Corbin Consulting Engineers (CCE), along with their subconsultants Mackenzie and Century 3, provided architectural and engineering design and construction administration services for the new Hitachi High-Tech BaT Project in Hillsboro, Oregon. The CCE team did an excellent job in preparing the design while meeting customer expectations and schedule requirements, and they were very responsive in supporting construction administration during the construction phase of the project. The CCE team was also highly collaborative and easy to work with.

Over the course of the past 25 years, I’ve had the distinct privilege of working with Corbin Consulting Engineers on a large and wide range of projects, with varying degrees of complexity, cost, and schedule. My relationship with Corbin began during my career at a large semiconductor company in Oregon, where we installed a large number of sort and e-test systems, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) systems, and other ion beam-based systems. At times this included creating the labs which would house these very sensitive systems, requiring complex mechanical, electrical, seismic, and acoustic design. Later, as a project management consultant with Lam Research, I continue to have, by choice, the opportunity to work with Corbin on the creation of a large number of engineering labs, a new high-density SEM Lab, cleanroom process tool installs, scrubbed exhaust, and makeup air systems, as well as the fit-up of a new chemical management support building. As awesome as these accomplishments are, they don’t adequately describe the intrinsic value that Corbin brings to my team. The company, from top to bottom, is focused on serving the needs of their customer. They’re honest with regards to their capabilities, they don’t over-commit and underperform, and are truly integrated into the project delivery process. They have a very well-defined vision for their company, and manage their growth accordingly, which means that their team is stable. It’s for these values, and more, that makes it an easy choice when I need a design firm to support my project load.

As a PM for Fortis Construction, I have had the privilege to work with Corbin Engineering for the past eight years on multiple tool installations, and tenant improvement projects. Corbin is thorough in their design and responsive in their communications. Their friendly and knowledgeable expert teams are a pleasure to work with. We consider Corbin a trade partner and enjoy working on complex projects together.

It’s a pleasure collaborating with Corbin Consulting Engineers. Partnering with Corbin is always a productive experience: Key personnel are hands-on and responsive, and designs are cost-effective and sensible.
