History
editThe firm was founded in 1980 as Texas Energy Engineers and incorporated October 6 by David B. Duthu, P.E. (a native of Houma, Louisiana and graduate of Texas A&M University) and partner Kermit S. Harmon, P.E., C.E.M., C.C.P., D.G.C.P., (a native of Paris, Texas).
In 1985, the firm expanded operations to Dallas, Texas by providing assistance with the orderly termination of business and closing of the office of William K. Hall & Associates.
In 1988, the practice was expanded to include the acquisition of the Dallas office of Adam, Shadrick, Davis, Inc. (ASD) that was led by George Campbell, P.E. (a native of Illinois and graduate of University of Illinois) and Richard L. Rome, P.E. (a native of Kansas, and graduate of the University of Kansas). That same year Kermit resigned and is no longer active in the firm.
The acronym ‘ccrd’ is derived from the last names of the primary stockholders of the company at the time of the acquisition (Campbell, Colburn, Rome, Duthu). Colburn is no longer active in the firm.
Between 2002 through 2011, the firm expanded its national reach by opening additional offices in Richmond, Virginia; Miami, Florida; Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Phoenix, Arizona; Denver, Colorado; Kansas City, Missouri; and Washington, DC.
ccrd has expanded its global experience to include projects in Japan, Aruba, Saudi Arabia, Libya, UAE, Denmark, Germany, Brazil the United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic.
