For a decade, Community Engineering Corps (CECorps) has utilized the collective technical expertise, volunteer networks, and resources of our founding partners ASCE, AWWA, and EWB-USA—powerhouses in the infrastructure and development sectors. We recognize that there are many engineers who feel called to use their time and expertise to support those in need! CECorps connects volunteers to meaningful opportunities to grow their skill set and network while addressing infrastructure inequities in underserved communities. We can help you find fulfilling ways to engineer local impact.
Services We Provide
Community Engineering Corps volunteers provide pro-bono engineering services that may include consultation, investigation, evaluation, planning and design of engineering works and systems, engineering studies and the review of construction for the purpose of assuring substantial compliance with drawings and specifications.

Second, the amount of water in the storage tanks changes too rapidly during demand surges. To ensure a steady supply, the client is hoping to increase their storage capacity and replace the well that stopped producing last summer.
Lastly, the company has noted that to service parts of the system, sections need to be shut down, suspending water access to certain areas. The company is looking to install redundant pipes to allow a bypass, ensuring there is no interruption in service for clients.
