About
CEBC
The Consulting Engineers of British Columbia is a business
organisation that represents and provides assistance to consulting
engineering firms, rather than individual engineers, through corporate
membership. CEBC members number nearly 100 firms across the province
constituting a sizeable portion of the industry in BC. Member firms
range from the sole proprietor to the large multinational corporation.
Incorporated as a Society in 1976, with liaison groups in the Okanagan
and Vancouver Island, the CEBC provides a top-down approach to improving
the commercial environment for consulting engineering firms by lobbying
to policymakers in districts, provincial and municipal governments
as well as clients in the private sector. It coordinates a common
industry approach on procurement, contract language and liability
issues.
CEBC actively promotes members’ consulting services. It maintains
close alliances with other business and technical organizations to
keep abreast of issues developing in related industries. Through its
affiliation with the Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada,
the CEBC promotes its members’ business interests at federal
and international levels, as well. For more information see Services
to Members.
CEBC firms provide leading edge engineering and technology-based consulting
services for the built and natural environment through independent
expert multidisciplinary advice to clients. They provide services
in the fields of building, infrastructure, transport, communications
and information technology, project management, environmental management,
water engineering, geotechnical, chemical, electrical, energy and
mining. To search for a CEBC consulting engineering firm, visit Directory
of CEBC Member Firms.
CEBC members produce results. Their outstanding accomplishments are
many of BC’s landmarks. These include: the Lion’s Gate
Bridge, the Alex Fraser Bridge, the One Wall Centre, McNair Creek
hydroelectric project, seismic upgrades to the Royal Columbian Hospital
Health Care Centre, Town of Golden’s sewage treatment upgrades,
the Yoho Bridge and more. As BC prepares for the 2010 Winter Olympics,
watch for CEBC expertise in many new projects. |
