Services / Specialty Engineering

Quality specialty engineering is a blend of skill and experience in construction and in design. CEC employs the latest in structural, geotechnical and CADD software to meet contractors’ special engineering needs. Michael C. Bone, P.E., is prequalified by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as a Bridge Specialty Engineer. Trestles, cofferdams, anchored tremie seals, wind bracing, shoring, temporary sheet pile walls, as well as erection and demolition plans, are but a few of the services we offer. CEC can take the pain out of such construction mistakes as out of tolerance pilings or omission of reinforcing steel, by utilizing solutions that are both rapid and cost effective.
