Check out this awesome shot of a concrete pour in action for the bridge abutments on the NDOT US 50 project at Lahontan! This is where raw materials meet precision engineering, setting the stage for a rock-solid foundation that will support the bridge for years to come. From the steady flow of concrete to the…
Happy holiday…testing? Yes! Holiday Testing is a real and very important non-destructive testing method. CME inspectors utilize this procedure to detect pinholes and voids in protective coatings. This photo shows holiday testing of coatings inside of a pump can at the Santerra-Quilici 1 Booster Pump Station project.
May your holidays be filled with joy, peace, and time well spent with loved ones. On behalf of all of us at CME, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

When you can’t go over the railroad tracks, you go under them! This future gas line in Lockwood required rock core drilling to support the design of a horizontal directional drilling pipeline crossline. To assist Granite Construction with their plan to connect to existing natural gas lines in Lockwood, CME is performing a geotechnical analysis…
On August 8, 1907, the first professional engineering license was issued. Today CME celebrates Professional Engineers Day with the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). We are appreciative of the professional engineers and engineering interns on our team who go above and beyond to lay the foundation of a stronger future!
CME is working around the clock on the NDOT US395 North Valleys Project! Improvements in this phase include widening 395 southbound from two to three lanes between N. McCarran Boulevard and Golden Valley Road and adding sound walls near residential areas. We appreciate you being kind and patient with the construction crew on site as…

CME is one of a handful of firms in northern Nevada to perform ultrasonic testing. Non-destructive testing (NDT) ultrasonic testing (UT) is a non-invasive testing method to assess the condition of bridge pins and other components without damaging the material. It is also used to test the components of a variety of steel structures. Pictured…
