In early 2021, CTE joined Universal Engineering Sciences (UES), one of the largest, most experienced, and resource-rich geotechnical firms in the U.S. Because of UES' abundant national resources, CTE continues to provide expert solutions and superior services backed by national experience, widespread industry knowledge, and a relentless dedication to excellence.

CTE has grown to become a large, regional, multi-disciplined engineering company, employing more than 150 professionals and serving as a leading engineering firm in the southwestern United States. As a part of the UES family of companies, CTE is connected with nearly 3,100 full-time staff consisting of engineers, geologists, laboratory specialists, surveyors, drillers, project managers, and administrators.

CTE first opened its doors in 1989 with just two Civil Engineers and one Engineering Geologist.
