SUMMER 2018
  

It has been a scorcher of a summer! In addition to our teams dealing with record temperatures while out in the field, our phones and email inboxes have stayed busy as we help existing clients and start projects with new ones.

Check out this Summer 2018 Quarterly Newsletter for a brief glance at the latest Civiltec projects in California and the people who make this work happen. If you know others who would appreciate this Quarterly Newsletter,  and encourage them to join our mailing list!

If you or someone you know would like to join the Civiltec team in our Monrovia office, check out the Current Openings page on our website.

2018 Civiltec Internship Program
2018 Civiltec interns
One of Civiltec's core values is to foster talent. Each summer, the firm takes on a number of interns to achieve this goal while supplementing the team's increased workload. For Summer 2018, Civiltec is happy to welcome six interns to join Gray Garrison, who began his internship last year. 

Expanding Services and Capabilities
DJI Phantom 4 Pro Drone
Civiltec has recently expanded the firm's overall expertise to include electrical and controls engineering, aerial surveying by drone, and additional surveying and mapping expertise.

Two of our Registered Land Surveyors--Ben Tilman and Ken Davidson in the Prescott office--recently earned their UAS commercial-level pilot certifications from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate our drone.

The City of Pomona recently contracted Civiltec to analyze the structure of two reservoirs and assess if either are in need of repairs. Built around the 1930s, Reservoirs 5A and 6 are due for a structural and seismic evaluation. Final plans and specifications are scheduled to be completed this Fall.

" I hit my four-year anniversary in April this past year - it has been a blast! I have learned how to use our computer modeling program, InfoWater, to model existing and new water systems. Further, I have grown professionally: I have gained confidence in myself as an engineer through both speaking and writing, and have learned how essential communication is."
