Our History

Since 1976, CRA has grown from a small, regional engineering company, to one of the world´s most sought-after, multi-disciplinary engineering and consulting firms. Starting with the merger in 1976 of Frank A. Rovers & Associates and Conestoga Engineering, and fewer than 10 employees, CRA has grown to become the CRA Family of Companies with more than 2,300 employees in over 70 offices.

In the late 1970s, CRA´s reputation for strategic project management at environmentally impaired properties developed from its investigation, remedial design, and oversight of the Love Canal cleanup project in Niagara Falls, New York. This project was the primary impetus for what is now the CERCLA Superfund program in the United States and gave CRA international recognition in the environmental field. Since then, completed projects number in the thousands. Technical excellence and a penchant for capitalizing on opportunity accounted for much of CRA´s growth in the early years.

Our civil engineering/municipal infrastructure roots lie in providing traditional full-service engineering design and construction oversight services to several municipalities commencing in the 1970s. Many of these early clients remain with us today - a strong testament to our quality services.

Corporate responsibility, corporate accountability, technical excellence, and a commitment to consistent, superior services are all part of a philosophy that is a major factor in CRA´s outstanding, worldwide reputation, one that will enable the corporation to manage a future of continued growth and the provision of expert services to its clients.
