caltrans, and USACE. Our state-of-the-art geotechnical laboratories are equipped to perform the most advanced geotechnical tests, including standard tests for typical construction materials (soils, concrete, asphalt, steel, and masonry), as well as specialized, less commonly performed tests, such as STADIUM® concrete testing and analysis.
