Civil Engineering Solutions Oregon & Idaho
HBH Consulting Engineers has been delivering civil engineering solutions since 1997, specializing in water, wastewater, transportation, and infrastructure projects across Oregon and Idaho. Our mid-sized team partners with municipalities, utilities, and private clients to create innovative, cost-effective systems that meet regulatory requirements while supporting sustainable growth. With decades of regional experience, we focus on reducing operational costs through advanced design approaches, such as energy-efficient aeration systems in wastewater treatment plants. Our engineers have served as City Engineers for 19 communities, providing comprehensive planning, permitting, and construction management services. We maintain strong relationships with state and federal agencies, assisting clients in securing funding through programs like the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.Our technical expertise extends to vulnerability assessments, hydraulic modeling, and emergency response planning for water systems serving populations under 10,000. Recognized for award-winning designs, we combine individual specialization with team collaboration to deliver projects on time and within budget. Our staff's 15-year participation in Oregon's Surface and Ground Water Circuit Rider program demonstrates our commitment to small community water systems. From master planning to construction inspection, we provide end-to-end engineering services tailored to local needs. Our success in complex projects like the award-winning Tillamook Southern Flow Corridor reflects our ability to integrate flood control with recreational infrastructure.
